[Dialogue] Song has been cycling in my imagination, remember it?

[Ken Fisher via Dialogue]

To whom can we attribute these wonderful lyrics?

CITIZEN’S SONG
Tune: Prinz Eugen
 
Whether given high position 
Born to rank or the condition 
Of the poorest of the poor 
Whether wearing clothes of fashion 
Or old rags you couldn't cash in 
These things, these things don't endure.
 
If we work hard, gain high placement 
Or for years toil in the basement 
Or we have no work that's sure 
Even if we turn out lazy 
Damned by all the world as crazy 
These things, these things don't endure.
 
Whether gladly into battle 
We march forth, or more like cattle 
We are driven to the war 
Even if we think we're victim 
If the outcome is we've licked 'em 
These things, these things don't endure.
 
But if we build new tomorrows 
Gladly taking on the sorrows 
Which accompany the cure 
Or if all we do is chatter 
'Bout ideals that just don't matter 
These things, these things do endure.
 
 
 
 
 
 
Whether we are implementers 
Social pioneers, inventors 
Future vision to ensure 
Or if we take the position 
That it is another's mission 
These things, these things do endure.
 
If we dare act out our passion 
For those left out and to fashion 
Ways their gifts can be assured 
Or if like a sheltered flower 
Frightened in a hole we cower 
These things, these things do endure.
 
Therefore colleagues in our caring 
Launch the journey with your daring 
With your hearts and spirits pure 
Join your hands with one another 
Every human's now your brother 
These things, these things will endure.
