[Verse]
As the Epeople of England in numbers, they double
Move to the cities where work is to be Bfound
Well, it's Efarewell green country and greetings, black city
Grime smoking chimneys and machines' hellish Bsound
[Verse]
Men, Emothers and maidens and most of us children
Mindful of starving and bread sparing Bprice
We all Ego to the factory temple to offer
Our gift to the idol of Greed, sacriBfice
[Verse]
And it's C#mtwo months hard Alabour if Bworkers comEbine
But C#mcall the man The AGaffer, it's a Bfifteen guinea Efine
[Instrumental]
E A B E A B E
E A B E A B
[Verse]
We Epay for machines that take food from our table
We talk in dark rooms of a fair living Bwage
While Etheir house is filled with the fruits of our labour
Percival bets foreign ships out to Btrade
[Verse]
And it's C#mtwo months hard Alabour if Bworkers comEbine
But C#mcall the man The AGaffer, it's a Bfifteen guinea Efine

AC#mcross the narrow Awaters, where BFrenchie fought us Ehard
C#mFathers, sons and Abrothers died for Bnothing, be a Ebard
No C#mmeat in Frenchie's Abarrel, no Bcheese upon his Eboard
No C#mbread on Frenchie's Atable, no Bharvest has he Estored
