剛好跟這幾天的新聞還有之前洋華的事件多少有關連
我並不是什麼社會學家與學生
這首歌當收入在06專輯就讓我很有感觸與畫面
這首歌或許舉的例子還有數據 我也無法考就真實性為何
但是 我想當我們還能很幸福的在電腦聽著音樂 上網
的確有人是很辛苦的生活著

(嗯 大家可以先看一些歌詞, 我暫時不做全部翻譯 我把一些重點字" "起來)
(Sample interview 對話)
When you over in American Samoa, what…what surprised you the most?
- I guess what hit me the most is the condition of the factory that the
workers were in:
The factory was surrounded by a fence and barbed wire on top and on the
bottom. And they have a chain-linked fence surround the whole factory and,
and dormitory compound. The gate has a…has a guard shack, where the guard
sit there and control the worker movement in and out of the.. of the factory
- The factory are made of ahm.. tin panels with tin roof. It’s really hot.
The temperature over there is verily ninety degrees and inside the factory or
the dormitory it reaches way over a hundred degrees.
[Verse 1]:
Yeah
It’s the contemporary form of slavery, they call it "slave labour"
But they don’t "prosecute" them cuz it’s how they make paper
When you rocking that fly shit that’s made in "China"
By an "eight year old child" tryna feed his mama
He exposed to contamination and disease
And only fifty-five percent of them will get degrees
And the women have to try to placate(安撫) the boss
Because it’s "sex discrimination" in the labour force
The "slave master" only let them speak in "sign language"(肢體語言?)
And they’re suffering from "lung disease" and "eye damage"
"fourteen hour shifts, seven days a week"
"two shitty meals a day, very little sleep"
Human life only "worth three cents" an hour
All human right laws loose sense of power
What did four hundred years in the grave passes?
Only the improved "cleverness of slave masters".
[Chorus]:
Is life worth living if you living in hell?
When the mind is confined to a prisoner’s cell?
And the lies they devise in the system that fell?
But I expect the system to fail!
Is life worth living if you living in hell?
When the mind is confined to a prisoner’s cell?
And the lies they devise in the system that fell?
But I expect the system to fail!
- Many Chinese workers are forced to sign secret agreements, known as "shadow
contracts", before they leave China, severely and, in some ways, illegally
restricting their activities while on American soil. Workers are forbidden to
participate in any religious or political activity or to ask for a salary
increase or even to fall in love or get married.
(這段應該是只有19世紀美國華工那段時期,高手請指正)
[Verse 2]:
It’s one point six million people "locked in jail"
They do new slave labour force "trapped in hell"
They generate over "a billion dollars" worth to power
And only getting paid "twenty cents" an hour
They make cloths for McDonald’s and for Apple Bee’s
And working fourteen hour shifts in prison factories
And while we sit around debating who the wack emcee is
They have to work when "arthritic pain" attack the knees
"Slavery is not illegal, that’s a fucking lie!"
"""""""It is illegal, unless it’s for conviction of a crime"""""
The main objective is to get you in your fxxxing prime.
And keep the "prison full" and not give you a "fxxxing dime"
But they the real criminal keeping you confined
For a petty crime but they give you two-to-nine
And ain’t nobody there to protect ya
Except a bunch of incompetent(無能) "human rights inspectors"
[Chorus]:
Is life worth living if you living in hell?
When the mind is confined to a prisoner’s cell?
And the lies they devise in the system that fell?
But I expect the system to fail!
Is life worth living if you living in hell?
When the mind is confined to a prisoner’s cell?
And the lies they devise in the system that fell?
But I expect the system to fail!
- The sweatshop situation’s kind of cohesive and kind of take advantage on
the people that are poor and at an economic disadvantage.
- This Chinese woman made T-shirts and pants at the factory until she became
pregnant.
- """"When I told them I was pregnant, they told me to have an abortion""""..
- Tu Xiao Mei says she refused to have the abortion and has now been barred
from entering the factory.
- To allow them to bring that on to US soil is a very deep concern. We've now
documented the facts that management coerces female workers who become
pregnant into having abortions.
- But human rights workers say it's common practice
- Inside that factory Chinese law applies, and Chinese law is… is supreme
- Even though it's the United States of America?
-""""" The flag doesn't fly inside there.""""""
