pulitzer and hearst
they think they got us

Even though we ainand't got hats or badges

and the world will know!
Whatand's it gonna take to stop the wagons?
are we ready?
yeah!
Whatand's it gonna take to stop the scabbers?
can we do it?
yeah!
Weand'll do what we gotta do
until we break the will of mighty bill and joe
And the world will know
and the journal too
mister hearst and pulitzer
have we got news for you
now the world will hear
what we got to say
we been hawkinand' headlines
but weand're makinand' and'em today
and our ranks will grow
And weand'll kick their rear
And the world will know
that we been here
When the circulation bell starts ringinand'
will we hear it?
no!
what if the delanceys come out swinginand'
will we hear it?
no!
when you got a hundred voices singinand'
who can hear a lousy whistle blow?
and the world will know
that this ainand't no game
that we got a ton of rotten fruit and perfect aim
so they gave their word
but it ainand't worth beans
now theyand're gonna see
what andquot;stop the pressesandquot; really means
and the day has come
and the time is now
and the fear is gone
and our name is mud
and the strike is on
and i canand't stand blood
And the world will -
Pulitzer may own the world but he donand't own us!
pulitzer may own the world but he donand't own us!
pulitzer may crack the whip but he wonand't whip us!
Pulitzer may crack the whip but he wonand't whip us!
and the world will know
and the world will learn
and the world will wonder how we made the tables turn
and the world will see
that we had to choose
that the things we do today will be tomorrowand's news
and the old will fall
and the young stand tall
and the time is now
and the winds will blow
and our ranks will grow and grow and grow and so
the world will feel the fire
and finally know!
