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