Aside from making my own music, I really enjoy creating these lyrics videos for various historical/political songs. I stopped this activity after I started publishing my own music, but I really want to keep this old hobby of mine going.

"The Lords of Labour" is an English communist song written by the admirable Cornelius Cardew (1936 - 1981) - an experimental music composer and a member of the Communist Party of England

Lyrics:

The lords of labour they plot together
Their bankrupt schemes to keep us down.
Their message to the working class
Is to cringe before the rich man's frown.

They say that it's in the whole country's interest
To tighten our belts and make no demands.
But they speak for the class that exploits us and rules us
And we must get them off our hands.

Our labour power is all we have
We must sell it at the rich man's price
This system is called wage slavery
But democracy sounds a bit more polite.

They say that if our wage increases
That prices will rise to compensate
But the only ones who receive compensation
Are capitalist vampires who suck out our life.

Oppose all attempts to make the working class pay for the capitalist crisis.
Oppose all attempts to make the working class pay for the capitalist crisis.

The capitalists fight with one another
To corner the market and divide up the world
Their quest for maximum profit
Is the cause of war and puts us on the dole.

Their greed leads them into a crisis
Which they try to resolve with a more fascist state
Our struggle's against the whole capitalist system
So strike at the fascists as well as the cuts.

Oppose all attempts to make the working class pay for the capitalist crisis.
Oppose all attempts to make the working class pay for the capitalist crisis.
