 Come and listen to my song, story of a nation wronged. Idle men in a roving band strike the tools from a miner's hand. Flag of blue, white and red, a man's got a right to earn his bread. Flag of blue, white and red, a man's got a right to earn his bread. Children lying in the bed crying, Daddy, please bring home some bread. Picket line says you can't go through, we'll beat you up if you try to.
