lyrics

When oppression strikes, and injustice prevails
There's no place for apathy and self righteousness
We should be up in arms to overthrow the society's ills
Free ourselves from foreign dominance
Dismantle landlordism and bureaucratic greed

If you remember the struggle
If you remember the streets
Don't be a spectator
You should be a part of it

Unite! Take the streets!
Fight oppression and injustice!
Act now, take the streets, confront state violence
Destroy the fascist pigs!

Widespread poverty and the poor dies from hunger
The nation's riches sucked down by capitalist plunderers
How can you still be calm while the people suffer?
Let's take down this system and build a new society

If you believe in the struggle
If you believe in the streets
Don't be a bystander
You should be a part of it

Unite! Take the streets!
Fight oppression and injustice!
Act now, take the streets, confront state violence
Destroy the fascist pigs!

Take action if you mean what you preach
Dare to struggle, dare to win
Take the streets!
