Solidarity Song
Peoples of the world,
Join to serve the common cause!
So it feeds us all for
See to it that it's now yours.
Forward, without
Where our strength can be seen now to be!
When starving or when
Forward, not
Our solidarity!
Black or white or brown or
Leave your old disputes behind.
Once start talking with your
Men, you'll soon be of one mind.
Forward, without
Where our strength can be seen now to be!
When starving or when
Forward, not
Our solidarity!
If we want to make this
We'll need you and your support.
It's yourselves you'll be desertingif you rat your own sort.
Forward, without
Where our strength can be seen now to be!
When starving or when
Forward, not
Our solidarity!
All the gang of those who rule
Hope our quarrels never
Helping them to split and fool
So they can remain on top.
Forward, without
Where our strength can be seen now to be!
When starving or when
Forward, not
Our solidarity!
Workers of the world,
Thats the way to lose your chains.
Mighty regiments now are
That no tyranny remains!
Forward, without
Till the concrete question is
When starving or when eating:
Whose tomorrow is tomorrow?
And whose world is the world?
Bertolt Brecht
