Against All Authority - Haymarket Square Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • No one's gonna hold them down today
  • They're ready to fight for their rights
  • On May 3rd, 1886
  • Chicago burned with the fire they lit
  • The workers were on strike cause money's tight
  • The pigs were out and looking for a fight
  • They opened fire into the crowd
  • A worker was hit and he went down
  • No one's gonna hold them down
  • No! They're gonna burn this *****in' town
  • August spies denounced capitalism
  • But he urged no violence
  • He was addressing a crowd of workers
  • The pigs ordered him silenced
  • A bomb was thrown and the silence wailed
  • A pig laid dead and 8 were jailed
  • That day the system failed
  • You know it never fails
  • If you think you can crush these ideas
  • That are gaining ground more each day
  • If death is the penalty for proclaiming truth
  • Then I'll proudly and defiantly pay
  • Four men were sentenced to death
  • To set an example to all the rest
  • Who would dare to stand and protest
  • The injustices we all detest
