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!
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

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 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!
