elie siegmeister - john reed lyrics
john reed was an honest man, knew right from wrong
his heart was with the people, said, “that’s where i belong.”
he saw the homes of workingmen
he heard their children cry
in patterson he saw them starve, in ludlow saw them die
john reed saw trouble in the making
john reed saw tyranny’s face
john reed knew a storm was breaking
and he said to himself
“there’s my place!”
john reed was a writing man, wrote what he saw
he saw a fight for freedom, just like our freedom war
for ten long days that shook the world
while some were writing lies
he wrote with honest hand and heart what he saw with honest eyes
john reed saw freedom in the making
john reed saw tyranny’s face
john reed saw a new day breaking
and he wrote what he saw
that was all
