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! |
