THERE IS POWER

(Joe Hill)



Would you have freedom from wage slavery?

Then join in the grand industrial band

Would you from mis'ry and hunger be free

Then come do your share like a man



There is power, there is power in a band of working men

When they stand hand in hand

There's a pow'r, there's a pow'r that must rule in every land

One industrial union grand



Would you have mansions of gold in the sky

And live in a shack, way in the back?

Would you have wings up in Heaven to fly

And starve here with rags on your back?



If you've had enough of the blood of the lamb

Then join in the grand industrial band

If, for a change, you'd have eggs and ham

Then come do your share like a man



If you like sluggers to beat off your head

Then don't organize, all unions despise

If you want nothing before you are dead

Shake hands with your boss and look wise



Come all ye workers, from every land

Come join the grand industrial band

Then we our share of this earth shall demand

Come on, do your share like a man
