《It’s Alright Ma (I’m Only Bleeding)》歌词

[00:00:00] It's Alright Ma (I'm Only Bleeding) - Caetano Veloso

[00:00:03] Darkness at the break of noon

[00:00:06] Shadows even the silver spoon

[00:00:09] The handmade blade the child's balloon

[00:00:12] Eclipses both the sun and moon

[00:00:15] To understand you know too soon

[00:00:18] There is no sense in trying

[00:00:22] Pointed threats they bluff with scorn

[00:00:25] Suicide remarks are torn

[00:00:28] From the fool's gold mouthpiece the hollow horn

[00:00:31] Plays wasted words proves to warn

[00:00:34] That he not busy being born

[00:00:37] Is busy dying

[00:00:40] Temptation's page flies out the door

[00:00:43] You follow find yourself at war

[00:00:46] Watch waterfalls of pity roar

[00:00:49] You feel to moan but unlike before

[00:00:52] You discover that you'd just be one more person crying

[00:00:58] So don't fear if you hear

[00:01:04] A foreign sound to your ear

[00:01:11] It's alright Ma

[00:01:15] I'm only sighing

[00:01:22] As some warn victory some downfall

[00:01:25] Private reasons great or small

[00:01:28] Can be seen in the eyes of those that call

[00:01:31] To make all that should be killed to crawl

[00:01:34] While others say don't hate nothing at all except hatred

[00:01:40] Disillusioned words like bullets bark

[00:01:43] As human gods aim for their mark

[00:01:46] Make everything from toy guns that spark

[00:01:49] To flesh-colored Christs that glow in the dark

[00:01:52] It's easy to see without looking too far

[00:01:55] That not much is really sacred

[00:01:59] While preachers preach of evil fates

[00:02:02] Teachers teach that knowledge waits

[00:02:05] Can lead to hundred dollar plates

[00:02:08] Goodness hides behind it's gates

[00:02:11] But even the president of the United States

[00:02:14] Sometimes must have to stand naked

[00:02:18] And though the rules of the road have been lodged

[00:02:24] It's only people's games that you got to dodge

[00:02:31] And it's alright Ma

[00:02:36] I can make it

[00:02:42] Advertising signs that con

[00:02:44] You into thinking you are the one

[00:02:48] That can do what's never been done

[00:02:51] That can win what's never been won

[00:02:53] Meantime life outside goes on all around you

[00:03:00] You lose yourself you reappear

[00:03:03] You suddenly find you got nothing to fear

[00:03:06] Alone you stand with nobody near

[00:03:09] When a trembling distant voice unclear

[00:03:12] Startles your sleeping ears to hear

[00:03:15] That somebody thinks they really found you

[00:03:20] A question in your nerves is lit

[00:03:22] Yet you know there is no answer to fit

[00:03:25] To satisfy insure you not to quit

[00:03:29] To keep it in your mind and not forget

[00:03:31] That it's not he or she or them

[00:03:34] Or it that you belong to

[00:03:37] Although the masters make the rules

[00:03:43] For the wise men and the fools

[00:03:50] I got nothing Ma

[00:03:54] To live up to

[00:04:01] Old lady judges watch people in pairs

[00:04:04] Limited in sex they dare

[00:04:07] To push fake morals insult and stare

[00:04:10] While money doesn't talk it swears

[00:04:13] Obscenity who really cares

[00:04:15] Propaganda all is phony

[00:04:21] While them that defend what they cannot see

[00:04:23] With a killer's pride security

[00:04:26] It blows the minds most bitterly

[00:04:30] For them that think death's honesty

[00:04:32] Won't fall upon them naturally

[00:04:35] Life sometimes must get lonely

[00:04:40] My eyes collide head-on with stuffed

[00:04:44] Graveyards false gods I scuff

[00:04:47] At pettiness which plays so rough

[00:04:50] Walk upside-down inside handcuffs

[00:04:52] Kick my legs to crash it off

[00:04:54] Say "Okay I've had enough

[00:04:57] What else can you show me "

[00:05:00] And if my thought-dreams could be seen

[00:05:06] They'd probably put my head in a guillotine

[00:05:13] But it's alright Ma

[00:05:18] It's life and life only
