collective will

the fear of the Robber Barons

The fear of the Robber Barons is the worker’s collective will.
It’s an idea of the people they are constantly trying to kill.
One by one they chip away at the freedoms we know.
Until one day freedom becomes just a show.

The fear of the Robber Barons is the worker’s collective will.
It’s a message of unity that makes them go shrill.
One by one they rip at rights we know.
Until onto that train we do go.

The fear of the Robber Barons is the worker’s collective will.
It’s a clarity of mind that brings such a thrill.
One by one becoming a chorus not for show.
Gathering strength in ourselves while we learn and grow.

The fear of the Robber Barons is the worker’s collective will.
It’s power we have and our right to fulfill.
Together as one they can never overthrow.
Collective our will delivers the final blow.
