->''Come gather 'round, children\\
It's high time ye learns\\
'Bout a hero named Homer\\
And a devil named Burns\\
We'll march 'til we draw up\\
The girls and the fellas\\
We'll fight to the death\\
Or else fold like umbrellas\\
\\
So we'll march day and night\\
By the big cooling tower\\
They have the plant\\
But we have the power''

We can tear the whole mess down in one day.\\

So if we can't have the world we desire,\\
Lord, we'll have to set this one on fire!''

->"''In this song there was nothing from the old, slavish world. It floated along directly, evenly; it proclaimed an iron virility, a calm threat. Simple, clear, it swept the people after it along an endless path leading to the far distant future; and it spoke frankly about the hardships of the way. In its steady fire a heavy clod seemed to burn and melt - the sufferings they had endured, the dark load of their habitual feelings, their cursed dread of what was coming.''"
