📜 Lyrics
Gene Debs said "To hell with war!
To hell with all who crave it!
When masters rule the world no more
We'll need no wars to save it."
While the ones who own the tools
Hoard the wealth and make the rules
The whole planet suffers
For the powerful few
Gene Debs had a lot to say
Years ago/ True today
With two million locked away
What can we do?
There’s a better world a-waiting – Work to win it
Put an end to poverty, to hunger, despair
While there is a lower class I am in it
There’s enough for everyone to have a fair share
While there is a lower class I am in it
Where there is injustice it is done to me
While there is a criminal element I am of it
While there is a soul in prison I am not free
Not behind the prison wall but high above it
Truth and honor call upon us – rise and resist!
While there is a criminal element I am of it
Crime will be unknown when peace and justice exist
While there is a lower class I am in it
Where there is injustice it is done to me
While there is a criminal element I am of it
While there is a soul in prison I am not free
Give each child an education
Let work have meaning for us all
No more brutal retribution, reach out to those who fall
Let us at last protect the planet clean up water and the air
Let work be driven not by profit let's build a world everyone can share
Speak truth to power and they call it revolution
Open your hearts and it’s so easy to see
Punishing the poor is just a rich man’s solution
While there is a soul in prison I am not free
While there is a lower class I am in it
Where there is injustice it is done to me
While there is a criminal element I am of it
While there is a soul in prison I am not free
While there is a lower class I am in it
Where there is injustice it is done to me
While there is a criminal element I am of it
While there is a soul in prison I am not free
To hell with all who crave it!
When masters rule the world no more
We'll need no wars to save it."
