United Front Song

By Bertolt Brecht

And because a man is human

He'll want to eat, and thanks a lot

But talk can't take the place of meat

or fill an empty pot.

So left, two, three!

So left, two, three!

Comrade, there's a place for you.

Take your stand in the workers united front

For you are a worker too.

And because a man is human

he won't care for a kick in the face.

He doesn't want slaves under him

Or above him a ruling class.

So left, two, three!

So left, two, three!

Comrade, there's a place for you.

Take your stand in the workers united front

For you are a worker too.

And because a worker's a worker

No one else will bring him liberty.

It's nobody's work but the worker' own

To set the worker free.

So left, two, three!

So left, two, three!

Comrade, there's a place for you.

Take your stand in the workers united front

For you are a worker too.
