Talking Union letra de Pete Seeger lyrics
If you want higher wages, let me tell you what to do; |
You got to talk to the workers in the shop with you; |
You got to build you a union, got to make it strong, |
But if you all stick together, now, 'twont he long. |
You'll get shorter hours, |
Better working conditions. |
Vacations with pay, |
Take your kids to the seashore. |
It ain't quite this simple, so I better explain |
Just why you got to ride on the union train; |
'Cause if you wait for the boss to raise your pay, |
We'll all be waiting till Judgment Day; |
We'll all he buried - gone to Heaven - |
Saint Peter'll be the straw boss then. |
Now, you know you're underpaid, hut the boss says you ain't; |
He speeds up the work till you're 'bout to faint, |
You may he down and out, but you ain't beaten, |
Pass out a leaflet and call a meetin' |
Talk it over - speak your mind - |
Decide to do something about it. |
'Course, the boss may persuade some poor damn fool |
To go to your meeting and act like a stool; |
But you can always tell a stool, though - that's a fact; |
He's got a yellow streak running down his back; |
He doesn't have to stool - he'll always make a good living |
On what he takes out of blind men's cups. |
You got a union now; you're sitting pretty; |
Put some of the boys on the steering committee. |
The boss won't listen when one man squawks. |
But he's got to listen when the union talks. |
He better - |
He'll be mighty lonely one of these days. |
Suppose they're working you so hard it's just outrageous, |
They're paying you all starvation wages; |
You go to the boss, and the boss would yell, |
"Before I'd raise your pay I'd see you all in Hell." |
Well, he's puffing a big see-gar and feeling mighty slick, |
He thinks he's got your union licked. |
He looks out the window, and what does he see |
But a thousand pickets, and they all agree |
He's a bastard - unfair - slave driver - |
Bet he beats his own wife. |
Now, boy, you've come to the hardest time; |
The boss will try to bust your picket line. |
He'll call out the police, the National Guard; |
They'll tell you it's a crime to have a union card. |
They'll raid your meeting, hit you on the head. |
Call every one of you a goddamn Red - |
Unpatriotic - Moscow agents - |
Bomb throwers, even the kids. |
But out in Detroit here's what they found, |
And out in Frisco here's what they found, |
And out in Pittsburgh here's what they found, |
And down in Bethlehem here's what they found, |
That if you don't let Red-baiting break you up, |
If you don't let stool pigeons break you up, |
If you don't let vigilantes break you up, |
And if you don't let race hatred break you up - |
You'll win. What I mean, |
Take it easy - but take it! |
