《Cement Octopus》歌词

[00:00:01] Cement Octopus-Pete Seeger

[00:00:06] There＇s a cement octopus sits in Sacramento I think

[00:00:12] Gets red tape to eat gasoline taxes to drin

[00:00:18] And it grows by day and it grows by night

[00:00:21] And it rolls over everything in sight

[00:00:24] Oh stand by me and protect that tree

[00:00:27] From the freeway misery

[00:00:32] Who knows how the monster started to grow that way;

[00:00:38] Its parents are frightened and wish it would go away

[00:00:44] But the taxes keep coming they have to be spent

[00:00:48] On big bull dozers and tanks of cement

[00:00:51] Oh stand by me and protect that tree

[00:00:53] From the freeway misery

[00:00:59] Dear old MacLaren won＇t take this lying down

[00:01:04] We can hear his spirit move in the sandy ground

[00:01:10] He built this Eden on the duney plain

[00:01:14] Now they＇re making it a concrete desert again

[00:01:17] Oh stand by me and protect that tree

[00:01:20] From the freeway misery

[00:01:26] The men on the highways need those jobs we know

[00:01:32] Lets put them to work planting new trees to grow

[00:01:39] Building new parks where kids can play

[00:01:42] Pushing that cement monster away

[00:01:45] Oh stand by me and protect that tree

[00:01:48] From the freeway misery

[00:01:50] There's a cement octopus sits in Sacramento I think

[00:01:57] Gets red tape to eat gasoline taxes to drin

[00:02:03] And it grows by day and it grows by night

[00:02:06] And it rolls over everything in sight

[00:02:09] Oh stand by me and protect that tree
