I’m gonna tell you ‘bout a little thing,
How America helps “freedom” ring,
They say the wars for liberty,
But all I see is HEGE-MON-Y!!

Fightin’ for American interests,
Our warriors all blessed,
They’re just a modern schutzstaffel!
Empire from the barrel of their rifles!

[Chorus]
So fight back! (Rise Up!)
Beat your ploughshares,
Into swords! (Rise Up!)
Cut down the capitalist horde!
Workers of the world unite!
We won’t give up, (Rise Up!)
Without a fight!

Subjugation is the talk of the day,
Battleships clogging up every bay,
Sweatshops, and work camps,
Does America really expect a “thanks!”?

A thanks for killing my son,
No, truly, my heart is won,
Now that my home is underground!
At least your moneys safe and sound!

[Chorus]
So fight back! (Rise Up!)
Beat your ploughshares,
Into swords! (Rise Up!)
Cut down the capitalist horde!
Workers of the world unite!
We won’t give up, (Rise Up!)
Without a fight!

So don’t just fucking fall for it,
Don’t sift in the system’s shit…
Rise up! Rise up! Rise up, today!
Refuse to follow the capitalist way!

No more empire! No more slavery!
No more corporate war, don’t you see:

America has never fought,
In its “self-defense,” for freedom.
All the victims ever got,
Was 30 dollars a week,
For 15 hours a day,
“A fair day’s work,
A fair day’s pay.”
Outside of America,
It doesn’t work that way,
Abolish wage today!
Burn down Washington, D.C.!

[Chorus]
So fight back! (Rise Up!)
Beat your ploughshares,
Into swords! (Rise Up!)
Cut down the capitalist horde!
Workers of the world unite!
We won’t give up, (Rise Up!)
Without a fight!
