《Sunday Lord》歌词

[00:00:00] Sunday Lord - Jared Mees & The Grown Children

[00:00:31] Well they would play spite and malice in saint angelo and dallas

[00:00:39] Both sides of my family both playing the same game

[00:00:46] Between 8:30 and 10 after supper before bed

[00:00:53] It was a good way to relax and it didn't cost a thing

[00:01:06] Cause the tendency of my lineage and kin on both sides of my family

[00:01:16] Was to burn it at both ends

[00:01:20] And when they burned it all down to nothing

[00:01:27] It was time to stop messing around and start all over again

[00:01:35] And they did it monday for the family

[00:01:40] And tuesday for the money

[00:01:44] And wednesday for that twenty acre crop

[00:01:50] And they did it thursday and friday so they'd feel right

[00:01:54] About going out on saturday night

[00:01:58] And sunday lord because they couldn't stop

[00:02:05] Like my father and my father's father and his old man too

[00:02:12] Got more done in an hour than most men the whole day do

[00:02:20] But they must have made a deal with that specter in the fields

[00:02:27] Just let us feed our families and we'll work our whole lives for you

[00:02:35] Cause there was one two three four little mouths to feed

[00:02:42] And there was four five six seven workdays in a week

[00:02:50] And before the morning lights they would have breakfast on

[00:02:57] Because only lazy bones get up at the break of dawn

[00:03:05] And they did it monday for the family

[00:03:10] And tuesday for the money

[00:03:14] And wednesday for that twenty acre crop

[00:03:20] And they did it thursday and friday so they'd be able to supper

[00:03:25] On saturday's dinner table

[00:03:28] And sunday lord because they couldn't stop

[00:03:35] Now the other half in the city was just as hard and gritty

[00:03:42] But instead of planting seeds they were signing deeds and making loans

[00:03:49] And though their bodies weren't taking the beatin'

[00:03:53] It was all just to keep the family eatin'

[00:03:56] They'd spend long nights punching numbers in that back office all alone

[00:04:05] Because that one two three four percent interest rate

[00:04:10] They were chargin' translated to the most razor thin of profit margins

[00:04:20] And an overhead fluorescent bulb can be as cruel as the sun

[00:04:27] But they would take it in the stomach

[00:04:30] When there was a job to be done

[00:04:35] And they did it monday for the family

[00:04:40] And tuesday for the money

[00:04:43] And wednesday for that small savings and loan

[00:04:50] And on thursday and friday they ducked their heads

[00:04:54] So that could spend saturday night with friends

[00:04:58] And sunday lord they did it all alone

[00:05:05] Yeah sunday lord they did it all alone
