“ These parasites are living, i nluxury and state;
While millions starve and shiver, and moan their wretched fate;
They know not why they die, nor do they ever try
Their lot in life to better;
They only mourn and sigh. ”

“ We have smeared them with tar and we've beat them with clubs,
And scared away the working dubs.
There's no chance for their organization—
ONE BIG UNION has turned to air,
And back are the toilers to slav'ry again:"
'Twas the dream of a millionaire.
From every cell does the grand message swell;
"The toilers must organize!
Put down your tyrant masters,
Accept no compromise,
And the dream of your slavery's night
Shall come true in the real freedom's light:
Second CHORUS
When the Industrial Workers shall thriumph,
All the masters must go to work ”
