In the mines and in the mills, cutting corners where you will
Go down, you blue murderers, go down!
In the air and all at sea put your profit before safety
Go down, you blue murderers, go down!

They own everything we need to live
and generously deign to 'give' ?
A little back to us of what we've made;
While they themselves keep the rest
and have themselves the very best
And every comfort in their lives that they can raid!

As long as Capital controls the way we run our lives
from day to day,
Then nothing much will change for you and me;
But let us say we've had enough ? however hard, however tough
And make the profit system history!
