《Hello Birmingham》歌词

[00:00:00] Hello Birmingham - Ani Difranco (安妮·迪弗兰科)

[00:00:41] Hold me down

[00:00:46] I am floating away

[00:00:53] Into the overcast skies

[00:00:55] Over my home town

[00:00:58] On election day

[00:01:04] What is it about Birmingham

[00:01:11] What is it about buffalo

[00:01:16] Did the hate filled want to build bunkers

[00:01:20] In your beautiful red earth

[00:01:23] They want to build them in our shiny white snow

[00:01:27] And now I've drawn closed the curtains

[00:01:33] In this little booth

[00:01:35] Where the truth has no place to stand

[00:01:39] And I am feeling oh so powerless

[00:01:44] In this stupid booth

[00:01:46] With this useless little lever in my hand

[00:01:50] And outside

[00:01:52] My city is bracing

[00:01:54] For the next killing thing

[00:01:57] Standing by the bridge

[00:01:59] And praying for the next doctor Martin Luther king

[00:02:17] It was just one shot

[00:02:23] Through the kitchen window

[00:02:29] Just one or two miles from here

[00:02:34] If you fly like a crow

[00:02:42] A bullet came to visit a doctor

[00:02:46] In his one safe place

[00:02:53] A bullet ensuring the right to life

[00:02:56] Whizzed past his kid and his wife

[00:02:59] And knocked his glasses right off of his face

[00:03:03] And the blood poured off the pulpit

[00:03:09] Yeah the blood poured down the picket lines

[00:03:15] And the hatred was immediate yeah

[00:03:20] And the vengeance was divine

[00:03:27] So they went and stuffed god down the barrel of

[00:03:32] A gun

[00:03:34] And after him they stuffed his only son

[00:03:56] Hello Birmingham it's buffalo

[00:04:07] I heard you had some trouble down there again

[00:04:13] Just calling to let to know

[00:04:14] That somebody understands

[00:04:18] I was once escorted

[00:04:20] Through the doors

[00:04:22] Of a clinic

[00:04:23] By a man

[00:04:24] In a bulletproof vest

[00:04:28] And no bombs

[00:04:30] Went off that day

[00:04:32] So I am still here to say

[00:04:35] Birmingham

[00:04:36] I'm wishing you all of my best

[00:04:40] Oh Birmingham

[00:04:42] I'm wishing you all of my best

[00:04:46] Oh Birmingham

[00:04:48] I'm wishing you all of my best

[00:04:52] On this election day
