One Common Voice
Rise of the Working Class Anthem
Lyrics
Stole the name from the working class
Referring to the appropriation of the working class identity.
Turned us into working brass

Expressing the strenuous and exhausting nature of daily labor.
Take the long walk through the factory gates
Describing the symbolic journey through the entrance of industrial work.
As a nation is born a city is laid
Highlighting the simultaneous birth of a nation and the establishment of a city.
A power generates for political gain
Suggesting the creation of political power from industrial activities.
The rich man makes his way to capital goal
Depicting the wealthy individual's pursuit of financial success.

Some say your cards are all dealt in advance
Addressing the belief that life's outcomes are predetermined.
Some say you're never ever given a chance
Expressing the perception that some individuals are denied opportunities.
Till the day you die hope purities help
Advocating for the persistence of hope and purity until death.
When the morning bell rings you're on the way to hell
Describing a bleak fate, possibly related to the hardships of work.
Borders are the same between our kind and theirs
