                         A

1. Throughout centuries in every country

               D

    we've faced the wrath and felt the pain

               A

    of the tyrant's sword or the henchman's boot

              E

    for another rich man's gain.

               A

    In the endless quest for wealth and power,

               D

    they stomp us down with great disdain

           A                               E                   D                          A

    beneath the false god's banner in the name of all that's vain.

                    A                    E          F#m                     D

    Through crime and crusade our labor, it's been stolen,

                         A                     E

    we've been robbed of our freedom,

                        F#m                       D

    we've been held down and beholden

                A                        E                 F#m                       D

    to the bosses and the bankers who never gave their share

                   A                    E                D

    of any blood, of any sweat, of any tears.

 

                             D                         A                   E

Who'll stand with us ? Don't tell us everything is fine !

                             D                             A                   E

Who'll stand with us ? Because this treatment is a crime !

                        A                    E           F#m                         D

The working people fuel the engine while you yank the chain,

                       A                          E                   D                       A

we fight the wars and build the buildings for someone else's gain.

                       A          E            A

So tell me, who will stand with us ?

2. And as time rolls on not a single thing has changed,

              A                                        E

    the wealth gap's only grown as we all point the blame.

                              A                                                  D

    We're at the throats of one another though we share a single fate,

                   A                         E                    D                     A

    and the golden few laugh on and on as we all take the bait.

    Through crime and crusade our labor, it's been stolen,
