歌曲歌詞
We welcome to heaven Sacco and Vanzetti
Two men that have won the highest of seats
Come let me show you the world that you've come through
It's a funny old world an' I'm sure you'll admit
If you wear rags on earth you're a hobo
If you wear satin they call you a thief
If you save money they'll call you a miser
If you spend money you live on relief
If you work hard of course you are lowly
And if you're a loafer of course you're no good
If you stay sober you're known as a sissy
An' if you drink liquor it goes to your head
If you are fat they'll call you a glutton
If you stay skinny they'll call you a runt
If you laugh they'll say you're an idiot
An' if you cry they'll ask you to stop
If you chase women they'll call you a wolfer
If you don't chase them they'll call you no good an' afraid
If you chase men they'll call you down-harden'
An' if you don't chase them they'll call you an old maid
If you eat your meat fried they'll tell you to boil it
Then if you boil it they'll say it should broil
An' if you don't eat meat and eat only green things
They'll ask you what's wrong with the brain in your skull
Well if you work for wages you support the rich capitalist
And if you don't work you're a lumpen to them
And if you play the gamble of course you're a gambler
An' if you don't gamble you never do win
If you stay poor nobody comes courting
If you get rich well you can't find a mate
If you get married you're wrecking your happiness
And if you stay single you walk to your grave
If you die in your cradle it's a sad misfortune
If you live to old age well it's harder and worse
If you read the papers you know it is many
That take their lives daily when they empty their purse
There's traders and trappers and shippers and hopers
Sacco and Vanzetti in America's fair lands
There's hoppers and croppers and robbers an' dopers
And millions of folks with just two empty hands
You come the straight road Sacco and Vanzetti
You fought with the lord on his most private grounds
He hired his courts and his babblers against you
But I'm here to say you went up and not down
