BATTLE OF CABLE STREET

After the great depression Britain stood with its back to the wall
right-wing parties rose and looked for a goal.
In fascist uniforms they aimed at entering the Jewish quarter
but they didn't recall upon communists, workers and supporters

All together side by side kept the fascists scum away
„THEY SHALL NOT PASS“ - not on this glory day
All together side by side kept the fascists scum away
„THEY SHALL NOT PASS“ - not on this glory day

„THEY SHALL NOT PASS“ - SLOGAN OF A GLORY DAY
NO POLICE COULD BREAK THEM,
COULD NOT BREAK SOLIDARITY

East end people refused the march through their streets
Blackshirts were not welcome here and had to retreat
Thousands of people blocked the way – no inch for the fascist scum
There was only one direction – run, fascists, run

All together side by side kept the fascists scum away
„THEY SHALL NOT PASS“ - not on this glory day
All together side by side kept the fascists scum away
„THEY SHALL NOT PASS“ - not on this glory day

„THEY SHALL NOT PASS“ - SLOGAN OF A GLORY DAY
NO POLICE COULD BREAK THEM,
COULD NOT BREAK SOLIDARITY

In that street people won their own war against fascism
After the clash political uniforms in public were forbidden
Cable street can be everywhere when people stand like a wall
It was the power of the people and a history lesson for us all

„THEY SHALL NOT PASS“ - SLOGAN OF A GLORY DAY
NO POLICE COULD BREAK THEM,
COULD NOT BREAK SOLIDARITY
