40-Hour Week Lyrics – Lee Bains III & The Glory Fires
Singer: Lee Bains III & The Glory Fires
Title: 40-Hour Week
When you’re dead-broke, pushing pallets
In the dusty aisles of a cinderblock tomb
Till your back is stove up
Your coughs are black
And your thoughts are frayed
You can call on the Magic City outlaws
Drop-forged in this smog-choked valley
Who scrapped with the Big Mules
The gun thugs, and the scabs
For their honor and their share of pay
O, children, in the concrete and pines
Working with our hands and on our feet
O, children, holding that holy old line —
In remembrance of the 40-hour week
When you’re rent-strapped, threading symbols
Through the pale rows of a flickering screen
Till your wrists are trashed
Your mind is static
And your eyes are stung
You can call on the Etowah outlaws
Who worked and spun their fingers raw
Who walked out of red-brick caves
Along the falling waters, and
Into the light of a brand new day
O, children, in the concrete and pines
Working with our hands and on our feet
O, children, holding that holy old line —
In remembrance of the 40-hour week
Seems like lately
We get up
To go to work
Get ready for work
We head to work
And we work
Till we get off work
And take it to the house from work
We hit the kitchen
And we get to work
We talk about work
We worry about work
We dream about it
When you’re dog-sick, snatching plates
From the greasy jaws of this greedy Post-Life
And the quicker you rush them out
The quicker it gobbles them up
And you gather what it spills
You can call on the Tallapoosa outlaws
Who burnt their necks stooped to the Black Belt soil
Who raised hammer and hoe to the landlords
Hollering, God’s people shall eat of their own fields–
We shall eat of our own fields!
O, children, in the concrete and pines
Working with our hands and on our feet
O, children, holding that holy old line —
In remembrance of the 40-hour week

40-Hour Week – Terjemahan / Translation
Saat Anda mati-matian, mendorong palet
Di lorong berdebu dari makam cinderblock
Sampai punggung Anda naik kompor
Batuk Anda hitam
Dan pikiran Anda berjumbai
Anda dapat memanggil penjahat kota ajaib
Dijatuhkan di lembah yang dicekik kabut ini
Yang dibatalkan dengan bagal besar
Preman senjata, dan keropeng
Untuk kehormatan mereka dan bagian pembayaran mereka
O, anak -anak, dalam beton dan pinus
Bekerja dengan tangan dan kaki kita
O, anak -anak, memegang garis tua suci itu –
Untuk mengenang 40 jam seminggu
Saat Anda beralih, simbol threading
Melalui barisan pucat layar yang berkedip -kedip
Sampai pergelangan tangan Anda dibuang
Pikiran Anda statis
Dan matamu disengat
Anda dapat memanggil Etowah Outlaws
Yang bekerja dan memutar jari mereka mentah
Yang keluar dari gua bata merah
Di sepanjang air yang jatuh, dan
Ke dalam cahaya hari baru
O, anak -anak, dalam beton dan pinus
Bekerja dengan tangan dan kaki kita
O, anak -anak, memegang garis tua suci itu –
Untuk mengenang 40 jam seminggu
Sepertinya akhir -akhir ini
Kami bangun
Untuk pergi bekerja
Bersiaplah untuk bekerja
Kami menuju bekerja
Dan kami bekerja
Sampai kami pulang kerja
Dan bawa ke rumah dari tempat kerja
Kami Menabrak Dapur
Dan kami mulai bekerja
Kami berbicara tentang pekerjaan
Kami khawatir tentang pekerjaan
Kami bermimpi tentang itu
Saat Anda sakit anjing, merebut piring
Dari rahang berminyak dari pasca-kehidupan serakah ini
Dan semakin cepat Anda terburu -buru
Semakin cepat melahap mereka
Dan Anda mengumpulkan apa yang tumpah
Anda dapat memanggil Tallapoosa Outlaws
Yang membakar leher mereka membungkuk ke tanah sabuk hitam
Yang mengangkat palu dan cangkul ke tuan tanah
Berteriak, umat Tuhan akan memakan ladang mereka sendiri–
Kami akan makan di ladang kami sendiri!
O, anak -anak, dalam beton dan pinus
Bekerja dengan tangan dan kaki kita
O, anak -anak, memegang garis tua suci itu –
Untuk mengenang 40 jam seminggu
