Gone are the days, when the master class could say,
"We'll work you long hours for little pay;
We'll work you all day and half the night as well."
But I hear the workers' voices saying, "You will, like Hell."
CHORUS:
For we're going, we're going to take an eight hour day.
We surely will surprise the Boss some first of May.
Now, workingmen, it's up to you to say
If you want a general eight hour day.
As soon as you are ready, we are with you heart and hand.
All you have to do is to join our Union grand.
CHORUS:
Now, workingmen, we are working far too long;
That's why we've got this vast unemployed throng
Give every worker a chance to work each day;
Let's all join together and to the Boss all say,
CHORUS:
SABOTAGE.
Make it too expensive for the boss to take the lives and liberty of the workers. Stop the endless court trials by using the Wooden Shoe on the job.
Secure a bundle order of Solidarity each week for distribution, one and one-half cents per copy.
"War is Hell." Let the capitalists go to war to protect their own property.
