This song presents the revolutionary socialist perspective

All my fellow workers and
All you men of letters and
All you normal people who won’t
Let the next war happen

If we wanted to, we could take over

Yeah I went and said it and
Yeah, I fucking mean it and
Yes, to make it work we’ll have to
Do more than believe but

If we wanted to, we could take over

After all it’s only a
Couple thousand parties
Whose financial interests are the
Whole damned casus belli

If we wanted to, we could get up on our feet

And all say down with them, down with them
If we all said down with them
We could take over

The world from warring national
Groups of super-rich in the
Fight for markets, resources and
Just who gets the killings

If we wanted to, we could rise up and

Confiscate control of the wealth and
Take a hold of the reigns of power over
How we spend that fucking money

If we wanted to, we could get up on our feet

And all say down with them, down with them
If we all said down with them, down with them
If we all said down with them
We could take over
