The Internationale |
| Stand up, all victims of oppression |
| For the tyrants fear your might! |
| Don’t cling so hard to your possessions |
| For you have nothing if you have no rights! |
| Let racist ignorance be ended |
| For respect makes the empires fall! |
| Freedom is merely privilege extended |
| Unless enjoyed by one and all |
| So come brothers and sisters |
| For the struggle carries on |
| The Internationale |
| Unites the world in song |
| So comrades, come rally |
| For this is the time and place! |
| The international ideal |
| Unites the human race |
| Let no one build walls to divide us |
| Walls of hatred nor walls of stone |
| Come greet the dawn and stand beside us |
| We’ll live together or we’ll die alone |
| In our world poisoned by exploitation |
| Those who have taken, now they must give! |
| And end the vanity of nations |
| We’ve but one Earth on which to live |
| So come brothers and sisters |
| For the struggle carries on |
| The Internationale |
| Unites the world in song |
| So comrades, come rally |
| For this is the time and place! |
| The international ideal |
| Unites the human race |
| And so begins the final drama |
| In the streets and in the fields |
| We stand unbowed before their armour |
| We defy their guns and shields! |
| When we fight, provoked by their aggression |
| Let us be inspired by life and love |
| For though they offer us concessions |
| Change will not come from above! |
| So come brothers and sisters |
| For the struggle carries on |
| The Internationale |
| Unites the world in song |
| So comrades, come rally |
| For this is the time and place! |
| The international ideal |
| Unites the human race |
