LYRICS: O' Come all of you workers Who toil night and day By hand and by brain To earn your pay Who for centuries long past For no more than your bread Have bled for your countries And counted your dead We're the first ones to starve The first ones to die The first ones in line For that pie-in-the-sky And always the last When the cream is shared out For the worker is working When the fat cat's about In the factories and mills, In the shipyards and mines We've often been told To keep up with the times For our skills are not needed, They've streamlined the job And with sliderule and stopwatch Our pride they have robbed We're the first ones to starve The first ones to die The first ones in line For that pie-in-the-sky And always the last When the cream is shared out For the worker is working When the fat cat's about But when the sky darkens And the prospect is war Who's given a gun And then pushed to the fore And expected to die For the land of our birth Though we've never owned One lousy handful of earth We're the first ones to starve The first ones to die The first ones in line For that pie-in-the-sky And always the last When the cream is shared out For the worker is working When the fat cat's about And all of these things The worker has done From tilling the fields To carrying the gun We've been yoked to the plough Since time first began And always expected To carry the can We're the first ones to starve The first ones to die The first ones in line For that pie-in-the-sky And always the last When the cream is shared out For the worker is working When the fat cat's about We're the first ones to starve The first ones to die The first ones in line For that pie-in-the-sky And always the last When the cream is shared out For the worker is working When the fat cat's about

"J" will jump backward 10 seconds, "K" will Pause/Play (so will the Space Bar), and "L" will jump forward 10 seconds. "🡰" (Left Arrow) will jump backward 5 seconds, and "🡲" (Right Arrow) will jump forward 5 seconds. Good luck in your searches! (You can find other keyboard shortcuts by holding "Shift" plus "?".)

Songs like this do two important things. It tells everyone who toils and suffers that you are not alone. And more importantly, it offers solidarity in knowing we are strong together.

I cried my way through the chorus each time. Retired from the rat race last summer, a body sore, mind numbed and sleep deprived journey from simple laborer up to the front of a classroom in our public school system. I respect all of you who labor in the shadow of the fat cats, whatever you do to keep afloat in this world.👊

@@avionrico6941 My friend capitalism is the system of stock holders demanding more and more growth for more and more payout. They are why the workers can't dictate their schedules, their production, their pay etc. For every dollar someone earns that isn't worked for there is someone creating a dollar of earnings they will never receive. There is no reform of capitalism. Labor and Capital will always be at odds until one wipes out the other.

Thank you. My family is blue collared workers in the US, with prior generations in the coal mines. Blue collars are especially the first to be forgotten, making it difficult to seek even needed treatment. Modern technology and regulations put so many miners out of jobs, which paid to feed families.

a song for the people that's what this is, a song for those that empires ride on the backs of, every drop of blood or cent made is shed by the people that they would forget, a song to be song we we take the rope that they use to lead and we string it up ready for the neck of the ones that would use the people, a song of quite everyday love from fathers ,mothers ,sisters ,brothers ,sons ,daughters a song for those that are the backs of this world a song that should be song allowed for all to hear this is one of the greatest songs i think I've heard and a song that we need now more then ever

It's beautiful too know worker's are fighting back again .I am proud to be born into this class. We hold the key to the future. Right now we are organizing again and we are calling back to the revolutionary tradition which is ours and ours alone . The working class has no fatherland and together we are seeing that truth. Revolution is on it's way and what a time to be alive too witness the beginning of the beginning of the new world too be .

I first heard the Dropkick Murphys version on Blackout back in 2004. I was just a young kid and liked the tune but didn't really get it. Damn near 20 years on and over 12 years into a career in the automotive industry, this song punches hard into me. Their version is like a front lines rallying cry, but yours is a community with arms slung over each other's shoulders to stand up and say "Enough." We need more of that in this world today.

I worked all through Covid, being told but that I'm essential and a hero, while being threatened with death by death from people being fired up by cable news. We couldn't demand people wear masks, since the local and county police refused to enforce it. But I was essential. I was a hero. They thanked me for my service... For a minute. Now it's back to 'you're lucky you have a job', and 'get back to work.'. I never stopped. They're on cable news complaining about the million workers that are missing, calling them lazy. They're not lazy. They're dead. They're gone. They're not coming back.

People where I lived mostly wore masks withoiut complaining. The problem was that they would take them off to sneeze. I saw a lady sneeze on the oranges I had just put out and I gave her a death stare, though we weren't supposed to throw out anything so I had to just leave it. So disgusting. And of course, we were heroes for all of two months, by which point our $2/hr bonus was retracted and we went right back to minimum wage, just in time for the positive PR from the wage bump to wear off.
