Workers, now I know, what will make the union grow
Agitation, education, will defeat the foe.
Workers don't you see you must make your own selves free,
Do get wise and organize and strike for liberty.
We'll no longer work for wages, we'll just take all we produce
We have been wage slaves all through the ages
We ourselves must break the fetters loose
Then we will no longer heed the masters
Our defiance at them we will hurl
And we'll bid good bye to all wage slavery
And the red flag we will unfurl.
Masters boast in vain Bolshevism is on the wane
But the shirkers will be workers under Labors reign,
Toilers don't despair; we have but to do our share,
Agitating, educating, we must do and dare.
