“Up, Socialist Comrades” Karaoke (midi with lyrics).
Lyrics: Samuel H. Friedman.
Tune: Carl Gramm.
Up, socialist comrades, mass your numbers;
The drums beat time; the banners fly.
Labor’s hosts rise from their slumbers,
And freedom’s cause can never die!
We fight to bring to all who toil
The beauty of the sun and soil,
The might of knowledge and of splendor
When service to our class we render.
This is the only war workers should fight;
This is the only war workers will fight!
Ours is the mass; ours be the might.
Ours is the mass; ours be the might!
Uncounted hosts throughout the nation
From shop and store and mill and field
Facing sorrow and starvation,
Seize the power that you wield.
Have done with sighing and with tears.
Close ranks. The hour of freedom nears.
All exploitation we shall banish.
War, waste and want at last will vanish.
This is the only war workers should fight;
This is the only war workers will fight!
Ours is the mass; ours be the might.
Ours is the mass; ours be the might!
