[Intro] oh... [verse 1] Would you have freedom from wage slavery, Then join in the grand Industrial band; Would you from mis'ry and hunger be free, Then come! Do your share, like a man. [Chorus] There is pow'r, there is pow'r In a band of workingmen, When they stand hand in hand, (oooooo) That's a pow'r, that's a pow'r That must rule in every land— (aaaa aaaa) One Industrial Union Grand. (mmmmm) mmm [verse 2] Would you have mansions of gold in the sky, And live in a shack, way in the back? Would you have wings up in heaven to fly, And starve here with rags on your back....? oh.... [Chorus] There is pow'r, there is pow'r In a band of workingmen, When they stand hand in hand, (hand in hand) That's a pow'r, that's a pow'r That must rule in every land— (every land) One Industrial Union Grand. [musical interlude] [verse 3] If you've had "nuff" of "the blood of the lamb" Then join in the grand Industrial band; (mmmmm) If, for a change, you would have eggs and ham, Then come, do your share, like a man..... (oooooo) (mmmm) [Bridge] [Fewer Intsruments] If you like sluggers to beat off you head, Then don't organize, all unions despise.... 'Cos [Chorus] There is pow'r, there is pow'r In a band of workingmen, When they stand hand in hand, (hand in hand) That's a pow'r, that's a pow'r (mmmmm) That must rule in every land— (every land) One Industrial Union Grand. [Outro] [Introspective] [Ensemble call and response Ad-Libs.] If you want nothing before you are dead, (ooo ooo) Shake hands with your boss and look wise. Come, all ye workers, from every land, (aaa aaaa) Come, join in the grand Industrial band, Then we our share of this earth shall demand. (ooo ooo) Come on! Do your share, like a man. (mmmm mmmm...) (mmm mmm mmmm....) [musical ending]
