Mean things happening in this world
Look at the 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
And I'm that away all the time
There's mean things a happenin' in this world..
There's mean things a happenin' in this world..
Everything is leased and len
And to Britain it has went
And the soldier in the war
Don't know what he's fighting for
And the tank's a rollin' on
To the burstin' of the bombs
Brother and Sister gettin' 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' near
You are spied on -by police
If you speak the word of Peace
If you talk 'bout brotherly love
Back in jail you'll get shoved
o' I'd ruther'd fight for Peace
Than this crooked -lend an lease
There's mean things a happenin' in this world [x3]
Folks wants Peace for miles aroun'
Lord, from New York City down
But we're agonna save our nation
With a Peace mobilization..
Lord, the cops turn on the heat
If you talk Peace on the street
Organize my Brother and Sister
And we'll win this world again
There's mean things a happenin' in this world…

Allora c'è un barlume di speranza, qualche pellerossa è sopravvissuto ancora.
Stranamente, più furrono a nord, più si sono salvati... sarà un caso?
E ce l'hanno pure 'na santa, Kateri (Caterina) Tekakwitha http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kateri_Te..., di cui scrisse abbondantamente Leonard Cohen nel suo romanzo degli '60.
Se vi possa essere di conforto in quei tempi bui.

Lyrics by Woody Guthrie
Music by Blackfire
Le parole sono di Woody Guthrie ma la musica non è sua, è dei Blackfire, un gruppo punk rock formato da due fratelli e una sorella, nativi americani, precisamente Navajo. Nel 2003 hanno realizzato un album con Nora Guthrie, nipote del menestrello dell’Oklahoma, un disco intitolato “Woody Guthrie Singles” che raccoglie brani fino a quel momento sconosciuti e mai pubblicati del grande cantautore.
