Just because we're human we don't like guns against our head we want no servants underfoot and no bosses overhead so take the course of left and back it at the crooked system, whack it there's a cause to get excited whatever is wrong, let's right it We reds are the colour of blood our only crime is wanting to be free the enemy is the colour of pus the fascists in front of you and me the hordes of pus in front of us while you and me, of course were free but can't you hear their contemptuous laugh they want us free as air to starve Even with our back against the wall there are things that have to be said freedom calls, its now or never there is no going back clenched our fists, set our hearts we give our word: they shall not pass combat the violence that's on the increase better live on your feet than die on your knees Don't die on your knees live on your feet for no one is a slave
