Watched with great delight Johnny Cash & June Carter on a two hour DVD with Louis Armstrong, Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, Pete Seeger, Carl Perkins to name but a few. This song just popped up.
lyrics
They say the days of slavery are gone
but my guess, the way things are heading, they are wrong.
Every day I see men and women, strugling for a dime,
to get their mortgage balanced, and the Bankers
I hear them say You got to pay.
Dark clouds are filling our sky
No sun returning till the day we'll die
I guess the poor folk are carrying
the burden & the shame,
gambling banker's sin, they're the one to blame,
you got to pay
You got to pay
Your dues
You got to pay
till you've got nothing left to loose.
They say the worker man has got to work,
while the billionaire can carry on like a jerk,
I saw him on TV,
he didn't look a lot like you and me,
They made him president of Italy.
Give me some news...
