[00:00.00] The Workers’ Song
[00:05.33]
[00:05.33] I am a worker and I say it with pride
[00:09.42]
[00:09.42] The rich and their system I've always defied.
[00:13.97]
[00:13.97] The wealth is created by our class far and wide
[00:19.02]
[00:19.02] But the fruits of our labour are always denied.
[00:23.44]
[00:23.44] The system's bad, bad, it will have to go.
[00:28.62]
[00:32.27] I've worked with men from all over the globe,
[00:36.62]
[00:36.62] We're all of one class, we share weal and woe,
[00:41.30]
[00:41.30] But lately the racists have been launching attacks.
[00:46.03]
[00:46.03] Directed against the entire working class.
[00:50.77]
[00:50.77] We must fight, yes, we've got to fight back.
[00:56.66]
[00:59.47] Lately my wages have been going right down.
[01:03.76]
[01:03.76] The same thing is true for each worker in town,
[01:08.56]
[01:08.56] The government has not got our interests at heart,
[01:12.90]
[01:12.90] Just keeping alive has become quite an art.
[01:17.50]
[01:17.50] They go down, down, yes, wages go down.
[01:23.21]
[01:26.17] I went to the union to ask what to do,
[01:30.70]
[01:30.70] But the man at headquarters just hadn't a clue.
[01:35.31]
[01:35.31] He had a portrait of Callaghan and before it he knelt,
[01:39.72]
[01:39.72] And his only advice was to tighten my belt.
[01:44.33]
[01:44.33] He speaks for the rich and not for the working man.
[01:49.96]
[01:54.85] The cause of all problems is the capitalist class.
[01:59.20]
[01:59.20] They cause wars, they cause hardship - and they always blame us.
[02:04.00]
[02:04.00] With our Marxist-Leninist Party to lead,
[02:08.99]
[02:08.99] We have the solution - what the working class needs
[02:14.05]
[02:14.05] Is proletarian revolution.
