- Lyrics -
Would you have freedom from wage slavery,
then join in the grand industrial band;
would you from misery and hunger be free,
then come do your share, like a man.

There is power, there is power
in a band of working men,
when they stand hand in hand,
that's a power, that's a power
that must rule in every land.
One Industrial Union grand!

Would you have mansions of gold in the sky,
and live in a shack, away in the back?
Would you have wings up in heaven to fly,
and starve here with rags on your back?

There is power, there is power
in a band of working men,
when they stand hand in hand,
that's a power, there is power
that must rule in every land.
One Industrial Union grand.

If you've had enough of the blood of the lamb
then join in the grand industrial band;
if, for a change, you would have eggs and ham,
then come, do your share, like a man.

There is power, there is power
in a band of working men,
when they stand hand in hand,
that's a power, there is power
that must rule in every land.
One Industrial Union grand.

Come, all ye workers, from every land,
come, join in the grand industrial band,
then we our share of this earth shall demand.
Come on, do your share, like a man!

There is power, there is power
in a band of working men,
when they stand hand in hand,
that's a power, there is power
that must rule in every land.
One Industrial Union grand.
