Talking Union - Pete Seeger (皮特·西格)[00:00:00]

If you want higher wages let me[00:00:05]

Tell you what to do[00:00:07]

You got to talk to the[00:00:07]

Workers in the shop with you[00:00:08]

You got to build you a[00:00:09]

Union got to make it strong[00:00:11]

But if you all stick[00:00:12]

Together now won't he long[00:00:13]

You'll get shorter hours[00:00:14]

Better working conditions[00:00:18]

Vacations with pay[00:00:20]

Take your kids to the seashore[00:00:21]

It ain't quite this simple[00:00:24]

So I better explain[00:00:25]

Just why you got to ride[00:00:26]

On the union train[00:00:27]

Cause if you wait for[00:00:28]

The boss to raise your pay[00:00:29]

We'll all be waiting[00:00:31]

Till Judgment Day[00:00:32]

We'll all he buried gone to Heaven[00:00:33]

Saint Peter'll be the straw boss then[00:00:38]

Now you know you're[00:00:42]

Underpaid hut the boss says you ain't[00:00:43]

He speeds up the work[00:00:44]

Till you're about to faint[00:00:45]

You may he down and out but you ain't beaten[00:00:47]

Pass out a leaflet and call a meetin'[00:00:49]

Talk it over speak your mind[00:00:51]

Decide to do something about it[00:00:56]

Course the boss may[00:01:00]

Persuade some poor damn fool[00:01:01]

To go to your meeting[00:01:02]

And act like a stool[00:01:03]

But you can always[00:01:04]

Tell a stool though that's a fact[00:01:05]

He's got a yellow streak[00:01:06]

Running down his back[00:01:07]

He doesn't have to stool[00:01:08]

He'll always get long[00:01:11]

On what he takes[00:01:14]

Out of blind men's cups[00:01:15]

You got a union now[00:01:21]

You're sitting pretty[00:01:22]

Put some of the boys[00:01:23]

On the steering committee[00:01:25]

The boss won't listen[00:01:26]

When one man squawks[00:01:27]

But he's got to listen[00:01:28]

When the union talks he better[00:01:29]

He'll be mighty lonely everybady[00:01:32]

Dicide work out on him[00:01:36]

Suppose they're working[00:01:42]

You so hard it's[00:01:42]

Just outrageous[00:01:43]

They're paying you[00:01:44]

All starvation wages[00:01:44]

You go to the boss[00:01:46]

And the boss would yell[00:01:47]

Before I'd raise your pay[00:01:48]

I'd see you all in Hell[00:01:49]

Well he's puffing a big[00:01:50]

Seegar and feeling mighty slick[00:01:51]

He thinks he's got[00:01:53]

Your union licked[00:01:53]

He looks out the window[00:01:55]

And what does he see[00:01:56]

But a thousand pickets[00:01:57]

And they all agree[00:01:58]

He's a bastard unfair slave driver[00:01:59]

Bet he beats his own wife[00:02:06]

Now boy you've come[00:02:11]

To the hardest time[00:02:12]

The boss will try to[00:02:13]

Bust your picket line[00:02:14]

He'll call out the police[00:02:15]

The National Guard[00:02:16]

They'll tell you[00:02:18]

It's a crime to have a union card[00:02:18]

They'll raid your meeting[00:02:20]

Hit you on the head[00:02:21]

Call every one of you a goddamn Red[00:02:22]

Unpatriotic Japanese biees[00:02:24]

Bomb throwers even the kids[00:02:30]

But out in Detroit here's[00:02:35]

What they found[00:02:36]

And out in Frisco here's[00:02:37]

What they found[00:02:38]

And out in Pittsburgh[00:02:39]

Here's what they found[00:02:40]

And down in Bethlehem[00:02:41]

Here's what they found[00:02:42]

That if you don't let[00:02:43]

Red baiting break you up[00:02:44]

If you don't let[00:02:45]

Stool pigeons break you up[00:02:46]

If you don't let[00:02:47]

Vigilantes break you up[00:02:48]

And if you don't[00:02:50]

Let race hatred break you up[00:02:50]

You'll win what I mean[00:02:52]

Take it easy but take it[00:02:53]
