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. | THERE ARE STRANGE THINGS HAPPENING There are strange things happening in this land There are strange things happening in this land Oh, the rich man boasts and brags While the poor man goes in rags There are strange things happening in this land. There are strange things happening in this land There are strange things happening in this land Oh, the farmer cannot eat 'cause he's raised too much wheat There are strange things happening in this land. There are strange things happening in this land There are strange things happening in this land Too much cotton in our sacks So we have none on our backs There are strange things happening in this land. There are strange things happening in this land There are strange things happening in this land Lots of groceries on the shelves But we have none for ourselves There are strange things happening in this land. There are strange things happening in this land There are strange things happening in this land Oh, we'll have even less to eat When the drums commence to beat There are strange things happening in this land. There are strange things happening in this land There are strange things happening in this land But when working men refuse To put on their old war shoes There'll be good things happening in this land. There are strange things happening in this land There are strange things happening in this land When the workers take a stand And unite in a solid band There'll be good things happening in this land. |
