United Front Song

 And because a man is human
He'll want to eat, and thanks a lot
But talk can't take the place of meat
or fill an empty pot.
So left, two, three! So left, two, three! Comrade, there's a place for you.
Take your stand in the workers united front For you are a worker too.
And because a man is human he won't care for a kick in the face.
He doesn't want slaves under him Or above him a ruling class.
So left, two, three! So left, two, three! Comrade, there's a place for you.
Take your stand in the workers united front For you are a worker too.
And because a worker's a worker No one else will bring him liberty.
It's nobody's work but the worker' own To set the worker free.
So left, two, three! So left, two, three! Comrade, there's a place for you.
Take your stand in the workers united front For you are a worker too.
