A song of encouragement for the GENERAL STRIKE!

“All Hell Can’t Stop Us”, lyrics by Ralph H. Chaplin (from the IWW “Little Red Songbook”)

Now the final battle rages;
Tyrants quake with fear.
Rulers of the New Dark Ages
Know THEIR end is near.

CHORUS
Scorn to take the crumbs they drop us;
All is ours by right!
Onward! All Hell can’t stop us!
Crush the Parasite!

With a world-wide revolution
Bring them to your feet!
They of crime and persecution—
They must work to eat!

Tear the mask of lies asunder;
Let the truth be known;
With a voice of angry thunder,
Rise and claim your own!

Down with Greed and Exploitation;
Tyranny must fall!
Hail to Toil’s Emancipation;
Labor shall be all.
