《Standing Up For Nothing》歌词

[00:00:00] Standing Up For Nothing - Caedmon's Call

[00:00:10] I can't stop staring at myself;

[00:00:14] My face reflected in this empty plate

[00:00:18] I can't decide if it's the devil

[00:00:22] Or if it's just something I ate

[00:00:27] 'Cause he's been down there all morning

[00:00:31] He's patiently waiting at my gate

[00:00:35] He's throwing rocks at my window

[00:00:40] Hey won't you come on out and play with me

[00:00:48] But everyday when I get up

[00:00:52] I see folks trading in their crowns

[00:00:56] For all these paper or plastic lives;

[00:01:00] Opiate for the masses hounds

[00:01:05] And pride like a vestige of lives lost

[00:01:09] It's the stench of the old folks coming 'round

[00:01:14] Now with the news I heard today

[00:01:18] I can't tell if this world is lost or found

[00:01:23] You go; I'll be waiting here

[00:01:31] And I'm awake no I cannot sleep

[00:01:40] So I'll sit upon this rock is you

[00:01:48] I ain't standing up for nothing

[00:02:01] I've never seen my congressman

[00:02:05] But I can't deny that he exists

[00:02:09] 'Cause I've seen his legislation pass;

[00:02:13] I've seen his name on the ballot list

[00:02:17] Same I can't deny this fallen world

[00:02:22] Though not my home it's where I live

[00:02:26] How can I preserve and light the way

[00:02:30] For a world that I can't admit I'm in

[00:02:35] 'Cause I know who I say You are

[00:02:44] But these crows can't be made to stop

[00:02:52] So I'll sit denying by this fire

[00:03:01] I ain't standing up for nothing

[00:03:09] Lack of interest leads to

[00:03:13] Lack of knowledge leads to

[00:03:17] Lack of perspective leads to

[00:03:22] Lack of communication leads to

[00:03:26] Lack of understanding leads to

[00:03:30] Lack of concern leads to

[00:03:35] This complacency denotes

[00:03:38] This approval denies

[00:03:42] The truth

[00:03:47] But I can't stop staring at myself;

[00:03:51] It's my face reflected in this empty plate

[00:03:56] And I know that it's the devil

[00:04:05] So you lead; and I'll be close behind

[00:04:13] So you speak and I'll hang on your words

[00:04:22] You've got to lift me from this hardened tree

[00:04:30] 'Cause I ain't standing up for nothing

[00:04:41] Nothing
