“Socialism’s Mandate” Karaoke (midi with lyrics).
Lyrics: Bouck White.
Tune: “Tenting on the Old Camp Ground.”
Capitalism is now earth’s creed.
Speak out the message clear.
Fountain of wars and want and greed;
To magnates, ever dear.
Socialism’s mandate is holy and right,
Born of God and sent to earth.
Fellowship’s glad reign’s coming now with might:
The dawn of human worth.
Man’s inhumanity unto man
Extends with rapid pace.
From pole to pole, foul mammon’s ban:
The foe of joy and grace.
Socialism’s mandate is holy and right,
Born of God and sent to earth.
Fellowship’s glad reign’s coming now with might:
The dawn of human worth.
From slums and sweatshops we’ll ne’er be free,
Hear, O, ye statesmen sage,
’Til comes industrial liberty:
Sweet freedom’s golden age.
Socialism’s mandate is holy and right,
Born of God and sent to earth.
Fellowship’s glad reign’s coming now with might:
The dawn of human worth.
Diseases vile are poverty’s gift.
Count o’er the thousands slain.
From workshops all, there shall uplift
Redemption’s glad refrain.
Socialism’s mandate is holy and right,
Born of God and sent to earth.
Fellowship’s glad reign’s coming now with might:
The dawn of human worth.
