[Intro]
G Bm C Am D
[Verse 1]
G D
The lords of labour they plot together
Em Bm
Their bankrupt schemes to keep us down.
C G
Their message to the working class
D G D
Is to cringe before the rich man's frown.
G D
They say that it's in the whole country's interest
Em Bm
To tighten our belts and make no demands.
C D G
But they speak for the class that exploits us and rules us
Am D
And we must get them off our hands.
[Verse 2]
G D
Our labour power is all we have
Em Bm
We must sell it at the rich man's price
C G
This system is called wage slavery
D G D
But democracy sounds a bit more polite.
G D
They say that if our wage increases
Em Bm
That prices will rise to compensate
C D G
But the only ones who receive compensation
Am D
Are capitalist vampire who suck out our life.
[Chorus]
G Bm C D
Oppose all attempts to make the working class pay for the capitalist crisis.
G Bm C Am Am7 D
Oppose all attempts to make the working class pay for the capitalist crisis.
[Verse 3]
G D
The capitalists fight with one another
Em Bm
To corner the market and divide up the world
C G
Their quest for maximum profit
D G D
Is the cause of war and puts us on the dole.
G D
Their greed leads them into a crisis
Em Bm
Which they try to resolve with a more fascist state
C D C
Our struggle's against the whole capitalist system
Am D
So strike at the fascists as well as the cuts.
[Chorus]
G Bm C D
Oppose all attempts to make the working class pay for the capitalist crisis.
G Bm C Am Am7 D
Oppose all attempts to make the working class pay for the capitalist crisis.
