Stand up, all victims of oppression

For the tyrants fear your might.

Don't cling so hard to your possessions

For you have nothing if you have no rights.

Let racist ignorance be ended

For respect makes the empires fall.

Freedom is merely privilege extended

Unless enjoyed by one and all.

Chorus:

So come brothers and sisters for the struggle carries on.

The Internationale unites the world in song.

So, comrades, come rally for this is the time and place.

The international ideal unites the human race.

Let no-one build walls to divide us,

Walls of hatred nor walls of stone.

Oh, greet the dawn and come and join us.

We'll live together or we'll die alone.

In our world, poisoned by exploitation

Those who have taken, now they must give.

And end the vanity of nations.

We've but one earth on which to live.

Chorus:

So come brothers and sisters for the struggle carries on.

The Internationale unites the world in song.

So, comrades, come rally for this is the time and place.

The international ideal unites the human race.

And so begins the final drama In the streets and in the fields.

We'll resist united 'gainst their armour.

Well defy their guns and shields.

When we fight, provoked by their aggression,

Let's be inspired by life and love.

For, though they offer us concessions,

Change will not come from above.

Chorus:

So come brothers and sisters for the struggle carries on.

The Internationale unites the world in song.

So, comrades, come rally for this is the time and place.

The international ideal unites the human race.
