Paint ’er Red Lyrics
Come with us you working men
And join the rebel band
Come you discontented ones
And give a helping hand
We march against the parasite
To drive him from the land
With one big industrial union
(CHORUS)
Hurrah! Hurrah! We're going to paint 'er red
Hurrah! Hurrah! The way is clear ahead
We're gaining shop democracy;
And liberty and bread
With one big industrial union
In factory and field and mine
We gather in our might
We're on the job and know the way
To win the hardest fight
For the beacon that shall guidе us
Out of darkness into light
Is one big industrial union
(CHORUS)
Hurrah! Hurrah! We'rе going to paint 'er red
Hurrah! Hurrah! The way is clear ahead
We're gaining shop democracy;
And liberty and bread
With one big industrial union
We hate this rotten system
More than any mortals do;
Our aim is not to patch it up
But build it all anew
And what we'll have for government
When finally we're through
Is one big industrial union
