It is we who ploughed the prairies, built the cities where they trade

        Eb                                     Bb
Dug the mines and built the workshops, endless miles of railroad laid

All the world  that's owned by idle drones is ours and ours alone

        Eb                                  Bb
We have laid the wide foundations, built it skyward stone by stone

They have taken untold millions that they never toiled to earn

        Eb                              Bb

In our hands is placed a power greater than their hoarded gold

        Eb                            Bb
Greater than the might of armies magnified a thousandfold
