《Ballad》歌词

[00:00:00] Ballad - New Model Army

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

[00:00:19] And they write down their history

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

[00:00:25] We're the ones who knew

[00:00:26] Everything and still we did nothing

[00:00:29] Harvested everything planted nothing

[00:00:40] Well we live pretty well 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 bury our children

[00:00:57] Storehouses full with the fruits we've been given

[00:01:01] We send off the scrag ends to suckle the starving

[00:01:05] But still we can't feed this strange hunger inside

[00:01:10] Greedy restless and unsatisfied

[00:01:51] I was never much one for the great big bang theory

[00:01:56] Going out in a blaze of suicidal glory

[00:02:00] Not foolish and brave these leaders of ours

[00:02:04] 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

[00:02:29] 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 to

[00:02:43] Forget what we're doing

[00:03:08] I stand on these hills and I watch her at night

[00:03:13] A thousands square miles a million orange lights

[00:03:18] Wounded and scarred she lies silent in pain

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

[00:03:25] And I wish and I wish and I wish and I wish

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

[00:03:34] Yes I wish and I wish and I wish

[00:03:42] We could win her back love once again
