《When Will We Be Paid》歌词

[00:02:33] When will we be paid for the work we've done

[00:02:33] We fought in your wars in every land

[00:02:33] To keep this country free, y'all, for women, children, and men

[00:02:33] But every time we ask for pay or a loan

[00:02:33] That's when everything seems to turn out wrong

[00:02:33] We been beat up, called names, shot down and stoned

[00:02:33] Every time we do right, somebody say we're wrong

[00:02:33] Tell me

[00:02:33] When will we be paid for the work we've done

[00:02:33] Listen

[00:02:33] We worked this country from shore to shore

[00:02:33] Our women cooked all your food and washed all your clothes

[00:02:33] We picked cotton and laid the railroad steel

[00:02:33] Worked our hands down to the bone at your lumber mill

[00:02:33] Tell me

[00:02:33] When will we be paid for the work we've done

[00:02:33] Will we ever be proud of "My country, tis of thee"?

[00:02:33] Will we ever sing out loud, "Sweet land of Liberty"?

[00:02:33] When will we be paid for the work we've done?
