Malvina Reynolds: Song Lyrics and Poems  



The Only Way

Notes: words and music by Malvina Reynolds; copyright 1977 Schroder Music Company, renewed 2005.


Socialism is the only way to go.
Socialism is the only way to go.
Millions are poor and in despair
While the capitalist few sit fat up there,
And Socialism is the only way to go.

Socialism is the only way to go.
Socialism is the only way to go.
The way we're going the world can't last,
So we've got to make some basic changes fast,
And Socialism is the only way to go.

Socialism is the only way to go.
Socialism is the only way to go.
The Capitalist system has seen its day,
We better get off before it blows us away,
And Socialism is the only way to go.

Socialism is the only way to go.
Socialism is the only way to go.
Capitalism's time is past and gone,
The people got to start moving on,
And Socialism is the only way to go.

Socialism is the only way to go.
Socialism is the only way to go.
If we get together for our common cause,
We can save the people from those monster jaws,
And Socialism is the only way to go.

Socialism is the only way to go.
Socialism is the only way to go.
Take the power from the hands of the few,
And the people will soon know what to do,
And Socialism is the only way to go.

Socialism is the only way to go.
Socialism is the only way to go.
Socialism comes in many shapes and sizes,
Every day a new form arises,
And Socialism is the only way to go.

Socialism is the only way to go.
Socialism is the only way to go.
The sun is arising clear and bright,
We know our direction and the goal's in sight,
And Socialism is the only way to go.
