(início)
G Today in a village of famine, D A feast was had by all So stop all the presses C D and listen for the riots and brawls G But no rifles were aimed at comrades, C Only at our fascist lords D There were ghosts of Winstanley’s farmers C When they were wielding D Ploughs not swords
Chorus
G C What reason have they to dance And to sing? D Their pockets are all empty, C D They've no stewards, queens or kings G No bosses, laws or order C Marching armies must we bring D To give them all a reason C Now to dance D And to sing!
Verse 2
G Hush scholar of history, D Do not write a word D We'll make repetition out of precedents, C D See that this dream goes deferred G Tell of insatiable greed within us C And how the rebellion didn't work D So in a hundred years it's forgotten C D Shift the tale and shift the worth
Chorus
G C What reason have they to dance and to sing? D Their pockets are all empty, C D They've no stewards, queens or kings G No bosses, laws or order C Marching armies must we bring D To give them all a reason C D Now to dance and to sing!

Verse 3
G Where the women took up arms C To kill the fascists to protect life D Where the food was freed at last C D For all the people's fork and knife
Chorus
G C 'Tis the reason they have to dance and to sing D Their pockets are all empty, C D They've no stewards, queens or kings G No bosses, laws or order, C D Everyone has everything D Each day gives them a reason now C D C B A G To dance and to sing!
