about

A unity anthem for our times.

Fight for what makes us different, but never forget what makes us the same.

lyrics

These are my people
We're red, green and blue
We don't fit in boxes like you want us to
These are my people
We're black, brown and white
We dance and we laugh and we love and we fight
These are my people
They're all good by me
From tenth generation to new refugee
These are my people
When all comes to pass
We are many colours but one Working Class

These are my people
We're all just like you
Christian, Muslim, Sikh, Hindu and Jew
These are my people
Let harmony ring
From the 10,000 ways we can say the same thing
These are my people
Our tribes and our clans
We're lesbian, gay, straight, we're bi and we're trans
These are my people When all comes to pass
We are many voices but one Working Class

These are my people
We're old and we're young
Our stories untold and our deeds are unsung
These are my people
Our lives intertwine
My struggles are theirs and their struggles are mine
These are my people
We don't reason why
In peacetime we're poor and in wartime we die
These are my people
When all comes to pass
We're your cannon fodder we're one Working Class

These are my people
The ones you attack
You've kicked us so long now we need to kick back
These are my people
You can't keep us down
We all spit tomorrow and you bastards drown

These are my people
