La peggiore delle schiavitù è quando gli schiavi si credono liberi


WHICH SIDE ARE YOU ON?
(Florence Reese, 1946)

Come all of you good workers,
Good news to you I'll tell,
Of how that good old union
Has come in here to dwell

cho: Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?

My daddy was a miner,
And I'm a miner's son,
And I'll stick with the union,
Till every battle's won

They say in Harlan County,
There are no neutrals there
You'll either be a union man,
Or a thug for JH Blair

Oh, workers can you stand it?
Oh, tell me how you can
Will you be a lousy scab,
Or will you be a man ?

Don't scab for the bosses,
Don't listen to their lies
Us poor folks haven't got a chance,
Unless we organize
