1.
Banker and boss hate the workers who stand,
Shoulder to shoulder in ev'ry land;
Though in the conflict our martyrs may fall,
Labor united will conquer all.
Then hear the thunder of toiling masses,
All creeds and colors, brain and brawn;
United under the Socialist banner,
Go marching forward to the dawn.
2.
Not fear or fraud or a fever that fades,
Wins for the workers "the barricades".
Only a movement courageous and sane.
Freedom and plenty and peace can gain.
Then hear the thunder of toiling masses,
All creeds and colors, brain and brawn;
United under the Socialist banner,
Go marching forward, then hear the dawn.
