Tuli sings a short poem by the father of singing poetry Vachel Lindsay about the violent hatred exploited factory workers feel for their jobs:

FACTORY windows are always broken. 
Somebody's always throwing bricks, 
Somebody's always heaving cinders, 
Playing ugly Yahoo tricks. 

Factory windows are always broken. 
Other windows are let alone. 
No one throws through the chapel-window 
The bitter, snarling, derisive stone. 

Factory windows are always broken. 
Something or other is going wrong. 
Something is rotten--I think, in Denmark. 
End of factory-window song.

At the Brecht Forum, February 1990, accompanied by Steven Taylor.

Same observation made by Jacques Brel in Belgium or France, 1955,
"Il Pleut"

"Il pleut

Les carreaux de l'usine

Y'en a beaucoup de cassés"

I was about to mention that you forgot Steven but then read the post more carefully.

RIP, Tuli.
