1st of May

Now comes the 1st of May
Worldwide laborers' day

Rise jobless workers cry
Facts, no one can deny

War ... attack occupation
More double exploitation
Full planned automation
None stop aggravation

Support workers’ rights
Life is getting so tight
Support workers’ rights
Fades future out of sight

With the year Two Thousand
War refugees no end
Began the space age
No fall in the rage

In Two Thousand and One
Planned tower crash for slavering Afghan

Support workers’ rights
Life is getting so tight
Support workers’ rights
Fades future out of sight

In Two Thousand and Two
US-warships running full armed with crew

Year Two Thousand and Three
Ha Ha ... Iraq has been set free

Support workers’ rights
Life is getting so tight
Support workers’ rights
Fades future out of sight

Year Two Thousand and Four
Poverty and crime getting more and more

Comes Two Thousand and Five
Real fight starts just to be alive

War ... attack occupation
More double exploitation
Full planned automation
None stop aggravation

Now rise the month of May
We stand for what we say

Support workers’ rights
Life is getting so tight
Support workers’ rights
Fades future out of sight

We are no numbers, but women and men
We want living for all then

Moving factories land to land
We support the rights hand in hand

Worldwide laborers’ maturity
Is ... standing in left unity

Support workers’ rights
Life is getting so tight
Support workers’ rights
Fades future out of sight
