The Song of the Shirt!

After reading the lyrics for "The Song of the Shirt," life seemed to be harsh. It didn´t sound like a very comfortable environment! Poverty seemed to be a big deal in the life of textile workers, you can easily tell this by the way the describe their physical features, and how they were always hungry. This reminded them as being slaves, they basically had no other option but this. Workers had to work from morning when the sun came out to night when stars and moon were the only source of light, it was work, work, work, hardly any break. They really had no other choice, not many options for people back then but factories. People were also said to be in terrible shape, they starved and worked their lives out.
