Yeh, this one's for the workers who toil night and day<br>
By hand and by brain to earn your pay<br>
Who for centuries long past for no more than your bread<br>
Have bled for your countries and counted your dead<br>

<br>In the factories and mills, in the shipyards and mines
<br>We've often been told to keep up with the times
<br>For our skills are not needed, they've streamlined the job
<br>And with sliderule and stopwatch our pride they have robbed

<br><i>[Chorus:]</i>
<br>We're the first ones to starve, we're the first ones to die
<br>The first ones in line for that pie-in-the-sky
<br>And we're always the last when the cream is shared out
<br>For the worker is working when the fat cat's about

<br>And when the sky darkens and the prospect is war
<br>Who's given a gun and then pushed to the fore
<br>And expected to die for the land of our birth
<br>Though we've never owned one lousy handful of earth?

<br>[Chorus x3]

<br>All of these things the worker has done
<br>From tilling the fields to carrying the gun
<br>We've been yoked to the plough since time first began
<br>And always expected to carry the can
