by Alfred Henschke (1890 - 1928), as Jucundus Fröhlich Klabund

Es wird gehn...
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Was will das Proletariat?
Dass keiner zu herrschen hat.
Kein Herr soll befehlen,
kein Knecht sei zu quälen.
Freiheit, Gleichheit allen Seelen!
Vorwärts, Brüder, zur Revolution,
kaltes Blut,
heißer Mut,
vorwärts, es wird geh'n,
wenn wir zusammensteh'n.

Was will das Proletariat?
Sich endlich fressen satt.
Nicht mit knurrendem Magen
für feiste Wänste sich schlagen,
für sich selbst was wagen!
Vorwärts, Brüder, zur Revolution etc.

Was will das Proletariat?
Dem Bauern Acker und Saat.
Nicht Gutsherr noch Gendarm,
die machen ihn ärmer als arm.
Land für alle, Alarm, Alarm!
Vorwärts, Brüder, zur Revolution etc.

Was will das Proletariat?
Weder Eigentum noch Staat.
Die Tyrannei zu Falle,
die Erde für alle,
den Himmel, den Himmel für alle.
Vorwärts, Brüder, zur Revolution etc.
