The Internationale [variant words in square brackets]Arise ye workers [starvelings] from your slumbersArise ye prisoners of wantFor reason in revolt now thundersAnd at last ends the age of cant.Away with all your superstitionsServile masses arise, ariseWe'll change henceforth [forthwith] the old tradition [conditions]And spurn the dust to win the prize.So comrades, come rallyAnd the last fight let us faceThe Internationale unites the human race.So comrades, come rallyAnd the last fight let us faceThe Internationale unites the human race.No more deluded by reactionOn tyrants only we'll make warThe soldiers too will take strike actionThey'll break ranks and fight no moreAnd if those cannibals keep tryingTo sacrifice us to their prideThey soon shall hear the bullets flyingWe'll shoot the generals on our own side.No saviour from on high deliversNo faith have we in prince or peerOur own right hand the chains must shiverChains of hatred, greed and fearE'er the thieves will out with their booty [give up their booty]And give to all a happier lot.Each [those] at the forge must do their dutyAnd we'll strike while the iron is hot.Includes versions by:
