The Night that Goldman Spoke at Union Square - David Loud/Judy Kaye (Judy Kaye)/Peter Friedman/Steven Sutcliffe (Steven Sutcliffe)[00:00:00]

I have just returned from Lawrence Massachusetts[00:00:02]

Where eight weeks ago the workers there went on strike[00:00:05]

They are starving their children are dying but they are holding firm[00:00:09]

And we must support them[00:00:14]

It was winter in New York[00:00:18]

As the snow began to fall[00:00:20]

And the workmen's hall that not a seat to spare[00:00:22]

When a young man docked inside[00:00:26]

Just to warm himself was all[00:00:29]

The night that Goldman spoke at Union Square[00:00:31]

What is happening in Lawrence is happening everywhere[00:00:37]

Let us at last to make this the land[00:00:40]

Of opportunity for all people not just the owners[00:00:43]

The land of opportunity[00:00:46]

For tateh and his little girl[00:00:48]

We cannot rest[00:00:49]

She was speaking loud and fast[00:00:52]

Through a haze of noise and heat[00:00:55]

And the smell of sweat and anger in the air[00:00:57]

The police were standing by[00:01:01]

But the crowd was on it's feet[00:01:03]

The night that Goldman spoke at Union Square[00:01:06]

You he thought he heard her say[00:01:12]

What brings you here today[00:01:14]

Poor young rich boy[00:01:16]

Masturbates for a Vaudeville tart[00:01:19]

What a waste of a fiery heart[00:01:21]

Dear he thought she said[00:01:23]

Poor young bourgeois[00:01:25]

There are things that you've never thought[00:01:28]

Come to Emma and you'll be taught[00:01:30]

Here[00:01:32]

His head was spinning[00:01:33]

People feathered and tarred my friend[00:01:34]

Unions broken and why for[00:01:36]

Children laboring women still enslaved[00:01:38]

Leave you little backyard my friend[00:01:43]

There are causes to die for[00:01:45]

Strike in the gutters of the city[00:01:47]

I have tried to find some meaning[00:01:49]

Strike in the arms of fallen women[00:01:51]

In the thought of suicide[00:01:54]

Strike[00:01:55]

Like a firework unexploded[00:01:56]

Wanting life but never knowing how[00:01:58]

My brother life has meaning[00:02:00]

I'll show you how[00:02:02]

Till now[00:02:04]

My brother you are with us now[00:02:05]

He was calling out her name[00:02:08]

Shouting what he did not know[00:02:10]

And he found that he was standing on a chair[00:02:12]

With a heart as clean and new[00:02:16]

As the freshly fallen snow[00:02:19]

The night that Goldman spoke[00:02:21]

I've been waiting for you[00:02:25]

At Union Square[00:02:27]

Strike strike strike strike strike strike strike strike strike strike strike[00:02:35]

Strike strike strike[00:02:43]

I hate you godd**ned America[00:02:50]

Tateh tateh tateh tateh tateh tateh[00:02:53]
