letra de it's a long way down to the soup line - magpie
[verse 1]
bill brown was just a working man like others of his kind
he lost his job and tramped the streets when work was hard to find
the landlord put him on the stem, the bankers kept his dough
and bill heard everybody sing, no matter where he’d go:
[chorus]
it’s a long way down to the soup line
it’s a long way to go
it’s a long way down to the soup line
and the soup is thin, i know
goodbye, good ol’ porkchops
farewell, beef steak rare
it’s a long, long way down to the soup line
but my soup is there
[verse 2]
so, bill and 16 million men responded to the call
to force the hours of labor down and thus make jobs for all
they picketеd the industries and won the four-hour day
and organizеd a general strike so men don’t have to say:
[chorus]
it’s a long way down to the soup line
it’s a long way to go
it’s a long way down to the soup line
and the soup is thin, i know
goodbye, good ol’ porkchops
farewell, beef steak rare
it’s a long, long way down to the soup line
but my soup is there
[verse 3]
the workers own the factories now, where jobs were once destroyed
by big machines that filled the world with hungry unemployed
they all own homes, they’re living well, they’re happy, free, and strong
but millionaires wear overalls and sing this little song:
[chorus]
it’s a long way down to the soup line
it’s a long way to go
it’s a long way down to the soup line
and the soup is thin, i know
goodbye, good ol’ porkchops
farewell, beef steak rare
it’s a long, long way down to the soup line
but my soup is there
[outro]
it’s a long way down to the soup line
it’s a long way to go
it’s a long way down to the soup line
and the soup is thin, i know
goodbye, good ol’ porkchops
farewell, beef steak rare
it’s a long, long way down to the soup line
but my soup is there
