1000 YEARS

WE HAVE FED YOU ALL FOR A THOUSAND YEARS

 - by an Unknown Proletariat  (1905)

WE HAVE FED YOU ALL FOR A THOUSAND YEARS

AND YOU HAIL US STILL UNFED

NEVER A DOLLAR OF ALL YOUR WEALTH

MARKS THE WORKERS DEAD

WE HAVE YIELDED OUR BEST

TO GIVE YOU REST

AND YOU LIE ON CRIMSON WOOL

IF THAT BE THE PRICE OF YOUR CURSED WEALTH

GOOD GOD, WE HAVE PAID IN FULL

THERE IS NEVER A MINE BLOWN SKYWARD NOW

THAT WE AREN'T BURIED ALIVE FOR YOU

NEVER A WRECK DRIFT SHOREWARD NOW

WE AREN'T IT'S GHASTLY CREW

GO SUFFER OUR DEAD BY THE FORGES RED

AND THE FACTORIES WHERE WE SPIN

IF THAT BE THE PRICE OF YOUR CURSED WEALTH

GOOD GOD, WE HAVE PAID IT IN

WE HAVE FED YOU ALL FOR A THOUSAND YEARS

FOR THAT WAS OUR DOOM YOU KNOW

FROM THE DAY YOU CHAINED US IN YOUR FIELD

TO A STRIKE OF A WEEK AGO

YOU'VE TAKEN LIVES, OUR CHILDREN AND WIVES

AND CALLED IT YOUR LEGAL SHARE

IF THAT BE THE PRICE OF YOUR CURSED WEALTH

GOOD GOD, WE HAVE BOUGHT IT FAIR

Celebrate May Day

...most people are told what to think, where to go, what to do and how to do it...[W}here do you get your 'information' leads you to reach the conclusions about yourself and the world? Who decides what time you get up everyday? Who decides where you go and what you do when you get there? Who decides how you do it? If you are like the overwhelming majority of people currently resident in this dreamworld, those decisions are not made by you at all; they are imposed by the 'system', the spiders' web of control that dictate its will upon your 'life'.

Your get your 'information' from the mainstream media that sells you the daily falsehoods on which you decide what to think and believe. You have to get up at a certain time because you have to report for work and you can't be late. You go where your bosses tell you to go and you do what they say. If you rebel you get fired and if you don't get paid you can't afford a home or enough to eat... To meet all these perceived needs and responsibilities, you have to spend every day keeping other people happy. In turn, the bosses are also slavishly following the impositions of those who control them and they dare not step out of line either.
