Testo Bread and Roses - Utah Phillips
Testo della canzone Bread and Roses (Utah Phillips), tratta dall'album We Have Fed You All a Thousand Years
As we come marching, marching in the beauty of the day
A million darkened kitchens, a thousand mill lofts gray
Are brightened by the beauty a sudden sun discloses
And the people hear us singing bread and roses, bread and roses
As we come marching, marching, we battle too for men
For they are in this struggle and together we can win
Our lives shall not be sweated from birth until life closes
Hearts can starve as well as bodies, give us bread but give us roses
As we come marching, marching, a hundred million dead
Go crying through our singing their ancient cry for bread
Small art and love and beauty their grudging spirits knew
It's bread we fight for but we fight for roses too
As we come marching, marching, we're standing proud and tall
The rising of the women is the rising of us all
No more the drudge and idler can but toil where one reposes
But a sharing of life's glories, bread and
Roses, bread and roses, bread and roses
