Lyrics
Soldiers, don't give yourselves to brutes
Soldiers, resist submitting to oppressive leaders
Men who despise you, enslave you, who regiment your lives
Refuse those who oppress and control you, dictating your existence
Tell you what to do, what to think, or what to feel
Reject being told how to act, think, or feel by others
Don't give yourselves to these unnatural men
Avoid surrendering to dehumanizing individuals
Machine men, with machine minds and machine hearts
Oppose those with cold, mechanical minds and hearts
You are not machines, you are men
Affirm your humanity, asserting that you are not mere machines
Don't fight for slavery, fight for liberty
Don't engage in a struggle for slavery; fight for freedom
Fight
Emphasize the call to action, urging people to fight
Let us all unite
Repeated emphasis on the call to unite and fight for freedom
Fight
-Fight
-Fight
-Fight
-Fight
-Fight
-Fight
-Fight
-To those who can hear me I say
Addressing those who can comprehend the message
Do not despair
Encouragement not to lose hope
The hate of men will pass
Belief that the hatred among men is temporary
And dictators die
Confidence that dictators will eventually perish
And the power they took from the people
Assurance that the power taken from the people will be restored
Will return to the people
Expressing the potential for positive change
Soldiers, don't give yourselves to brutes
Reiteration of the warning against submission to oppressive forces
Men who despise you, enslave you, who regiment your lives
-Tell you what to do, what to think, or what to feel
-Don't give yourselves to these unnatural men
-Machine men, with machine minds and machine hearts
-You are not machines, you are men
-Don't fight for slavery, fight for liberty
-Dictators free themselves, but they enslave the people
Dictators may free themselves but enslave the people
Now let us fight to fulfill that promise
Advocacy to fight for the fulfillment of promises
You, the people, have the power
Empowerment of the people to create a free and beautiful life
The power to create machines, the power to create happiness
-You, the people, have the power
-To make this life free and beautiful
-To make this life a wonderful adventure
-Let us use that power
Encouragement to use collective power
Let us all unite
Reinforcement of the call to unite for a new, enlightened world
Now let us fight for a new world
-To go away with national barriers
-To go away with greed, with hate and intolerance
-Let us fight for a world of reason
-A world where science and progress will lead to all men's happiness
-Soldiers, in the name of democracy
Address to soldiers, urging them to unite for democracy
Let us all unite
Repetition of the call to unite
Unite
-Let us all unite
-Let us all unite
-Let us all unite
-Let us all unite
-Let us all unite
Address to those who understand the message
To those who can hear me I say
Encouragement not to lose hope (repeated)
Do not despair
Belief that the hatred among men is temporary (repeated)
The hate of men will pass
Confidence that dictators will eventually perish (repeated)
And dictators die
Assurance that the power taken from the people will be restored (repeated)
And the power they took from the people
Repetition of the idea that power will return to the people
Will return to the people
-Will return to the people
-Will return to the people
-Will return to the people
-Will return to the people
-Will return to the people
-Let us all unite
Final call to unite
