《Roosevelt Room》歌词

[00:00:02] Conor Oberst - Roosevelt Room

[00:00:20] Hey there, son of Adam

[00:00:23] Hey there, daughter of Eve

[00:00:26] Help me sing this tear gas riot song

[00:00:28] For some fresh-faced police

[00:00:31] They won't even know what hit them

[00:00:33] When they lift their Roman shades

[00:00:36] And the people's sun comes pouring in

[00:00:38] On a brand new day

[00:00:51] You who dammed the river

[00:00:54] You changed our mountain's name

[00:00:57] First we want Denali back

[00:00:59] Then we're taking over Washington state

[00:01:02] You get death as a consolation

[00:01:04] You know only hate and rage

[00:01:07] You paid a dowry for your child bride

[00:01:09] And now she's living like a slave

[00:01:17] A prayer came down the wire

[00:01:20] It was all in the enemy's code

[00:01:22] You couldn't figure out what mercy meant

[00:01:25] So you did like you were told

[00:01:27] When they finally sent the doctors

[00:01:30] Once the fireball went out

[00:01:33] There was nothing left but the cockroaches

[00:01:35] And a movie with no sound

[00:01:42] What good, what good are you

[00:01:47] With your Cherokee trail and your Roosevelt Room?

[00:01:53] What good, what good are you

[00:01:58] With your cynical plague and your Arlington tomb?

[00:02:11] Go ask Hunter Thompson

[00:02:15] Go ask Hemingway's ghost

[00:02:17] It all catches up with you

[00:02:19] Once you get just a little too old

[00:02:22] Take a hard look in the mirror

[00:02:24] It's a thing that you cannot see

[00:02:27] Your shadow's long but the day is young

[00:02:30] It just wasn't meant to be

[00:02:42] There's no blankets for the winter

[00:02:45] There's no oil in the lamp

[00:02:48] And I'd like to write my congressman

[00:02:50] But I can't afford the stamp

[00:02:53] You want me to pay my taxes

[00:02:56] So you can propagate your lie

[00:02:58] While there's barefoot dudes down in New Orleans

[00:03:01] Looking like they're going to die

[00:03:13] You who quote the legends

[00:03:16] You who poisoned all of my dreams

[00:03:18] You who pinned all of the medals on

[00:03:21] All those boys from Omaha Beach

[00:03:24] Hope you haven't got too lazy

[00:03:26] I know you like your apple pie

[00:03:29] Because the working poor you've been pissing on

[00:03:31] Are doing double shifts tonight

[00:03:39] What good, what good are you

[00:03:44] With your cynical plague and your Arlington tomb?

[00:03:49] What good, what good are you

[00:03:54] With your Cherokee trail and your Roosevelt Room?
