| [00:11.34] |
Yeah, this one's for the workers who toil night and day |
| [00:16.37] |
By hand and by brain to earn your pay |
| [00:21.22] |
Who for centuries long past for no more than your bread |
| [00:26.27] |
Have bled for your countries and counted your dead |
| [00:30.70] |
|
| [00:40.67] |
In the factories and mills, in the shipyards and mines |
| [00:46.13] |
We've often been told to keep up with the times |
| [00:51.03] |
For our skills are not needed, they've streamlined the job |
| [00:55.83] |
And with sliderule and stopwatch our pride they have robbed |
| [01:00.60] |
|
| [01:00.81] |
We're the first ones to starve, we're the first ones to die |
| [01:05.70] |
The first ones in line for that pie-in-the-sky |
| [01:10.54] |
And we're always the last when the cream is shared out |
| [01:15.89] |
For the worker is working when the fat cat's about |
| [01:20.25] |
|
| [01:20.92] |
And when the sky darkens and the prospect is war |
| [01:25.57] |
Who's given a gun and then pushed to the fore |
| [01:30.38] |
And expected to die for the land of our birth |
| [01:35.59] |
Though we've never owned one lousy handful of earth |
| [01:39.30] |
|
| [01:40.02] |
We're the first ones to starve, we're the first ones to die |
| [01:45.53] |
The first ones in line for that pie-in-the-sky |
| [01:50.01] |
And we're always the last when the cream is shared out |
| [01:55.01] |
For the worker is working when the fat cat's about |
| [02:00.10] |
|
| [02:20.05] |
We're the first ones to starve, we're the first ones to die |
| [02:25.35] |
The first ones in line for that pie-in-the-sky |
| [02:30.13] |
And we're always the last when the cream is shared out |
| [02:34.99] |
For the worker is working when the fat cat's about |
| [02:39.76] |
|
| [02:40.03] |
We're the first ones to starve, we're the first ones to die |
| [02:44.99] |
The first ones in line for that pie-in-the-sky |
| [02:49.81] |
And we're always the last when the cream is shared out |
| [02:54.71] |
For the worker is working when the fat cat's about |
| [02:59.07] |
|
| [03:01.35] |
And all of these things the worker has done |
| [03:06.56] |
From tilling the fields to carrying the gun |
| [03:12.44] |
We've been yoked to the plough since time first began |
| [03:18.15] |
And always expected to carry the can |
