This is protest song from African-American civil rights movement in the 60s. The song was originally written by a calypso style, however, we added some punk and metal elements to it.

Global Resistance is a 1-man project dedicating to promoting the age-old libertarian ideals of less goverment, more liberty and "I won't fuck with you if you don't fuck with me" though the combination of folk music's timelessness and punk music's in-your-face aggression. All music on this page is MIDI arrangements, not live music. 1 - My People Will Rise (African-American Anti-Slavery Song, written by Albert Wood) 2 - Victory (Eastern Europe WWII Fight Song, English translation by Jay Williams, music by Jar. Jezek) 3 - Oh The Fog (Russian Resistance Song, lyrics by M. B. Isakovskii, music by Vladimir Zakharov) 4 - The Foggy Dew (Irish Protest Song, written by Peadar Kearney) 5 - Ohio (American Protest Song, written by Neil Young) We are currently looking for a few more foreign, especially Oriental or Arabic songs to compliment this list. If anyone can recommend such songs, that would be greatly appreciated.

Lyrics
(Intro) We're going to rise My people will rise I know someday my people will rise (Chorus) So smile my friend and dry your eyes Someday soon our people will rise (Verse) They call us savage And they make us slave (us slave) 'Cause in their minds They're the ones depraved The heel is used To grind us down But someday soon There'll be a turnaround (Chorus) They say that women are weak And you know that's wrong (so wrong) Because with our women We'll be twice as strong Slowly, but surely Together we stand And with a surge of power We're bound to free the land (Chorus) The big money man Getting richer too But the sweat is coming From me and you Let's all unite And make a stand Give everyone a chance to the profit Of our grand, rich land (Chorus) When I speak of people I mean us all The fat, the thin The short and the tall No mention must be made Of race or creed 'Cause a thing like that Is a product of greed
