Verse
F A# C
Come listen young comrades, a hist'ry we'll tell
Dm F A# F
Of the glorious struggle to build CPC (ML)
F A# C
Oh it is the story of how a class continues
Dm F A# F
To fight battle after battle to smash the old and build the new
[Chorus]
C A# F
And we won another battle, see the enemy fall
C A# F
But don't it seem paltry and don't it seem small
F A# C
Still the enemy besets us and blocks our advance
Dm F A# F
But the times cry out, "Here's the rose, now dance!"
[Verse 2]
F A# C
In the early 60's against increasing exploitation
Dm F A# F
The people rose up to change the situation

Dm F A# F
G new quality in small quantity from the movement emerged.
[Chorus]

And we won another battle, see the enemy fall
C A# F
But don't it seem paltry and don't it seem small
F A# C
Still the enemy besets us and blocks our advance
Dm F A# F
But the times cry out, "Here's the rose, now dance!"
[Verse 3]
F A# C
They said "Don't turn off the people by making a scene,
Dm F A# F

F A# C
But we boldly shouted, "Down with imperialism,
Dm F A# F
Down with the lackeysm, down with revisionism!"
[Chorus]
C A# F
And we won another battle, see the enemy fall
C A# F
But don't it seem paltry and don't it seem small
F A# C
Still the enemy besets us and blocks our advance
Dm F A# F
But the times cry out, "Here's the rose, now dance!"
[Verse 4]
F A# C
There were still lots of questions, but we never shied
Dm F A# F
For we had Marxism-Leninism, an invincible guide
F A# C
The trend of unity of Marxist-Leninists irresistably spread
Dm F A# F
And defending Marxism we marched ahead.
[Chorus]

And we won another battle, see the enemy fall
C A# F
But don't it seem paltry and don't it seem small

[Verse 5]
F A# C
Liberal leaders housed Marxists in petit-bourgeois plans
Dm F A# F
They all did their best to upset our plans
F A# C
But they could not stop us, nor could the state attacks
Dm F A# F
Nor the jailing of comrades who dared to fight back.
[Chorus]
C A# F
And we won another battle, see the enemy fall
C A# F
But don't it seem paltry and don't it seem small
F A# C
Still the enemy besets us and blocks our advance
Dm F A# F
But the times cry out, "Here's the rose, now dance!"
[Verse 6]
F A# C
Driven into a frenzy, the state sent agent provocateurs
Dm F A# F
Into our ranks thinking to stop us for sure
F A# C
But their hope for easy vic'try was just a pipe dream
Dm F A# F
As we smashed the opportunists and exposed their schemes.
[Chorus]
C A# F
And we won another battle, see the enemy fall
C A# F
But don't it seem paltry and don't it seem small
F A# C
Still the enemy besets us and blocks our advance
Dm F A# F
But the times cry out, "Here's the rose, now dance!"
[Verse 7]
F A# C
The so-called Marxist-Leninists demanded dogma that's pure
Dm F A# F
But all they could show us was a gross caricature
F A# C
"Safeguard our independence," the opportunists did say,
Dm F A# F
But the working class sent it back, "Make the rich pay!"
[Chorus]
C A# F
And we won another battle, see the enemy fall
C A# F
But don't it seem paltry and don't it seem small
F A# C
Still the enemy besets us and blocks our advance
Dm F A# F
But the times cry out, "Here's the rose, now dance!"
[Verse 8]
F A# C
They unfurled their yellow banner called 'Mao Tse-Tung Thought',
Dm F A# F

Whenever loyal to Marxism we stood our ground
Dm F A# F
The three plenum of our Party brought Mao Tse-Tung Thought down.
[Chorus]
C A# F
And we won another battle, see the enemy fall
C A# F
But don't it seem paltry and don't it seem small
F A# C
Still the enemy besets us and blocks our advance
Dm F A# F
But the times cry out, "Here's the rose, now dance!"
[Verse 9]
F A# C
The road has been long but we've learned from our class
Dm F A# F
The proletarian revolution is a practical task
F A# C
Here is our banner, and here is our task:
Dm F A# F
Defend the Marxist-Leninist Party as the vanguard of the class!
[Chorus]
C A# F
And we won another battle, see the enemy fall
C A# F
But don't it seem paltry and don't it seem small
F A# C
Still the enemy besets us and blocks our advance
Dm F A# F
But the times cry out, "Here's the rose, now dance!"
