lyrics

We all can feel the tension increase day after day. Tired of the law transgressions leading to the graves. All we want is to get back our dignity. We have enough of all the lies. On Valentine's Day Nineteen Fourty-Nine (1949), the syndicate voted for "a violent announcement that a new era had begun". We got out on the streets to chant these four words that started a war. Man abuses man. Money hungry, he steals in honest men's hands. We won't stand still and see, we will stand tall in unity. The Prime Minister and his hostility to all form of socialism declared the miner's strike illegal and sent his troops to enforce the corporate/corrupted power. This intimidation must stop! We won't fear the exile, we won't be intimidated by the heavily armed police force. "Tear gas and fired warning shots in the air" will not stop us, it's not enough... ON WITH THE STRIKE! "One thing that Duplessis could not stand was change". Oppression, repression, police brutality. The National Union ordered the bloody Thursday. Strikebreakers, mass arrests, raid on churches.
