Utah Phillips - Bread And Roses - Live From Victoria, Courtenay, And Vancouver, British Columbia / February, 1981 lyrics

Artist: Utah Phillips

album: We Have Fed You All A Thousand Years (Live From Victoria, Courtenay, And Vancouver, British Columbia / February, 1981)


As we come marching, marching in the beauty of the day
A million darkened kitchens, a thousand mill lofts grey
Are brightened by the beauty a sudden sun discloses
And the people hear us singing bread and roses, bread and roses
As we come marching, marching we battle too for men
For they are women's children, we'll mother them again
Our lives shall not be sweated from birth until life closes
Hearts can starve as well as bodies, give us bread but give us roses
As we come marching, marching a hundred million dead
Go crying through our singing their ancient cry for bread
Small art and love and beauty their drudging spirits knew
Yes it's bread we fight for but we fight for roses too
As we come marching, marching we're standing proud and tall
The rising of the women is the rising of us all
No more the drudge and idler ten that toil where one reposes
But a sharing of life's glories
Bread and roses, bread and roses, bread and roses
