《The New Wild West》歌词

[00:00:00] New Wild West (Album Version) - Jewel

[00:00:17] You see the ghosts of the buffalo

[00:00:19] Moving both fierce and slow

[00:00:21] Like glittering prophesies

[00:00:24] On the edge of the horizon

[00:00:29] As you drive glittering highways

[00:00:32] And beaten-up by-ways

[00:00:34] That straddle and girdle

[00:00:36] A great and many-faced nation

[00:00:42] There are lambs in the ghettos

[00:00:44] Who worship their Gapettos

[00:00:46] Believing in though never seeing

[00:00:49] The strings they think bind them

[00:00:54] So you write to our congressmen

[00:00:57] With bleeding pens

[00:00:59] Of the sorrow within

[00:01:01] And in return they just send

[00:01:03] Tickets to the latest Tom Hanks show

[00:01:10] Welcome to the new wild west

[00:01:19] Each man for himself

[00:01:28] Civilized steeples

[00:01:31] And lonely people

[00:01:35] Welcome to the new wild west

[00:01:43] There are so many fractions

[00:01:46] And cue-card reactions

[00:01:48] It's hard to keep clear

[00:01:50] The possibilities here

[00:01:52] 'Cause there's no force to unite them

[00:01:59] Privilege has ruled for thousands of years

[00:02:03] Wars have been fought with bibles and tears

[00:02:07] Yet liberation can't deny the temptation

[00:02:10] And soon becomes the oppressor

[00:02:16] Show me a leader who's fit to lead

[00:02:20] Who don't sew his seed in anything

[00:02:22] Wounded enough to breed

[00:02:24] Because after all what fun is power

[00:02:26] If you can't act like a rock star

[00:02:33] Welcome to the new wild west

[00:02:42] Each man for himself

[00:02:51] Civilized steeples

[00:02:53] And lonely people

[00:02:58] Welcome to the new

[00:03:21] I've been petty and unkind

[00:03:25] But I know my own mind

[00:03:27] And since it seems clear

[00:03:29] There's no one leading us here

[00:03:31] The only thing left it appears

[00:03:33] Is to task ourselves to be better each time

[00:03:37] Then those before us

[00:03:40] We'll be an army of theives

[00:03:43] Of self-freed slaves

[00:03:45] Of mild-mannered maids

[00:03:46] We'll fight with whispers and blades

[00:03:48] So get ready a new day is dawning

[00:03:57] Welcome to the new wild west

[00:04:07] Each man for himself

[00:04:15] A nation of civilized steeples

[00:04:18] And lonely people

[00:04:23] Welcome to the new wild west
