Lyrics
The people gathered on a cold May night
Huddled in the square under pale lamplight
The cops rushed in to disperse the crowd
An explosion crushed them, guns went loud
Each pair of eyes looked up with pride
As the banners were unfurled
The workers' rage was set ablaze
And the shots heard 'round the world
The shots heard 'round the world
Now it is blood, screamed the headline type
The words were seized with blinding spite
Eight men were found to stand trial
For speaking out against the rich man's clubs
Each pair of eyes looked up with pride
As the banners were unfurled
The workers' rage was set ablaze
And the shots heard 'round the world
The shots heard 'round the world
The crowd was hushed as the thin man spoke
From beneath his omnipresent yoke
"Break the slavery's wand and dread
For bread is freedom and freedom, bread"
Freedom, bread
Each pair of eyes looked up with pride
As the banners were unfurled
The workers' rage was set ablaze
And the shots heard 'round the world
The shots heard 'round the world
Those shots rang 'round the land
Catch a fire if you can
And the cry is across the land
"Do you understand?
Understand, understand
Do you really understand?
Take a stand, take a stand
It's time for us to take a stand"
Each pair of eyes looked up with pride
As the banners were unfurled
The workers' rage was set ablaze
And the shots heard 'round the world
The shots heard 'round the world, pow
