What Are We Waiting On? Lyrics


There's a great and a bloody fight 'round this whole world tonight
And the battle, the bombs and shrapnel reign
Hitler told the world around he would tear our union down
But our union's gonna break them slavery chainsOur union's gonna break them slavery chains
I walked up on a mountain in the middle of the sky
Could see every farm and every town
I could see all the people in this whole wide worldThat's the union that'll tear old Hitler down
That's the union that'll tear the fascists down
When I think of the men and the ships going down
While the Russians fight on across the dawnThere's London in ruins and Paris in chains
Good people, what are we waiting on?
Good people, what are we waiting on?
Yes, I thank the Soviets and the mighty Chinese vetsAllies the whole wide world around
To the battling British, thanks, you can have ten million Yanks
If it takes 'em to tear the fascists down, down, down
If it takes 'em to tear the fascists downBut when I think of the ships and the men going down
While the Russians fight on across the dawn
There's London in ruins and Paris in chains

Good people, what are we waiting on?
Good people, what are we waiting on?So I thank the Soviets and the mighty Chinese vets
Allies the whole wide world around
To the battling British, thanks, you can have ten million Yanks
If it takes 'em to tear the fascists down, down, down
If it takes 'em to tear the fascists down

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Woodrow Wilson "Woody" Guthrie (July 14, 1912–October 3, 1967) was an American songwriter and folk musician. Guthrie's musical legacy consists of hundreds of songs, ballads and improvised works covering topics from political themes to traditional songs to children's songs. Guthrie performed continually throughout his life with his guitar frequently displaying the slogan "This Machine Kills Fascists". Guthrie is perhaps best known for his song "This Land Is Your Land", which is regularly sung in American schools. Many of his recorded songs are archived in the Library of Congress.
