"Song Of The Hunger Marchers"
1.We march from a stricken country, From broken hill and vale,
Where factory yards are empty, And the rusty gear for sale.
Our country will not thrive again, Our strength is not for use,
The bubble of prosperity Has never come to us.
※Then rouse to our tread When you hear us marching by;’
For servility is dead And the Means Test too shall die!
Though they think our spirit’s broken, Because we’re underfed,
We will stamp the Starvation Government Beneath the workers’ tread,
Stamp, stamp, stamp, stamp
We will stamp the Starvation Government Beneath the workers’ tread.
2.We pass through sleeping villages And poor and struggling farms,
We pass through towns where fact’ries Are forging war and arms.
In towns and fields and villages We see it more and more,
How the boss exploits the worker And drives him into war.

3.And this Employers’ Government, Is hoping for the best,
To set one against another By the grading of the Test.
They would train us in their Labour Camps For action against you,
But we march for the working-class, For we are workers too.

4.Remember, fellow workers, Who earn a wage to-day,
That they’ll throw you on the scrapheap, When they find it doesn’t pay.
All you who are employed, Making cartridges and bombs,
We’ll be marching side by side, When the final crisis comes.


"Rise of Communism"っていうCDに入ってた歌。歌詞は題名でググってみつけたが、曲の来歴は不明だった
(世界恐慌の頃のアメリカの労働歌だろうか?)
歌詞の内容が今の日本にも結構通用しそうな感じなんで、衆院選直前のこの時期に貼ってみた
(メロディも恨みと怒りのこもったいい感じのものなんだが、音源のupの仕方がわからん……)
「食わせぬ政府を踏み潰せ、労働者の足取りで!」
