The Internationale (Lyrics: Billy Bragg)
Stand up, all victims of oppression For the tyrants fear your might Dont 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 Come greet the dawn and stand beside us Well live together or well die alone In our world poisoned by exploitation Those who have taken, now they must give And end the vanity of nations Weve but one earth on which to live
And so begins the final drama In the streets and in the fields We stand unbowed before their armour We defy their guns and shields When we fight, provoked by their aggression Let us be inspired by like and love For though they offer us concessions Change will not come from above

Help Save The Youth of America
Help save the youth of America Help save them from themselves Help save the sun-tanned surfer boys And the Californian girls
When the lights go out in the rest of the World What do our cousins say They're playing in the sun and having fun, fun, fun Till Daddy takes the gun away
From the Big Church to the Big River And out to the Shining Sea This is the Land of Opportunity And there's a Monkey Trial on TV
A nation with their freezers full Are dancing in their seats While outside another nation Is sleeping in the streets
Don't tell me the old, old story Tell me the truth this time Is the Man in the Mask or the Indian An enemy or a friend of mine
Help save the youth of America Help save the youth of the world Help save the boys in uniform Their mothers and their faithful girls
Listen to the voice of the soldier Down in the killing zone Talking about the cost of living And the price of bringing him home
They're already shipping the body bags Down below the Rio Grande But you can fight for democracy at home And not in some foreign land
And the fate of the great United States Is entwined in the fate of us all And the incident at Tschernobyl proves The world we live in is very small
And the cities of Europe have burned before And they may yet burn again And if they do I hope you understand That Washington will burn with them Omaha will burn with them Los Alamos will burn with them
