Lyrics

You're not my brother, nor my countryman
Not my sister or my friend
But you're my comrade, be so till the last
They shall not pa**; they shall not pa**

Now blood is running through the streets of Spain
And London gripped in fear
Oh, smell of gunfire, sound of breaking gla**
You shall not pa**; you shall not pa**

Why fight the good fight, fight the good fight?
Why not let them burn?
I dread the day when the suffering of my fellow
Is none of my concern, so

Stand up today that we might save tomorrow
Oh I know there's a way that we might save tomorrow
Yes it's late in the day but we might save tomorrow if we try

I shall not turn against my brother
For his creed or for his colour
Nor the one he takes his lover
Or his cla**
You that beckon me that way, you shall not pa**
And you who speak of ideology
Who speak of people like they're pawns
Whose motives lie 'neath frosted gla**
You shall not pa**; you shall not pa**

In the name now of humanity
Not left nor right, not black nor white
Tear the fascist flag now from its mast
It shall not pa**; it shall not pa**

Why fight the good fight, fight the good fight?
Why not let them burn?
I dread the day when the suffering of my fellow
Is none of my concern, so

Stand up today that we might save tomorrow
Oh I know there's a way that we might save tomorrow
Yes it's late in the day but we might save tomorrow, you and I

We shall not turn against each other
For our creed or for our colour
Nor the ones we choose our lovers
Or our cla**
You that beckon us that way, you shall not pa**
Stand up and speak, it's not a call to arms
Get on your feet, it's not a call to arms
Get on the street, it's not a call to arms
It's a call to helping hands

Stand up today that we might save tomorrow
Oh I know there's a way that we might save tomorrow
Yes it's late in the day but we might save tomorrow if we try

I will not turn against my brother
For his creed or for his colour
Nor the one he takes his lover
Or his cla**
You that beckon me that way, you shall not pa**
