ALL HELL CAN'T STOP US!
(Tune: "Hold the Fort")
(Written by Ralph H. Chaplin, in Leavenworth Penit.")

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, men! 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 like angry thunder;
Rise and claim your own!

Down with Greed and Exploitation;
Tyranny must fall!
Hail to Toils' Emancipation;
Labor shall be all.
