I'm not sure why you transllated the german entry for an american song, but FYI, there's an english wikipedia version. "I owe my soul to the company store" is one of the greatest lyrics ever.

- kragen 1y agoMany German Wikipedia articles are better than the English versions. Maybe this is one of them.
- doener 1y agoI don‘t know if "better“, but when I read Doctorow‘s blog article I was reminded of what I read about the 16 tons song on Wikipedia. I first read the English version and did not find what I was looking for. Then I tried German and there it was.
- doener 1y agoYes, I know. I read it and the information I translated from the German article was not in the English version.
