Billy Bragg The Internationale

From the Pete Seeger 90th Birthday Concert (Clearwater Concert) at Madison Square Garden, 5/3/09. Billy Bragg sings the verse he wrote for the Internationale. Stand up, all victims of oppression For the tyrants fear your might Don’t cling so hard to your possessions For you have nothing, if you have no rights Let racist ignorance be ended For respect makes the empires fall Freedom is merely privilege extended Unless enjoyed by one and all So come brothers and sisters For the struggle carries on The internationale Unites the world in song So comrades come rally For this is the time and place The international ideal Unites the human race
