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