The time has come for action Leave your satisfaction Can’t you hear St. George’s tune St. George’s tune is calling you home Freedom was your mother Fight for one another Leave your factory leave your forge And dance to the new St. George. Don’t believe pretenders Who say they would defend us While they flash their teeth and wave The other hand is being paid They choke the air and bleed us These vulgar men who lead us Leave your factory leave your forge And dance to the new St. George. When fish and fowl are ailing Our way of life is failing Where were all your empty words No empty words can save us now They rob, they lie, they’re greedy Who plunder from the needy Leave your factory leave your forge And dance to the new St. George.
