The World Will Know

Pulitzer and Hearst, they think we're nothin'
 Are we nothin'?
 No!
 ♪
 Pulitzer and Hearst, they think they got us
 Do they got us?
 No!
 
 Even though we ain't got hats or badges
 We're a union just by sayin' so
 And the world will know!
 ♪
 What's it gonna take to stop the wagons?
 Are we ready?
 Yeah!
 What's it gonna take to stop the scabbers?
 Can we do it?
 Yeah!
 We'll do what we gotta do until we break the will of mighty Bill and Joe
 And the world will know!
 And the Journal, too!
 Mr. Hearst and Pulitzer, have we got news for you!
 Now the world will hear
 What we got to say
 We been hawkin' headlines but we're makin' 'em today
 And our ranks will grow
 And we'll kick their rear!
 And the world will know that we've been here!
 
 When the circulation bell starts ringin'
 Will we hear it?
 No!
 What if the Delancys come out swingin'
 Will we hear it?!
 No!
 When you got a hundred voices singin'
 Who can hear a lousy whistle blow?
 And the world will know!
 That this ain't no game
 That we got a ton of rotten fruit and perfect aim
 So they gave their word?
 Well it ain't worth beans!
 Now they're gonna see what "Stop the presses" really means
 And the day has come
 And the time is now
 And the fear is gone
 And our name is mud
 And the strike is on
 And I can't stand blood
 And the world will
 Pulitzer may own the world, but he don't own us
 Pulitzer may own the world, but he don't own us!
 Pulitzer may crack the whip, but he won't whip us
 Pulitzer may crack the whip, but he won't whip us!
 And the world will know
 And the world will learn
 And the world will wonder how we made the tables turn
 And the world will see
 That we had to choose
 That the things we do today will be tomorrow's news
 And the old will fall
 And the young stand tall
 And the time is now
 And the winds will blow
 And our ranks will grow and grow and grow and so
 The world will feel the fire and finally know!
