《Social Studies》歌词

[00:00:00] Social Studies - David Byrne

[00:00:36] I thought that if I ate the food

[00:00:38] Of the area I was visiting

[00:00:41] That I might assimilate the point

[00:00:43] Of view of the people there

[00:00:45] As if the point of view was somehow in the food

[00:00:54] So I would make no choices myself

[00:00:57] Regarding what food I ate

[00:01:02] I would simply follow the examples

[00:01:06] Of those around me

[00:01:11] I would study menus very carefully

[00:01:16] Making note of important differences and similarities

[00:01:29] When shopping at the supermarket

[00:01:33] I felt a great desire to walk off

[00:01:35] With someone else's groceries

[00:01:38] So I could study them at length

[00:01:42] And study their effects on me

[00:01:46] As though if I ate their groceries

[00:01:51] I would become that person until

[00:01:55] I finished their groceries

[00:02:04] And we might find ourselves going to the same places

[00:02:09] Running into one another at the

[00:02:10] Movies or in a shopping mall

[00:02:14] Reading the same books watching

[00:02:18] The same TV programs

[00:02:22] Wearing the same clothes traveling

[00:02:26] To the same places

[00:02:28] And taking the same pictures getting

[00:02:32] Sick at the same time

[00:02:35] And getting well again simultaneously

[00:02:39] Finding ourselves attracted to the same people

[00:02:44] Working at the same job and

[00:02:47] Making the same amount of money

[00:02:50] Living identical lives as long as the groceries lasted
