“You Can’t Stop the March of the Toilers” Karaoke (midi with lyrics).
Lyrics: Richard Brazier.
Tune: “Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean.”
You can’t stop the march of the toilers
On their way to true liberty;
Vain are the plans of the spoilers
To keep the working class in slavery;
The masters in great fear are trembling
For the Workers’ banner is unfurled;
In one union, they are now assembling:
The Industrial Workers of the World.
Their banner red waves for you;
It’s the emblem of a union true;
The only union for toilers
Is the Industrial Workers of the World.
The Industrial Workers are leading
The workers on to liberty;
The cause of the toilers they’re pleading
To lead them out of wage slavery;
The star of industrial unionism is burning;
It gleams upon our banner-red unfurled;
The hearts of the workers now are turning
To the Industrial Workers of the World.
Their banner red waves for you;
It’s the emblem of a union true;
The only union for toilers
Is the Industrial Workers of the World.
