They Shall Not Pass

Just because we are 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 color of blood

Our only crime is wanting to be free

The enemy's the color of puss

The fascists in front of you & me

The hordes of puss in front of us

While you & me, of course we're free

But can't you hear their contempuous laugh

They want us free as air... to starve

Clenched our fist, set our hearts -- Even with our

backs against the wall

We give our word: they shall not pass -- There are

things that have to be said

Combat the violence that's on the increase -- Freedom

calls, now or never

Better live on your feet than die on your knees --

There is no going back

Even with our backs against the wall -- Clenched our

fist, set our hearts

There are things that have to be said -- We give our

word: they shall not pass

Freedom calls, now or never -- Combat the violence

that's on the increase

There is no going back -- Better live on your feet than

die on your knees

Even with our backs against the wall

There are things that have to be said

Freedom calls, now or never

There is no going back

Clenched our fist, 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

Don't die on your knees

Live on your feet

Don't die on your knees

Live on your feet

For no one is a slave

For no one is a slave

For no one is a slave

For no one is a slave
