作曲 : Chris Thompson When they give you gun and tell you war has begun And send you out to do some murder Don't fight on their wars defy all their bourgeois laws Class brothers must not shoot one another In imperialist wars workers give their lives The ruling class makes no sacrifice We have no choice if we want to live in peace Don't die for them but bring them to their knees Before the first world war, labour leaders hotly swore That by the working class they'd stand But when the capitalist called, on their well-worn knees they crawled To fight for their glorious homeland When the spectre of world war comes knocking at the door Class traitors start to howl but we don't have to fear It means the time is getting near when the working class shall rule In imperialist wars workers give their lives The ruling class makes no sacrifice We have no choice if we want to live in peace Don't die for them but bring them to their knees Some say the British empire has finally expired and its rulers lost all life But if that's so we would like to know why in many lands across the globe they still weld their butchers knife In lands across the sea they're now fighting to be free Their demand is to rule themselves We've got a common cause we must support them in their wars by fighting to free ourselves In imperialist wars workers give their lives The ruling class makes no sacrifice We have no choice if we want to live in peace Don't die for them but bring them to their knees
