United Front Song

Topics: classic

And because a man is human He'll want to eat, and thanks a lot But talk can't take the place of meat or fill an empty pot. So left, two, three! So left, two, three! Comrade, there's a place for you. Take your stand in the workers united front For you are a worker too. And because a man is human he won't care for a kick in the face. He doesn't want slaves under him Or above him a ruling class. So left, two, three! So left, two, three! Comrade, there's a place for you. Take your stand in the workers united front For you are a worker too. And because a worker's a worker No one else will bring him liberty. It's nobody's work but the worker' own To set the worker free. So left, two, three! So left, two, three! Comrade, there's a place for you. Take your stand in the workers united front For you are a worker too.
