Black and white workers, side by side with each other
But the bosses tell us lies that make us hate our brothers
If they keep us separated they'll never lose control
Give enough to have hope not enough to leave the hole
Black and white workers have more in common with each other
Than they do with the rich no matter with their color
To the bosses and their agents who keep us apart
We shall overcome and
We're gonna start with a ... REVOLUTION
From the barrios in Southern Cal
To the tenements in the Bronx
From the abandoned steel towns in Ohio
To all those foreclosed farms
We must unite and see the boss is the enemy
Revolution will set us free
We gotta stop takin' shit and start to take a stand
We'll let the bosses know we see right through their plan
I don't give a shit if you're Latino, Black or White
Stop the exploitation and let's start to fight and
Have a ... REVOLUTION
