الأغاني: Woody Guthrie. Mean Things Happenin’ In This World.

Look at th? Big War ?crost the Sea;

Well I?m sure that you?ll agree

There?s mean things a happenin? in this world;



I ain?t got a cryin? dime,

An? I?m that a way all th? time;

There?s mean things a happenin? in this world;



Ever thing is leased and lent

And to Britain it has went;

And th? Soldier in th? War

Don?t know what he?s a fightin? for;

And the Tanks a rollin? on

To th? burstin? of th? bombs;

Brother an? Sister getting? killed

For a green back dollar bill;

There?s Mean things a happenin? in this World



Man and Woman lend an ear

To the War that?s drawin? neat;

You are spied on by Police

If you Speak the Word of Peace;

If you talk ?bout Broth?ly Love

Back in Jail you?ll get shoved;

O? I?d ruther?d fight for Peace

Than this crooked Lend & Lease

There?s Mean things a happenin? in this World



Folks wants Peace for miles aroun?

Lord, from New York City down;

But we?re a gonna save our Nation

With a Peace Mobilization;

Lord, the cops turn on th? heat

If you talk Peace on th? street

Organize my Brother and Sister

And we?ll win this World again;

There?s Mean things a happenin? in this World
