“When I was poor and helpless...”
(continued from previous page)Of the toilers of our land,
Then I cry with all my might
Such things are not God made.
Thieves have no rights of property,
Lets call a spade, a spade.
IV
How long shall we like burdened beasts
Contented beat the whip
While titled idlers sup our feasts
And mock with scornful lip.
How long till we have courage
And cease to be afraid
And learn to hold our heads like men
And call a spade, a spade.- Transcription guide »You are not logged in, but you are welcome to contribute a transcription anonymously.
