English Internationale (with lyrics)

The British/Irish version of the Internationale sung by Alistair Hulett. Enjoy!

**LYRICS**
Arise, ye workers from your slumber,
Arise, ye prisoners of want.
For reason in revolt now thunders,
and at last ends the age of cant!
Away with all your superstitions,
Servile masses, arise, arise!
We'll change henceforth the old tradition,
And spurn the dust to win the prize!
So comrades, come rally,
And the last fight let us face.
The Internationale,
Unites the human race.
So comrades, come rally,
And the last fight let us face.
The Internationale,
Unites the human race.

No more deluded by reaction,
On tyrants only we'll make war!
The soldiers too will take strike action,
They'll break ranks and fight no more!
And if those cannibals keep trying,
To sacrifice us to their pride,
They soon shall hear the bullets flying,
We'll shoot the generals on our own side.
So comrades, come rally,
And the last fight let us face.
The Internationale,
Unites the human race.
So comrades, come rally,
And the last fight let us face.
The Internationale,
Unites the human race.

No saviour from on high delivers,
No faith have we in prince or peer.
Our own right hand the chains must shiver,
Chains of hatred, greed and fear.
E'er the thieves will out with their booty,
And to all give a happier lot.
Each at his forge must do their duty,
And we'll strike the iron while it's hot.
So comrades, come rally,
And the last fight let us face.
The Internationale,
Unites the human race.
So comrades, come rally,
And the last fight let us face.
The Internationale,
Unites the human race.

@493175001: So now the US, China, and Russia are ruled by Oligarchs. You see, countries like the US, Russia, and China are Communist for those at the top and State Capitalist for everyone else. It doesn't matter if ultimate State power is in the Politburo or Corporations.

If ultimate democratic power does not reside in the workers, then Socialism cannot exist.

[Cameron Hammock]

Almost there. Capitalism has nearly reached it's pinnacle. The system is crumbling. Will we reset? Or will we evolve toward true socialism? That is up to us my friends. First, we must all gain knowledge. Study both sides and determine our fate wisely. Remember dialectics. Humanity's greatest chapter is near.

Listen, thats a Logical fallacy, If thats allowed to be taken as argument, Then You cannot accept farmwork, because most of it was made under Monarchies, during feudalism, with the economy otherwise based on Mercantile.

[Storm Kaap]

It's not just workers being exploited you're against a capitalist system that without such you would not have a computer.

[MarchToFreedom]

Ah, the fallacy that because we use a computer we're not allowed to disagree with people being exploited for profit....

[Brian Kiernan Smith]

i would ask, do we have the leaders and foot soldiers to carry it through to conclusion.

[Storm Kaap]

Did you write this on an Apple or Microsoft computer?

At least she wanted Universal Health Care. Looks like the Iron Lady had a GRAIN of Red on her.

[rizabuv]

Let's do it, comrades! Dump the Democrats! We can take 'em in a day! No votes for GOP, or the donkeys! Solidarity forever!

[Jonathan Cobb]

Happy International Workers' Day, comrades!
