Berikut ini lirik dan chord lagu "Bread and Roses" dari Judy Collins.
[Verse 1]
A D E
As we go marching marching in the beauty of the day,
A B7 E7
A million darkened kitchens, a thousand mill lofts gray,
A D E7
Are touched with all the radiance that a sudden sun discloses,
A F#m D E A
For the people hear us singing: "Bread and roses! Bread and roses!"
[Verse 2]
A D E
As we go marching, marching, we battle too for men,
A B7 E7
For they are women's children, and we mother them again.
A D E7
Our lives shall not be sweated from birth until life closes;
A F#m D E A
Hearts starve as well as bodies; give us bread but give us roses!
[Verse 3]
A D E
As we go marching, marching, unnumbered women dead
A B7 E7
Go crying through our singing their ancient cry for bread.
A D E7
Small art and love and beauty their drudging spirits knew.
A F#m D E A
Yes, it is bread we fight for - but we fight for roses, too!
[Verse 4]
A D E
As we go marching, marching, we bring the greater days.
A B7 E7
The rising of the women means the rising of the race.
A D E7
No more the drudge and idler - ten that toil where one reposes,
A F#m D E A
But a sharing of life's glories - Bread and roses! Bread and roses!
