The World Will Know
Pulitzer and Hearst They think we're nothin' Are we nothin'?
No!
Pulitzer and Hearst They think they got us Do they got us?
No!
Even though we ain't got hats or badges We're a union just by sayin'so And 'The World' will know! What's it gonna take to stop the wagons? Are we ready?
Yeah!
What's it gonna take to stop the scabbers? Can we do it?
Yeah!
We'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
See the world don't know What they gonna pay Stead of hawkin' headlines
We'll be makin' 'em today
And our ranks will grow And we'll kick their rear
And 'The World' will know That we been here
When the circulation bell starts ringin' Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
Will we hear it? No!
What if the Delanceys come out swingin' Will we hear it?
No! When you got a hundred voices singin' Who can hear a lousy whistle blow? And 'The World' will know That this ain't no game That we got a ton of rotten fruit and perfect aim So they gave their word Well it ain't worth beans Now they're gonna see What 'stop the presses' really means And the old will weep And go back to sleep And we got no choice but to see it through
And we've found our boys
And I lost my shoe And 'The World' will Yeah Pulitzer may own 'The World' but he don't own us! Pulitzer may own 'The World' but he don't own us! Pulitzer may crack the whip but he won't whip us! Pulitzer may crack the whip but he won't whip us! And 'The World' will know We been keepin' score Either they gives us our rights or we gives them a war We been down to low And we payed our dues And the things we do today will be tomorrow's news When the dye is cast And the torches passed And the roar will rise And the streets will grow And our ranks will grow and grow and grow and so 'The World' will feel the fire And finally know!
