"Bread And Roses" lyrics
(performed by Vanessa Morgan, Erinn Westbrook, KJ Apa & Drew Ray Tanner)
(from "Riverdale: Special Episode - American Psycho The Musical" soundtrack)
As we go marching, marching
Unnumbered women said
Go crying through our singing
Their ancient call for bread
Small art and love and beauty
their trudging spirits knew
Yes it is bread we fight for
But we fight for roses too
As we go marching, marching
In the beauty of the day
A million darkened kitchens
A thousand mill-lofts gray
Are touched with all the radiance
That a sudden sun discloses
For the people hear us singing:
Bread and roses, bread and roses
Our days shall not be sweated
From birth until life closes
Heart starve as well as bodies
Give us bread, but give us roses
Unnumbered women said
Go crying through our singing
Their ancient call for bread
Small art and love and beauty
their trudging spirits knew
Yes it is bread we fight for
But we fight for roses too
As we go marching, marching
In the beauty of the day
A million darkened kitchens
A thousand mill-lofts gray
Are touched with all the radiance
That a sudden sun discloses
For the people hear us singing:
Bread and roses, bread and roses
Our days shall not be sweated
From birth until life closes
Heart starve as well as bodies
Give us bread, but give us roses
