«Eihheitsfrontlied» - German Worker's Movement Song

The «Einheitsfrontlied» was a song written by Bertolt Brecht and composed by Hanns Eisler during Nazi rule in Germany. It called for a united front of Social Democrats and Communists against the National Socialists. Ernst Busch performed the best-known interpretation. English lyrics: (This is a literal translation, so it may not always match the original lyrics) And because a person is a person, he'll need something to eat, please! He gets tired of prattle for it does not give him food. So left, two, three! So left, two, three! To where your place is, comrade! Join up with the workers' United Front, for you are a worker too! And because a person is a person, he will need clothes and shoes! Prattle will not keep him warm, and neither will the drums [of war]. So left, two, three! So left, two, three! To where your place is, comrade! Join up with the workers' United Front, for you are a worker too! And because a person is a person, he doesn't need a boot to the face! He wants no slaves under him, and no masters above! So left, two, three! So left, two, three! To where your place is, comrade! Join up with the workers' United Front, for you are a worker too! And because a prole is a prole, no one else will free him. The liberation of the working class can only be the job of workers. So left, two, three! So left, two, three! To where your place is, comrade! Join up with the workers' United Front, for you are a worker too!
