When the People Have Burst Their Chains

anonyme

Text anonymous (≤1981). Tune : « When Johnny Comes Marching Home ».

When the people have burst their chains at last
Horrah ! Horrah !
The golden age will have come to pass
Hoorah ! Hoorah !
No child will starve and no soldier die
And we’ll all be free beneath the sky
And no kings will rule when
The people have burst their chains,
 
When the workers begin to organise
Hoorah ! Hoorah !
The boss will be in for a big surprise
Hoorah ! Hoorah !
With workers hearts and worker’s arms
We’ll seize the factories and the farms
And we’ll all be free
When the workers have organised.
