《Ballad(2005 Remaster)》歌词

[00:00:00] Ballad (2005 Remastered Version) - New Model Army

[00:00:16] When they look back at us

[00:00:18] And they write down their history

[00:00:21] What will they say about our generation

[00:00:24] We're the ones who knew everything

[00:00:26] And still we did nothing

[00:00:29] Harvested everything planted nothing

[00:00:40] Well we live pretty well

[00:00:43] In the wake of the goldrush

[00:00:45] Floating in comfort on waves of our apathy

[00:00:49] Quietly gnawing away at her body

[00:00:53] Until we mortgage the future

[00:00:55] Bury our children

[00:00:57] Storehouses full with the fruits

[00:01:00] We've been given

[00:01:01] We send off the scrag ends

[00:01:03] To suckle the starving

[00:01:05] But still we can't feed

[00:01:07] This strange hunger inside

[00:01:10] Greedy restless and unsatisfied

[00:01:51] I was never much one

[00:01:53] The great big bang theory

[00:01:55] Going out in a blaze of suicidal glory

[00:01:59] Not foolish and brave

[00:02:01] These leaders of ours

[00:02:03] Just stupid and petty unworthy of power

[00:02:07] Just a little leak here and a small error there

[00:02:12] Another square mile poisoned forever

[00:02:16] A series of sad and pathetic little fizzles

[00:02:20] And out go the lights never to return

[00:02:28] The affair it is over the passion is dead

[00:02:33] She stares at us now with ice in her eyes

[00:02:37] But we turn away from these bitter reproaches

[00:02:42] And take up distractions

[00:02:43] To forget what we're doing

[00:03:08] When I stand on these hills

[00:03:11] And I watch her at night

[00:03:13] A thousands square miles

[00:03:15] A million orange lights

[00:03:17] Wounded and scarred she lies silent in pain

[00:03:22] Raped and betrayed in the cold acid rain

[00:03:25] Now I wish now wish now wish now

[00:03:31] We could start over again

[00:03:33] Yes now I wish now wish now

[00:03:41] We could win back her love once again
