《Ruins of the Realm》歌词

[00:00:00] Ruins of the Realm - James Mcmurtry

[00:00:09] Standin' in the middle of a roman street

[00:00:15] Marble dust all over my feet

[00:00:19] Bearded masses at the gates

[00:00:24] Dancin' in the ruins while it's not too late

[00:00:40] Drivin' a rolls through old bombay

[00:00:45] Rickshaw drivers in my way

[00:00:49] Well they better move over

[00:00:50] And they'd better move fast

[00:00:55] Dancin' in the ruins of a golden past

[00:00:59] Dancin' in the ruins of the raj

[00:01:02] Queen and country's noble cause

[00:01:18] Standin' on banks of the river Seine

[00:01:23] I ain't got tuppence to my name

[00:01:27] Stand my ground and I cast my net

[00:01:33] Dancin' in the ruins where the sun don't set

[00:01:37] Dancin' in the ruins of the crown

[00:01:40] Enfield rifles keepin' us down

[00:02:07] I got a thirty ought six and a premium load

[00:02:12] In a shotgun shack on a two lane road

[00:02:16] Smack in the middle of the bible belt

[00:02:22] Dancin' in the ruins all by myself

[00:02:26] We got the national guard with the bayonets

[00:02:31] We got the ten commandments

[00:02:33] On the state house steps

[00:02:35] We shalt not steal and we shalt not kill

[00:02:41] Dancin' in the ruins of our own free will

[00:02:45] Dancin' in the ruins of the south

[00:02:48] Confederate flag taped over my mouth

[00:03:04] We thank thee lord for all we got

[00:03:09] While the military nationals call the shots

[00:03:13] So scrape them hides and clean that slate

[00:03:19] Dancin' in the ruins of the nation state

[00:03:23] We'll fight them in the land

[00:03:24] We'll fight them in the air

[00:03:28] Well a cowboy says

[00:03:29] We got to fight them over there

[00:03:32] He ain't seen nothing like it since saigon fell

[00:03:38] Dancin' in the ruins 'cause we might as well

[00:03:42] Dancin' in the ruins of the realm

[00:03:44] A fool and a mad man at the helm

[00:03:49] Dancin' in the ruins of the reich

[00:03:52] Down in the bunker on a hunger strike
