Workers of the world unite -
You have nothing to lose but your chains
You can lose them if you like tonight
But you gotta strive, you gotta strive with all your might and main

The history of our entire society
Is the history of the struggle with the bourgeoisie
From now on we must all strive resolutely
To bring about the overthrow of the bourgeoisie

I address myself to the doomed bourgeoisie
The bourgeoisie creates a world in its own image
The bourgeoisie controls the means of production
The bourgeoisie leaves nothing but naked self-interest
The bourgeoisie is just a jive turkey

Our ends can only be attained by the forcible
Overthrow of existing conditions
Let the ruling classes tremble at the communist revolution
We distain to conceal our views and our aims
The proletariat has nothing to lose but its chains

We got a world to win (etc...)

Workers of the world unite -
You have nothing to lose but your chains
You can lose them if you like tonight
But you gotta strive, you gotta strive with all your might and main
