Tear The Fascists Down

from High and Lonesome Sounds by Theo

lyrics

[Woodie Guthrie on how unity beats tyranny]

There's a great and a bloody fight 'round this whole world tonight
And the battle, the bombs and shrapnel reign
Hitler told the world around he would tear our union down
But our union's gonna break them slavery chains
Our union's gonna break them slavery chains
I walked up on a mountain in the middle of the sky
I could see every cloud and every town
I could see all the people in this whole wide world
That's the union that tore old Hitler down
That's the union that'll tear these fascists down

When I think of the men and the ships going down
While the Russians fight on across the Don
There's London in ruins and Paris in chains
Good people, what are we waiting on?
Good people, what are we waiting on?
Yes I thank the Soviets and the mighty Chinese vets
Allies the whole wide world around
To the battling British, thanks, you can have ten million Yanks
If it takes 'em to tear the fascists down, down, down
If it takes 'em to tear the fascists down
