When you hear someone singing a song with these lyrics, It is we who plowed the prairies; built the cities where they trade;
Dug the mines and built the workshops, endless miles of railroad laid;
Now we stand outcast and starving midst the wonders we have made.
What valuable asset of the proletariat are they describing?
