《Bread And Circuses(Remastered Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] Bread And Circuses (Remastered Album Version) - Billy Bragg/Natalie Merchant (娜坦莉·莫森特)

[00:00:05] Crowds gather 'round kneeling

[00:00:08] At the feet of common thieves

[00:00:14] Hungry for the word but God

[00:00:17] Would never speak through such as these

[00:00:21] Such as these

[00:00:23] Who offer healing hands and balms

[00:00:28] And redemption a few would cross their palms

[00:00:33] They'll tell your troubles to the Lord

[00:00:38] For how ever much you can afford

[00:00:47] Hands holding hands

[00:00:49] In the circle of the sinners and the saints

[00:00:57] Memories that linger from the cradle

[00:00:59] Placing puzzles in the grave

[00:01:03] In the grave

[00:01:06] No mortal skin and bone

[00:01:11] Can live on bread and circuses alone

[00:01:15] The spirit needs must drive

[00:01:20] The mystery of why you're alive

[00:01:30] They look in their Book and they read

[00:01:34] But their cold hearts say "Follow me"

[00:01:44] Dance in the dust

[00:01:46] In the frenzy of the desperately in need

[00:01:53] Led by the voices of the men who invoke

[00:01:57] Ritual to hide their greed

[00:02:00] Hide their greed

[00:02:03] Come every tongue every eye across

[00:02:08] The crumbling earth and cracking skies

[00:02:12] The gates of hell stand open wide

[00:02:18] But the path of glory you walk single file

[00:02:27] They look in their book and they read

[00:02:31] But their cold hearts say "Follow me"

[00:02:41] These men make a cage for the very souls

[00:02:44] That came here to be freed

[00:02:51] They turn off their lights for their tents

[00:02:54] They're fixing to leave

[00:03:14] "Follow me"

[00:03:24] They look in their Book and they read

[00:03:28] But their cold hearts say "Follow me"

[00:03:42] They look in their Book and they read

[00:03:47] But their cold hearts say "Follow me"

[00:04:01] They'll close up their Books and leave

[00:04:10] You remain still in pain
