[00:06.07] If you want higher wages, let me tell you what to do;
[00:08.29] You got to talk to the workers in the shop with you;
[00:10.57] You got to build you a union, got to make it strong,
[00:12.90] But if you all stick together, now, ‘twont he long.
[00:15.58] You'll get shorter hours,
[00:18.91] Better working conditions.
[00:21.35] Vacations with pay,
[00:22.57] Take your kids to the seashore.
[00:25.23] It ain't quite this simple, so I better explain
[00:27.48] Just why you got to ride on the union train;
[00:29.84] ‘Cause if you wait for the boss to raise your pay, We'll all be waiting till Judgment Day;
[00:34.69] We'll all he buried - gone to Heaven -
[00:39.97] Saint Peter'll be the straw boss then.
[00:44.33] Now, you know you're underpaid, hut the boss says you ain't;
[00:46.65] He speeds up the work till you're ‘bout to faint,
[00:48.92] You may he down and out, but you ain't beaten,
[00:51.10] Pass out a leaflet and call a meetin'
[00:53.64] Talk it over - speak your mind -
[00:58.77] Decide to do something about it.
[01:02.55] ‘Course, the boss may persuade some poor damn fool To go to your meeting and act like a stool;
[01:06.86] But you can always tell a stool, though - that's a fact;
[01:09.46] He's got a yellow streak running down his back;
[01:11.60] He doesn't have to stool - he'll always make a good living
[01:15.43] On what he takes out of blind men's cups.
[01:24.57] You got a union now; you're sitting pretty;
[01:26.79] Put some of the boys on the steering committee.
[01:28.83] The boss won't listen when one man squawks.
[01:31.30] But he's got to listen when the union talks.
[01:33.66] He better -
[01:35.98] He'll be mighty lonely one of these days.
[01:47.20] Suppose they're working you so hard it's just outrageous,
[01:48.37] They're paying you all starvation wages;
[01:50.03] You go to the boss, and the boss would yell,
[01:52.22] "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,
[01:54.55] He thinks he's got your union licked.
[01:59.69] He looks out the window, and what does he see
[02:01.29] But a thousand pickets, and they all agree
[02:03.63] He's a bastard - unfair - slave driver -
[02:10.40] Bet he beats his own wife.
[02:15.74] Now, boy, you've come to the hardest time;
[02:18.26] The boss will try to bust your picket line.
[02:20.20] He'll call out the police, the National Guard;
[02:22.30] They'll tell you it's a crime to have a union card.
[02:24.56] They'll raid your meeting, hit you on the head.
[02:26.73] Call every one of you a goddamn Red -
[02:29.06] Unpatriotic - Moscow agents -
[02:35.45] Bomb throwers, even the kids.
[02:39.90] But out in Detroit here's what they found,
[02:41.79] And out in Frisco here's what they found,
[02:43.96] And out in Pittsburgh here's what they found,
[02:46.13] And down in Bethlehem here's what they found,
[02:48.36] That if you don't let Red-baiting break you up,
[02:50.80] If you don't let stool pigeons break you up,
[02:52.98] If you don't let vigilantes break you up,
[02:55.14] And if you don't let race hatred break you up -
[02:57.52] You'll win. What I mean,
[02:59.06] Take it easy - but take it!
[03:02.08]
[00:06.07] If you want higher wages, let me tell you what to do
[00:08.29] You got to talk to the workers in the shop with you

[03:02.08]
[00:06.07] 想要提高工资吗?我教你怎么做
[00:08.29] 你要和与你一起在店里工作的同事们谈一谈
[00:10.57] 你们应当建立自己的工会 并让它成长壮大起来
[00:12.90] 如果你们能够团结起来 那么用不了多久
[00:15.58] 你们的工时就能缩短
[00:18.91] 工作条件也会改善
[00:21.35] 还有带薪休假
[00:22.57] 这样你就有空带着孩子们去海边散散心
[00:25.23] 当然 凡事没有这么轻松 我再详细地说一说
[00:27.48] 说说为什么你们必须搞工会
[00:29.84] 都知道 如果干等着老板给你涨工资 恐怕得等到世界末日
[00:34.69] 等所有人统统上天堂
[00:39.97] 到时候圣彼得就是咱的好工头
[00:44.33] 你觉得你现在的待遇很不怎么样 但老板说已经很好了
[00:46.65] 他要你快马加鞭 直到你累得昏过去
[00:48.92] 你或许会被他整得精疲力尽 但不要认输
[00:51.10] 你要散发传单 组织集会
[00:53.64] 开诚布公地说出你的诉求
[00:58.77] 并下决心做点什么
[01:02.55] 要小心老板收买的那些走狗 他们可能会混进来搞破坏
[01:06.86] 但那些走狗其实很好分辨
[01:09.46] 那些畏首畏尾的人就是了
[01:11.60] 因为他们不想斗争 - 他们已经养尊处优了
[01:15.43] 他们早就靠出卖良心大赚了一笔
[01:24.57] 工会组织起来之后
[01:26.79] 要设立一个委员会
[01:28.83] 老板不屑听一个人的抱怨
[01:31.30] 但如果工会想找他谈谈 他就会老实得多
[01:33.66] 毕竟老板还是识时务的
[01:35.98] 你或许可怜他 觉得工会搞得他众叛亲离
[01:47.20] 但想想老板肆意压榨你的那些日子
[01:48.37] 只付给你勉强糊口的工资
[01:50.03] 你去找老板 他只会大骂说
[01:52.22] “要我给你涨工资不如让我下地狱” - 多么傲慢和霸道啊
[01:54.55] 他以为他给了工会一个下马威
[01:59.69] 但等他看到窗外成群的工人纠察队(译注:指防止工贼破坏罢工的工会成员)时他就学乖了
[02:01.29] 大家都知道
[02:03.63] 老板不过是个净想着压榨你的奴隶主罢了
[02:10.40] 他肯定还打老婆呢
[02:15.74] 同志们 接下来就是最艰难的环节
[02:18.26] 老板要冲垮你们的罢工封锁线
[02:20.20] 他会叫来警察和国民警卫队
[02:22.30] 他们会宣布工会非法
[02:24.56] 会突击搜查工会会议 让你受皮肉之苦
[02:26.73] 把你们打成赤匪
[02:29.06] 说你们卖国 是莫斯科境外势力的代理人
[02:35.45] 污蔑你们搞恐怖袭击 连小孩也不放过
[02:39.90] 尽管他们有如此种种手段 但看看底特律的斗争
[02:41.79] 看看旧金山的斗争
[02:43.96] 看看匹兹堡的斗争
[02:46.13] 再看看伯利恒的斗争
[02:48.36] 你就会知道 只要抵制住老板的收买
[02:50.80] 只要不让工贼的离间计得逞
[02:52.98] 只要不惧怕老板的流氓打手
[02:55.14] 只要不让种族仇恨分裂大家
[02:57.52] 你们就能赢的胜利 是的
[02:59.06] 放轻松 - 但不要大意!
