Man The Barricades
Lightly political
Do you hear the people sing?
Amid the booming drums of war
People in their thousands
Who've found something worth killing for
Do you hear the trumpets ring?
Calling fighters by the score
To stand and hold the line
Is something worth killing for.
Do you hear the people sing?
As they martial another corps
One manned by hate-filled
Who want something worth killing for
Do you hear the corporate jingle,
Shouting, "be strong and stand for me,"
Safe behind the barricades
Saying "kill them all so I can be free"
Do you hear the people sing?

Do you hear the people sing?
Beneath the dreadful drums of war
People in their millions
Who've found something worth dying for
Do you hear the people sing?
Pledging their futures by the score
Heroes who will hold the line
And have something worth dying for
Do you hear the people sing?
Rushing to stand fast at the fore
Ready to brace against the hate
And those who've found something worth killing for
Do you hear the people sing?
Calling "be brave and stand with me,
"Up here on the barricades,
"Hold them off or we'll never be free!"
