The Great Dictator Songtext
von Syncro

Soldiers, don′t give yourselves to brutes
Men who despise you and enslave you
Who regiment your lives
Tell you what to do, what to think and what to feel
Who drill you, diet you
Treat you like cattle, use you as cannon fodder
Don't give yourselves to these unnatural men
Machine men with machine minds and machine hearts
You are not machines, you are not cattle
You are men

You have the love of humanity in your hearts
You don′t hate
Only the unloved hate, the unloved and the unnatural


Soldiers, don't fight for slavery, fight for liberty
You, the people, have the power
The power to create machines
The power to create happiness
You, the people, have the power
To make this life free and beautiful
To make this life a wonderful adventure

Then, in the name of democracy
Let us use that power

Let us all unite

Let us fight for a new world
A decent world that will give men a chance to work
That will give youth a future and old age a security

By the promise of these things, brutes have risen to power
But they lie
They do not fulfill that promise
They never will
Dictators free themselves but they enslave the people

Now let us fight to fulfill that promise
Let us fight to free the world
To do away with national barriers
To do away with greed, with hate and intolerance
Let us fight for a world of reason
A world where science and progress will lead to all men's happiness


Soldiers, in the name of democracy
Let us all unite
Unite, unite, unite, unite, unite
