Luyện nghe bài hát When Rhetoric Dies

We raise the flags and to our mission
spoken out in slogans and in campaigns
Talked and talked on every issue
Where oppression of the masses is the theme

But what does this mean to a little in Iowa
Where the jobs have gone downstream down and out?
Where their fingers used to to the bone all day
Profits and fall and starvation is a game

Where is the food that to cover their table?
Where is the sense of at the end of the day to the face
Of a thriving corporation, could a dying family possibly say
On the of every American worker

Is the constant fear that their job remain
As the C.E.O. is his vacation
To kill or be killed is the nature of the
Stand in line a number you sell your soul

Then watch it crumble into a of rubble that used to be
Your job, life, your family's daily bread dry
And stale kids
The house is for a degrading bid
Do we continue to talk or do we take a hammer to chains
