| United Front Song | United Front Song |
| We're all human so therefore | As man is only human, |
| We must eat before we can think. | He must eat before he can think. |
| Fine words are only empty air | Fine words are only empty air |
| If we have no food or drink. | And not his meat and drink. |
So, Left! Right! Left! Then, Left! Right! Left! | Then, Left! Right! Left! Then, Left! Right! Left! |
| There's a place, Comrade for you, | There's a place, Comrade for you, |
| March with us in the workers' united front; | March with us in the workers' united front; |
| For you are a worker too. | For you are a worker too. |
| We're all human so therefore | As man is only human, |
| We'd rather not be trampled underfoot. | He'd rather not have boots in face. |
| We want no master over us | He wants no slaves at his beck and call, |
| And no slave under our boot. | Nor life by a master's grace. |
So, Left! Right! Left! Then, Left! Right! Left! | Then, Left! Right! Left! Then, Left! Right! Left! |
| There's a place, Comrade for you, | There's a place, Comrade for you, |
| March with us in the workers' united front; | March with us in the workers' united front; |
| For you are a worker too. | For you are a worker too. |
| We're all worker's so therefore | And since a worker's a worker, |
| No class can free us but our own; | No class can free him but his own; |
| "The emancipation of the working- class | "The emancipation of the working-class |
| Is the task of the workers alone". | Is the task of the workers alone". |
So, Left! Right! Left! Then, Left! Right! Left! | Then, Left! Right! Left! Then, Left! Right! Left! |
| There's a place, Comrade for you, | There's a place, Comrade for you, |
| March with us in the workers' united front; | March with us in the workers' united front; |
| For you are a worker too. | For you are a worker too. |
