《A Moment of Silence》歌词

[00:00:00] A Moment Of Silence - Streetlight Manifesto

[00:00:01] Written by：Paul Simon

[00:00:26] A moment of silence please for those that never get the chance

[00:00:30] They show up to the party but they're never asked to dance

[00:00:33] The losers the liars the bastards the thieves

[00:00:36] The cynicists the pessimists and those that don't believe in nothing

[00:00:51] I never met a loser that I didn't see eye to eye with I declare

[00:00:54] I stare into your eyes but you look right past me into the air

[00:00:57] What's it like to stand in your shoes

[00:00:59] To have never felt the belt of somebody's abuse

[00:01:03] I take the bottle and I tip it to all my heroes that have passed

[00:01:06] Alas you have left us but your stories they will last

[00:01:09] Uninspired by the recruiting call

[00:01:11] Independent we stand independent we fall

[00:01:31] So tell me how long do you think you can go

[00:01:35] Before you lose it all

[00:01:37] Before they call your bluff and watch you fall

[00:01:39] I don't know but I'd like to think I had control

[00:01:42] At some point but I let it go and lost my soul

[00:01:45] Sit tight but the revolution's years away

[00:01:48] I'm losing faith and I'm running low on things to say

[00:01:51] So I guess I have no choice but to regurgitate

[00:01:54] The tired anthem of a loser and a hypocrite

[00:01:57] Oh to have died that night I realized it wouldn't last

[00:02:03] Our days were numbered and the reaper tipped the hourglass

[00:02:06] The final mayday of our sinking ship had come and passed

[00:02:09] Oh to the west you don't know what it is you're running from

[00:02:16] And everybody's laughing loud

[00:02:18] Your last chance to make your mother and your father proud

[00:02:47] A moment of silence please for those that never get the chance

[00:02:51] They show up to the party but they're never asked to dance

[00:02:54] The losers the liars the bastards the thieves

[00:02:57] The cynicists the pessimists and those that don't believe in nothing

[00:03:11] They said â a pox upon your house upon your family

[00:03:14] And everyone you ever knew and everyone you'll ever meet

[00:03:18] I bet they think we wish we joined when we could

[00:03:21] But we do what we want we don't do what we should

[00:03:24] Now everybody's laughing because they're thinking

[00:03:25] They're in on something I don't get

[00:03:27] Don't forget I connect and I read every word you said

[00:03:30] Like a child who believes he was wronged

[00:03:33] If you hate me so much then stop singing my songs

[00:03:53] So tell me how long do you think you can go

[00:03:56] Before you lose it all

[00:03:58] Before they call your bluff and watch you fall

[00:04:00] I don't know but I'd like to think I had control

[00:04:03] At some point but I let it go and lost my soul

[00:04:06] Sit tight but the revolution's years away

[00:04:09] I'm losing faith and I'm running low on things to say

[00:04:12] So I guess I have no choice but to regurgitate

[00:04:15] The tired anthem of a loser and a hypocrite

[00:04:18] Oh to have died that night I realized it wouldn't last

[00:04:24] Our days were numbered and the reaper tipped the hourglass

[00:04:27] The final mayday of our sinking ship had come and passed

[00:04:30] Oh to the west you don't know what it is you're running from

[00:04:37] And everybody's laughing loud

[00:04:39] Let's just make the party ground
