Standard (EADGBE)

Would you have freedom from wage slavery?

 Then join in the grand industrial band

 Would you from mis'ry and hunger be free

 Then come do your share like a man

Chorus

There is power, There is power,

 in a band of working men

 When they stand hand in hand

There is power, There is power,

 that must rule in every land

 One industrial union grand

Chorus

Would you have mansions of gold in the sky

 And live in a shack, way in the back?

 Would you have wings up in Heaven to fly

 And starve here with rags on your back?

Chorus

If you've had enough of the blood of the lamb

Then join in the grand industrial band

If, for a change, you'd have eggs and ham

Then come do your share like a man

Chorus

If you like sluggers to beat off your head

Then don't organize, all unions despise

If you want nothing before you are dead

Shake hands with your boss and look wise

Chorus

Come all ye workers, from every land

Come join the grand industrial band

Then we our share of this earth shall demand

Come on, do your share like a man

Chorus
