There Is Mean Things Happening In This Land

There is mean things happening in this land
There is mean things happening in this land,
Oh the rich man boasts and brags
while the poor man goes in rags
There is mean things happening in this land

There is mean things happening in this land
There is mean things happening in this land,
Oh, the farmer cannot eat,
’cause he ‘s raised too much wheat,
There is mean things happening in this land

There is mean things happening in this land
There is mean things happening in this land,
Too much cotton in our sacks
So we have none on our backs
There is mean things happening in this land

There is mean things happening in this land
There is mean things happening in this land,
Lots of groceries on the shelves,
but we have none for ourselves
There is mean things happening in this land

There is mean things happening in this land
There is mean things happening in this land,
But when workers all refuse
to be blinded and abused,
There’ll be GOOD things happening
in this land

There’ll be GOOD things happening
in this land
There’ll be GOOD things happening
in this land
When the workers take a stand
and unite in a solid band,
There’ll be GOOD things happening
in this land
