In the city of eternal war Some fought with no sword or gun In the city of eternal war oh lord Nineteen and thirty-one They built those big ships of iron and steel But couldn't leave their northern shore You either built those big ships of iron oh lord Or make the cloth that the rich man wore Hammer from the break of day Hammer till the setting sun Hammer from the break of day oh lord Welding iron and rivet gun Now winter time was blowin' in 'Cross the land like a railroad vine Winter time was blowin' in oh lord Central station to the end of the line From slums both sides of the wall Faith so far from their mind From slums both sides of the wall oh lord They formed the picket line October morning bright and clear The bullet and the rock collide October morning bright and clear oh lord Fought together men side by side Now these men could move the mountains The uprising had begun These men could move the mountains oh lord So-called Board of Guardians 6am smoke rises in the sky A new dawn a new day Blood will be wiped from the streets oh lord New ships on a new slipway
