WHICH SIDE ARE YOU ON?

(Traditional music with lyrics by Florence Reece and Winston Apple)

We’re starting our good battle, we know we’re sure to win
Because the ideas of the corporatists are looking mighty thin
This battle may go on for years, perhaps it’ll never end
But if at first we don’t succeed, we’ll try and try again

Which side are you on, people? Which side are you on?
Which side are you on? Hey, people, which side are you on?

They made us pay for their mistakes, they said we had no say
We’ll show ‘em what we’ve got to say come election day
Too big to fail, is too big, so let’s cut ‘em down to size
We the people can get the job done, if we organize

Which side are you on, people? Which side are you on?
Which side are you on? Hey, people, which side are you on?

All across the USA no neutrals can be found
You’re either with we the people, or you’re helping them keep us down
Take a look in the mirror, look closely people and tell me what you see
Are you a frightened lamb or an American?
Proud and strong and free

Which side are you on, people? Which side are you on?
Which side are you on? Hey, people, which side are you on?

The signs are everywhere, I’ve seen ‘em and I’ve come to tell the tale
Of how the Holy Spirit gets driven out, when the devil comes in to dwell
Come gather ‘round and listen people, hear what the news won’t tell
We’ve had enough, to hell with the devil, let’s ring that closing bell

Which side are you on, people? Which side are you on?
Which side are you on? Hey, people, which side are you on?

Well, all you workers of the world come join together as one
United we will change the world, we won’t quit ‘til the job is done
If at first, we don’t succeed, we’ll try and try again
With Truth and Justice on our side, we are sure to win
Truth and Justice are on our side and that’s what matters in the end
