《One Million Lawyers (Live)》歌词

[00:00:03] ONE MILLION LAWYERS

[00:00:04] By Tom Paxton

[00:00:05] Humankind has survived some disasters I'm sure

[00:00:07] Like locusts and flash floods and flu

[00:00:10] There's never a moment when we've been secure

[00:00:14] From the ills that the flesh is heir to

[00:00:17] If it isn't a war it's some gruesome disease

[00:00:20] If it isn't disease then it's war

[00:00:24] But there's worse still to come and I'm asking you please

[00:00:27] How the world's gonna take any more

[00:00:31] In ten years we're gonna have one million lawyers

[00:00:35] One million lawyers one million lawyers

[00:00:38] In ten years we're gonna have one million lawyers

[00:00:41] How much can a poor nation stand

[00:00:48] The world shook with dread of Atilla the Hun

[00:00:51] As he conquered with fire and steel

[00:00:55] And Genghis and Kubla and all of the Kahns

[00:00:58] Ground a groaning world under the heel

[00:01:01] Disaster disaster so what else is new

[00:01:05] We've suffered the worst and then some

[00:01:08] So I'm sorry to tell you my suffering friends

[00:01:12] Of the terrible scourge still to come

[00:01:18] CHORUS

[00:01:19] BREAK

[00:01:21] Oh a suffering world cries for mercy

[00:01:31] As far as the eye can see

[00:01:36] Lawyers around every bend in the road

[00:01:40] Laywers in every tree

[00:01:43] Lawyers in restaurants lawyers in clubs

[00:01:46] Lawyers behind every door

[00:01:49] Behind windows and potted plants shade trees and shrubs

[00:01:53] Lawyers on pogo sticks lawyers in politics

[00:02:01] CHORUS

[00:02:02] In spring there's tornadoes and rampaging floods

[00:02:20] In summer it's heat stroke and draught

[00:02:24] There's Ivy League football to ruin the fall

[00:02:27] It's a terrible scourge without doubt

[00:02:30] There are blizzards to batter the shivering plain

[00:02:34] There are dust storms that strike but far worse

[00:02:37] Is the threat of disaster to shrivel the brain

[00:02:40] It's the threat of implacable curse

[00:02:44] In ten years we're gonna have one million lawyers

[00:02:48] One million lawyers one million lawyers

[00:02:51] In ten years we're gonna have one million lawyers

[00:02:54] How much can a poor nation stand

[00:02:58] How much can a poor nation stand
