Haymarket Square |
No one’s gonna hold them down today |
They’re ready to fight for their rights |
On May 3rd, 1886 |
Chicago burned with the fire they lit |
The workers were on strike cause money’s tight |
The pigs were out and looking for a fight |
They opened fire into the crowd |
A worker was hit and he went down |
No one’s gonna hold them down |
No! |
They’re gonna burn this fuckin’town |
August spies denounced capitalism |
But he urged no violence |
He was addressing a crowd of workers |
The pigs ordered him silenced |
A bomb was thrown and the silence wailed |
A pig laid dead and 8 were jailed |
That day the system failed |
You know it never fails |
If you think you can crush these ideas |
That are gaining ground more each day |
If death is the penalty for proclaiming truth |
Then I’ll proudly and defiantly pay |
Four men were sentenced to death |
To set an example to all the rest |
Who would dare to stand and protest |
The injustices we all detest |
