What Are We Waiting On? [Tear The Fascists Down] lyrics

There's a great and a bloody fight 'round this whole world tonight

And the battle, the bombs and shrapnel reign

Hitler told the world around he would tear our union down

But our union's gonna break them slavery chains

Our union's gonna break them slavery chains

I walked up on a mountain in the middle of the sky

Could see every farm and every town

I could see all the people in this whole wide world

That's the union that'll tear old Hitler down

That's the union that'll tear the fascists down

When I think of the men and the ships going down

While the Russians fight on across the Don

There's London in ruins and Paris in chains

Good people, what are we waiting on?

Good people, what are we waiting on?

Yes, I thank the Soviets and the mighty Chinese vets

Allies the whole wide world around

To the battling British, thanks, you can have ten million Yanks

If it takes 'em to tear the fascists down, down, down

If it takes 'em to tear the fascists down

But when I think of the ships and the men going down

While the Russians fight on across the Don

There's London in ruins and Paris in chains

Good people, what are we waiting on?

Good people, what are we waiting on?

So I thank the Soviets and the mighty Chinese vets

Allies the whole wide world around

To the battling British, thanks, you can have ten million Yanks

If it takes 'em to tear the fascists down, down, down

If it takes 'em to tear the fascists down
