《Back On The Street》歌词

[00:00:00] Back On The Street - Utopia

[00:00:01] Written by：Todd Rundgren

[00:00:08] They tell me I've paid back the debt I owed

[00:00:13] Forty four months since the slammer door closed

[00:00:17] They give me a suit and put me back on

[00:00:20] The road

[00:00:20] And my thoughts are racing

[00:00:26] Where do I go what am I supposed to live

[00:00:29] On

[00:00:30] What happens when the twenty five dollars is gone

[00:00:34] That leaves me lots of time to wonder why I

[00:00:37] Was born

[00:00:38] But the countdown is on

[00:00:42] Everybody's dancing

[00:00:44] The music sounds entrancing but you can't find the beat

[00:00:50] It's the ticking of a thousand human time bombs

[00:00:54] Who are back on the street

[00:00:58] Oh the names have been changed but the story's the

[00:01:01] Same

[00:01:02] History will repeat

[00:01:07] Add it all up and then divide it by zero

[00:01:10] 'Cause you're back on the street

[00:01:17] I can't stand the strain of this job no more

[00:01:21] I must have forgot what I took it on for

[00:01:25] I make lots of money yet still I want more

[00:01:29] And my head is blazing

[00:01:34] I think that I'll check out the shops downtown

[00:01:38] Sometimes it helps to buy things when I feel brought

[00:01:42] Down

[00:01:43] At this hour I might dodge those hippie low life's

[00:01:45] Around

[00:01:46] But the countdown is on

[00:01:51] Once you had to stand out looking for a handout

[00:01:54] Free love and body heat

[00:01:58] And that money's just a crumpled green ball in your

[00:02:01] Pocket

[00:02:02] When you're back on the street

[00:02:06] Oh the names have been changed but the story's the

[00:02:09] Same

[00:02:11] History will repeat

[00:02:15] Add it all up and then divide it by zero

[00:02:18] 'Cause you're back on the street

[00:02:23] Back on the street again

[00:02:26] Said you're back on the street again

[00:02:31] The countdown is on

[00:02:33] And nobody knows when

[00:03:21] Spreading like a cancer

[00:03:23] Looking for the answer in everyone you meet

[00:03:29] And each in his way has a hustle to play

[00:03:32] When he's back on the street

[00:03:37] Oh the names have been changed but the story's the

[00:03:40] Same

[00:03:41] History will repeat

[00:03:45] Add it all up and then divide it by zero

[00:03:49] 'Cause you're back on the street

[00:03:53] Back on the street again

[00:03:57] Said you're back on the street again

[00:04:01] The countdown is on

[00:04:03] And nobody knows when
