A song to mark the 100th anniversary of the Great October Socialist Revolution. (Lyrics below) Verse 1 Poor people, unemployed, working class Peasantry, the have nots, now's our chance We gonna make a run straight to the Winter Palace we mean these Tsarist cronies all kinds of malace we been the oppressed for so fucking long but in unity we're overwhelmingly strong we ain't gonna overthrow 'em to replace these evil people with another evil kind of face, naw! you see how we do, building Soviets that means workers' councils, powers we'll be holding it don't be afraid when we call for dictatorship not the bourgeoisie, it's for the proletariat that means the people in control of the government that means the dissolution of this previous regime that wants to call itself 'democrat' but we know the landowners still run that Hook Party like it's 1917, no -- Fight like it's 1917 Struggle like it's 1917, for the future you know what I mean? Verse 2 The time is ripe for the coming insurrection It's gotta be the 7th now that the weapons have been delivered to the Petrograd Soviet we'll overthrow this Provisional Government the people wanting peace, land and some bread Kerensky offered broken promises instead Lenin and the Bolsheviks plotting the end of the exploiters and war, saying no defence of Russia's so-called interests in conflict workers of the world got no stake in bloodshed oppressed nationalities had no place in the Russian Empire, now they'll own their fate they'll build their culture, rally in their language we'll put an end to the Great Russian chauvinists we'll put an end to the remnants of the past first of all we'll need the power in the people's hands
