[Verse 1]
C G
The prisons are filling but the streets are filling too
C F
Oppression is mounting but our resistance is as well
C F G
We're burying the old world preparing for the new
C
Repression was the last act of all the tyrants that ever fell

[Chorus]
C
We're not afraid
F
We're not afraid of your courts and of your jails
C Dm G
Millions before us you've martyred for our goal
C
We're not afraid
F
We're not afraid your threats are of no avail
G
Our victory is near
C F C G C
The wheel must onward roll

[Verse 2]

We know the price of freedom is paid in sweat and blood
C F
For every inch of progress our fathers paid that price
C F G
No class could hold back history do whatever they would
C
We mean to have our freedom whatever the sacrifice

[Chorus]
C
We're not afraid
F
We're not afraid of your courts and of your jails
C Dm G
Millions before us you've martyred for our goal

We're not afraid

We're not afraid your threats are of no avail
G
Our victory is near
C F C G C
The wheel must onward roll
