《The Night that Goldman Spoke at Union Square》歌词

[00:00:00] The Night that Goldman Spoke at Union Square - Musical Cast Recording

[00:00:06] I have just arrived from Lawrence Massachusetts where

[00:00:09] Eight weeks ago the workers there went on strike They are

[00:00:12] Starving their children are dying but they are holding firm

[00:00:16] And we must support them

[00:00:21] It was winter in New York

[00:00:23] As the snow began to fall

[00:00:25] And the workmen's hall had not a seat to spare

[00:00:30] When a young man stepped inside

[00:00:32] Just to warm himself was all

[00:00:34] The night that Goldman spoke at Union Square

[00:00:40] What is happening in Lawrence is happening everywhere

[00:00:41] Let us at last make this the land of opportunity for

[00:00:42] All people not just the owners The land of opportunity

[00:00:44] For Tateh and his little girl We cannot rest

[00:00:47] She was speaking loud and fast

[00:00:49] Through a haze of noise and heat

[00:00:51] And the smell of sweat and anger in the air

[00:00:56] The police were standing by

[00:00:58] But the crowd was on it's feet

[00:01:00] The night that Goldman spoke at Union Square

[00:01:08] You

[00:01:09] He thought he heard her say

[00:01:11] What brings you here today

[00:01:12] Poor young rich boy

[00:01:13] Masturbates for a Vaudeville tart

[00:01:14] What a waste of a fiery heart

[00:01:15] Dear

[00:01:15] He thought she said

[00:01:16] Poor young bourgeois

[00:01:17] There are things that you've never thought

[00:01:18] Come to Emma and you'll be taught

[00:01:19] Here

[00:01:20] His head was spinning

[00:01:21] People feathered and tarred my friend

[00:01:22] Unions broken and why for

[00:01:23] Children laboring women still enslaved

[00:01:25] Leave you little backyard my friend

[00:01:26] There are causes to die for

[00:01:28] Strike

[00:01:28] In the gutters of the city

[00:01:28] I have tried to find some meaning

[00:01:28] Strike

[00:01:28] In the arms of fallen women

[00:01:29] In the thought of suicide

[00:01:30] Strike

[00:01:30] Like a firework unexploded

[00:01:30] Wanting life but never

[00:01:30] Knowing how

[00:01:31] My brother

[00:01:31] Life had meaning

[00:01:32] Strike

[00:01:32] I'll show you how

[00:01:33] Till now

[00:01:33] My brother you are

[00:01:34] With us now

[00:01:36] He was calling out her name

[00:01:38] Shouting what he did not know

[00:01:40] And he found that he was standing on a chair

[00:01:45] With a heart as clean and new

[00:01:47] As the frshly fallen snow

[00:01:50] The night that Goldman spoke

[00:01:53] I've been waiting for you

[00:01:56] At Union Square

[00:02:00] Strike Strike Strike Strike
