no one's gonna hold them down today they're ready to fight for their rights
on may 3rd, 1888 chicago burned with the fire they lit the workers were on strike
cause money's tight the pigs were out and looking for a fight they opened fire
into the crowd a worker was hit and he went down no one's gonna hold them down
no! they're gonna burn this fuckin' town august spies denounced capitalism but
he urged no violence he was addressing a crowd of workers the pigs ordered him
silenced a bomb was thrown and the sirens wailed a pig laid dead and a were
jailed that day the system failed you know it never fails if you think you can
crush these ideas that are gaining ground more each day if death is the penalty
for proclaiming truth then i'll proudly and defiantly pay four men were sentenced
to death to set an example to all the rest who would dare to stand up and protest
the injustices we all detest
