Chartist Anthem

Chumbawamba

A hundred years, a thousand years, we're marching on the road 
The going isn't easy yet, we've got a heavy load, oh we've got a heavy load 
The way is blind with blood and sweat, and death sings in our ears 
But time is marching on our side, we will defeat the years, oh we will defeat the years 
We men of bone of shrunken shank, our only treasure doth, 
Women who carry at their breast heirs to the hungry earth, oh heirs to the hungry earth 
Speak with one voice, we march, we rest, and march again upon the years 
Sons of our sons are listening to hear the Chartist cheers 
Oh, to hear the Chartists cheers
