《There Will Be a Reckoning》歌词

[00:00:00] There Will Be a Reckoning - Billy Bragg

[00:00:02]

[00:00:08] Somewhere between the midnight

[00:00:12] And the cold and empty dawn

[00:00:17] I found myself out walking

[00:00:20] On the streets where I was born

[00:00:24] And I came upon a stranger

[00:00:29] Who looked me in the face

[00:00:32] And asked me what I was doing

[00:00:37] In this god forsaken place

[00:00:40]

[00:00:41] I don't need to be forgiven

[00:00:45] For something I haven't done

[00:00:50] Not for wanting my family

[00:00:54] To find their place in the sun

[00:00:59] If you keep this pressure on

[00:01:03] Just don't be surprised

[00:01:06] If I can't summon up my dignity

[00:01:11] While you're roughing up my pride

[00:01:14]

[00:01:14] There will be a reckoning

[00:01:17] For the peddlers of hate

[00:01:19] Who spread their poison all across this estate

[00:01:22] And a reckoning too for the politicians who

[00:01:28] Left us to this fate

[00:01:31] There will be a reckoning

[00:01:33]

[00:01:40] Just a few days later a man came to my door

[00:01:48] To ask me if I thought that

[00:01:52] This place was worth fighting for

[00:01:56] And though I recognize his reasons

[00:02:01] I just could not agree

[00:02:05] When they told me that my neighbor

[00:02:09] Would be my enemy

[00:02:12]

[00:02:13] I don't need to be forgiven

[00:02:17] For something I haven't done

[00:02:21] Not for wanting my family

[00:02:25] To find their place in the sun

[00:02:31] If you keep this pressure on

[00:02:34] Just don't be surprised

[00:02:38] If I can't summon up my dignity

[00:02:42] While you're roughing up my pride

[00:02:46]

[00:02:47] There will be a reckoning

[00:02:49] For the peddlers of hate

[00:02:51] Who spread their poison all across this estate

[00:02:55] And a reckoning too for the politicians who

[00:02:59] Left us to this fate

[00:03:03] There will be a reckoning

[00:03:07] There will be a reckoning

[00:03:11] There will be a reckoning

[00:03:15] There will be a reckoning
