Verse
G Bm
When they give you gun and tell you war has begun

And send you out to do some murder

Don't fight on their wars defy all their bourgeois laws
C D G
Class brothers must not shoot one another
[Chorus]

In imperialist wars workers give their lives
C G
The ruling class makes no sacrifice
C
We have no choice if we want to live in peace
G C D G
Don't die for them but bring them to their knees
[Verse 2]
G Bm
Before the first world war, labour leaders hotly swore
C D
That by the working class they'd stand
G Bm
But when the capitalist called, on their well-worn knees they crawled
C D G
To fight for their glorious homeland
G Bm
When the spectre of world war comes knocking at the door
C D
Class traitors start to howl
G Bm
But we don't have to fear, it means the time is getting near
C D G
When the working class shall rule
[Chorus]

In imperialist wars workers give their lives
C G
The ruling class makes no sacrifice

We have no choice if we want to live in peace

[Verse 3]
G Bm
Some say the British empire has finally expired
C D
And its rulers lost all life
G Bm
But if that's so we would like to know why in many lands across the globe
C D G
they still wield their butchers knife
G Bm
In lands across the sea they're now fighting to be free
C D
Their demand is to rule themselves
G Bm
We've got a common cause we must support them in their wars
C D G
By fighting to free ourselves
[Chorus]
G
In imperialist wars workers give their lives
C G
The ruling class makes no sacrifice
C
We have no choice if we want to live in peace
G C D G
Don't die for them but bring them to their knees
