《Broken Promise Land》歌词

[00:00:01] Broken Promise Land - Elvis Costello

[00:00:20] There's a place

[00:00:21] Where words mean nothing or much less

[00:00:26] Such a disgrace

[00:00:29] We got to get out of this mess

[00:00:32] Coming in under the cover of darkness

[00:00:37] How high shall we build this wall

[00:00:40] I could've said more but it would've seemed heartless

[00:00:44] How hard did I slam that door

[00:00:49] I swore I'd never walk away

[00:00:53] Until I saw this day

[00:00:56] It didn't turn out the way we planned

[00:01:00] Now I'm living in

[00:01:02] Broken Promise Land

[00:01:14] Broken Promise Land

[00:01:27] There's a town I know

[00:01:29] Has a strange resemblance to Jericho

[00:01:35] Even though

[00:01:37] Seven horns are getting ready to blow

[00:01:40] Coming in under the cover of darkness

[00:01:44] How high shall we build this wall

[00:01:48] Could've said more but it would've seemed heartless

[00:01:52] How tight shall we close that door

[00:01:56] They only claimed to be redeemed

[00:02:00] They take that name and then blaspheme

[00:02:04] It didn't turn out the way we planned

[00:02:08] Now I'm living in

[00:02:09] Broken Promise Land

[00:02:21] Broken Promise Land

[00:02:50] There's a place

[00:02:51] Where infidels and showgirls meet

[00:02:57] Such a disgrace

[00:03:00] Wedding bells crumble in the street

[00:03:03] Coming in under the cover of darkness

[00:03:07] How high shall we build this wall

[00:03:11] I could've said more but it would've seemed heartless

[00:03:15] How tight shall we shut that door

[00:03:19] In the name of the Father and the Son

[00:03:23] In the name of gasoline and a gun

[00:03:27] It didn't turn out the way we planned

[00:03:31] Now I'm living in

[00:03:32] Broken Promise Land

[00:03:44] Broken Promise Land
