We are marching for liberation
We want our revolution now

RISE IN PROTEST

We're gonna do what - protest
We need to do what - protest
We're ready to what - protest
We're gonna knock it down to the ground

Corporate welfare's got to go
Human needs should run the show
Knock it knock it down - RISE UP

ALE BRIDER
Adapted from a poem by Morris Winshevsky
Chorus (nign):
Day day...

Chorus:

Un mir zaynen ale shvester; Oy, oy, ale shvester

Un mir zaynen ale eynik Oy, oy, ale eynik
Tsi mir zaynen fil tsi veynik Oy, oy, oy.

Chorus:

translation
We are all brothers and sing happy songs.
And we are all sisters.
We stay together, always united,
caring for one another.
