1. Come all you People of Pittsburgh town,
You workers, you heroes of history.
We’ll tear the walls of injustice down,
And save our city from barbary.
You and I must fight, lest we die of misery,
We can fight, we can die for Liberty.

2. Souls of toil and danger
Will you serve that stranger
And bow down to Cap-it-al?
Souls of shame and sorrow,
Will you cheer tomorrow
For the fall of Cap-it-al?
Onward! Onward! Swords against the Foe
Forward! Forward,
the people’s banners flow.
Light of Truth around us,
Break the chain that bounds us,
And to Hell with Cap-it-al!

Onward! Onward! A New World is at Hand
Forward! Forward,
we’ll build destiny’s land.
Light of Truth around us,
Break the chain that bounds us,
And to Hell with Cap-it-al!
