Verse
F
Today in a village of famine,
C
G feast was had by all
So stop all the presses
A# C
and listen for the riots and brawls
F
But no rifles were aimed at comrades,
A#
Only at our fascist lords
C
There were ghosts of
Winstanley’s farmers
A#
When they were wielding
C
Ploughs not swords
[Chorus]
F A#
What reason have they to dance
And to sing?
C
Their pockets are all empty,
A# C
They've no stewards, queens or kings
F
No bosses, laws or order
A#
Marching armies must we bring
C
To give them all a reason
A#
Now to dance
C
And to sing!
[Verse 2]
F
Hush scholar of history,
C
Do not write a word
C
We'll make repetition out of precedents,
A# C
See that this dream goes deferred
F
Tell of insatiable greed within us
A#
And how the rebellion didn't work
C
So in a hundred years it's forgotten
A# C
Shift the tale and shift the worth
[Chorus]
F A#
What reason have they to dance and to sing?
C
Their pockets are all empty,
A# C
They've no stewards, queens or kings
F
No bosses, laws or order
A#
Marching armies must we bring
C
To give them all a reason
A# C
Now to dance and to sing!
[Instrumental]
C A# A G F
???
[Verse 3]
F
Where the women took up arms
A#
To kill the fascists to protect life
C
Where the food was freed at last
A# C
For all the people's fork and knife
[Chorus]
F A#
'Tis the reason they have to dance and to sing
C
Their pockets are all empty,
A# C
They've no stewards, queens or kings
F
No bosses, laws or order,
A# C
Everyone has everything
C
Each day gives them a reason now
A# C A# A G F
To dance and to sing!
