MEAN THINGS HAPPENING IN THIS LAND


There is mean things happening in this land
Mean things happening in this land
But the people are [union’s] going on
The people are [union’s] growing strong
There's mean things happening in this land

[There is mean thing happening in this land
Mean things happening in this land
On the eighteenth day of May the union called a strike
But the planters and their bosses throwed the people outta their shacks.
There is mean things happening in this land]

There is mean thing happening in this land
Mean things happening in this land
Children crying in the street
They ain't got no food to eat
There's mean things happening in this land

There are mean thing happening in this land
Mean things happening in this land
We sent our boys all off to war
Now tell me what was it all for?
There's mean things happening in this land

There are mean thing happening in this land
Mean things happening in this land
If you're black or brown or tan
You're in trouble with the man
There's mean things happening in this land

There is mean thing happening in this land
Mean things happening in this land
But the people are [union’s] going on
The people are [union’s] growing strong
There's mean things happening in this land

THERE IS MEAN THINGS HAPPENING IN THIS LAND

There is mean things happening in this land;
There is mean things happening in this land.
Oh, the rich man boasts and brags,
While the poor man goes in rags,
There is mean things happening in this land.

There is mean things happening in this land,
There is mean things happening in this land,
Too much cotton in our sacks,
So we have none on our backs.
There is mean things happening in this land.

There is mean things happening in this land,
There is mean things happening in this land,
To much groceries on the shelves,
So we have none for ourselves,
There is mean things happening in this land.

There is mean things happening in this land;
There is mean things happening in this land.
Oh, the rich man boasts and brags,
While the poor man goes in rags,
There is mean things happening in this land.
