david rovics - glory and fame lyrics
i pulled the stones for the emperor
stacked ’em up and made that wall
i thought a mountain lasts forever
but the rain must always fall
i worked the mines in chile
for conquistador
died there in the pitshaft
joined my family with the ore
i tapped the trees for leopold
and then he took my hands
the sap sailed to brussels
and my blood stained the lands
i cut down the sugar cane
on the islands off the coast
oh but the sweet taste of freedom
is the stuff i love the most
tell me who am i
do you know my name
will i lie forgotten
or arise in glory and fame
i fought with poncho villa
stood with him side by side
when the bluecoats took the land
i thought how long is freedom’s ride
i was there at haymarket
with the martyrs eight
for striking in chicago
death would have to be my fate
i cut the timber in centralia
nearly broke my back
tried to organize a union
and they tied me to the tracks
i fought in barcelona
kept the fascists there at bay
then when hitler’s tanks came rolling in
i knew we couldn’t stay
tell me who am i
do you know my name
will i lie forgotten
or arise in glory and fame
i mined the ore in arizona
last of the navajo
got the radium a-glowin’
then it was time for me to go
i marched in south africa
found myself in sharpeville
once the police came and went
i was lying oh so still
i campaigned for allende
for a nation without fear
didn’t look behind me
for the day i’d disappear
i spoke at tienanmen
to revive the revolution
didn’t think for deng xiaoping
rolling tanks were his solution
tell me who am i
do you know my name
will i lie forgotten
or arise in glory and fame
i grew the mangoes in somalia
for the people in the west
and when the price for fruit went down
i went down starving with the rest
i worked the plant in bangkok
breathed the dusty air
when the cotton started burning
i knew my life would not be spared
the cops beat me in los angeles
but i would not be scared
when they sent the army in
i thought next time we’ll be prepared
yes, i’ve been yearning for a new day
all the worldwide
someday my time will come
and you will have to step aside
tell me who am i
do you know my name
will i lie forgotten
or arise in glory and fame
