人声采样部分节选自"Protection for miners"【Washington, D.C., April 3, 1947】
By:John L. Lewis
The United Mine Workers is a law abiding institution. It's not a revolutionary organization. It's against those who promote disobedience to law and hope to achieve their objective by violence in this country.
The United Mine Workers in this country have been fighting the Communist movement since its inception. It isn't a new thing with us.
We're Americans. But let me say to you, sir, that this butchery of coal miners in the Krug slaughter-houses in the country does more to make Communistic adherence than anything else in this country.
And these constant threats from Congress and from the financial press of this country, controlled by the larger interests, about putting labor in irons and then stringing them from a halter on Talvern Hill, that helps to make Communists, too.
Is it any wonder that there is lamentation in the mining towns of this country? Is it any wonder that there is a spirit of rebellion against this condition manifested now by the memorial services and the prayers to high heaven that's going up from every mining community?
Is it any wonder that women in the mining camps now are reluctant to see their men go to the mines next week when the memorial period is over?
Consider the families...
歌词部分:
Break away now
Break away
Break away ...
You will break away [X5]
人声采样第二部分:
Who knows whose mine it will be tomorrow, or tonight? These are the imponderables.
If we must grind up human flesh and bone in the industrial machine that we call modern America, then before God, I assert that those who consume the coal, and you and I who benefit from that service because we live in comfort, we owe protection to those men first, and we owe the security for their family if they die.
I say it, I voice it, I proclaim it, and I care not who in heaven or hell opposes it!
That's what I believe about that.
