《Forty Hour Week (For a Livin’)》歌词

[00:00:00] Forty Hour Week (For a Livin') - The Hit Co. (热歌公司)

[00:00:08] There are people in this country

[00:00:12] Who work hard every day

[00:00:14] Not for fame or fortune do they strive

[00:00:20] But the fruits of their labor

[00:00:23] Are worth more than their pay

[00:00:25] And it's time a few of them were recognized

[00:00:31] Hello Detroit auto workers

[00:00:34] Let me thank you for your time

[00:00:37] You work a forty hour week for a livin'

[00:00:41] Just to send it on down the line

[00:00:45] Hello Pittsburgh steel mill workers

[00:00:48] Let me thank you for your time

[00:00:51] You work a forty hour week for a livin'

[00:00:55] Just to send it on down the line

[00:00:59] This is for the one who swings the hammer

[00:01:02] Driving home the nail

[00:01:05] Or the one behind the counter

[00:01:08] Ringing up the sale

[00:01:10] Or the one who fights the fires

[00:01:13] The one who brings the mail

[00:01:16] For everyone who works behind the scenes

[00:01:21] You can see them every morning

[00:01:24] In the factories and the fields

[00:01:27] In the city streets and the quiet country towns

[00:01:33] Working together like spokes inside a wheel

[00:01:38] They keep this country turning around

[00:01:44] Hello Kansas wheat field farmer

[00:01:47] Let me thank you for your time

[00:01:50] You work a forty hour week for a livin'

[00:01:54] Just to send it on down the line

[00:01:58] Hello West Virginia coal miner

[00:02:01] Let me thank you for your time

[00:02:03] You work a forty hour week for a livin'

[00:02:08] Just to send it on down the line

[00:02:12] This is for the one who drives the big rig

[00:02:15] Up and down the road

[00:02:18] Or the one out in the warehouse

[00:02:20] Bringing in the load

[00:02:23] Or the waitress the mechanic

[00:02:26] The policeman on patrol

[00:02:29] For everyone who works behind the scenes

[00:02:34] With a spirit you can't replace with no machine

[00:02:43] Hello America let me thank you for your time
