以下是歌词
When you over in American Samoa, what…what surprised you the most?
   当你到了美国的萨摩亚，什么..什么让你最吃惊？
- I guess what hit me the most is the condition of the factory that the workers were in:
   我想打击我最深的是劳工们所处的工厂里条件：
The factory was surrounded by a fence and barbed wire on top and on the bottom.
   整个工厂被栅栏，铁丝网从上到下团团围住.
And they have a chain-linked fence surround the whole factory and, and dormitory compound.
他们还整了个链锁的栅栏把整个工厂，集体宿舍院围住.
The gate has a…has a guard shack, where the guard sit there and control the worker movement in and out of the.. of the factory
大门那儿还有..有个警卫室,警卫坐在里面,管着劳工们从工厂的进出.
- The factory are made of ahm.. tin panels with tin roof. It’s really hot.
   工厂是由嗯..锡板建的，还有锡顶.实在是热得不得了.
The temperature over there is verily ninety degrees and inside the factory or the dormitory it reaches way over a hundred degrees.
   那儿的真实温度有90度，而在工厂或宿舍里面，升得到100度以上.
