Hands Off Or Die |
| Around the table sat the people |
| Some were eating some were starving |
| For there was never quite enough |
| For each to have a share |
| Every day there was a murder |
| Or a knifing with someone shouting |
| «Get your hands off you bastard |
| That’s my food you’re eating» |
| «That does not do mother’s salt on some» (?) |
| Blamed the blackguard (?) |
| Women didn’t even get a ruping (?) |
| Every day an insane scramble just to get enough |
| They would rather kill someone than let somebody get too much |
| There was much din and they argued |
| About the meaning of these things |
| Some said the pittance should be shared out equally |
| But some of them said it proved man was evil |
| As they tucked into their enormous share |
| But the wisest of them said |
| «Till there’s enough to go around |
| The men’s scramble will continue |
| Fight to bring the system down» |
