《Garbage》歌词

[00:00:00] Garbage (如果我试着爱她) - Pete Seeger (皮特·西格)

[00:00:05] Mister thompson calls the waiter

[00:00:07] Orders steak and baked potato

[00:00:09] Then he leaves the bone and gristle

[00:00:11] And he never eats the skin

[00:00:15] The busboy comes and takes it

[00:00:17] With a cough contaminates it

[00:00:19] And he puts it in a can with coffee grounds

[00:00:22] And sardine tins

[00:00:25] And the truck comes by on friday and carts it all away

[00:00:30] A thousand trucks just like it are converging on the bay

[00:00:33] Oh garbage garbage garbage garbage

[00:00:36] Garbage garbage garbage garbage

[00:00:38] We're filling up the seas with garbage

[00:00:41] Garbage garbage garbage

[00:00:42] What will we do when there's no place left

[00:00:45] To put all the garbage

[00:00:47] Garbage garbage garbage garbage

[00:00:48] Garbage garbage

[00:00:50] Mr thompson starts his cadillac

[00:00:52] And winds it down the freeway track

[00:00:54] Leaving friends and neighbors in a hydrocarbon haze

[00:01:00] He's joined by lots of smaller cars

[00:01:02] All sending gases to the stars

[00:01:04] There to form a seething cloud that

[00:01:06] Hangs for thirty days

[00:01:10] And the sun licks down into it with an ultraviolet tongue

[00:01:14] Till it turns to smog and then it settles in our lungs

[00:01:18] Oh garbage garbage garbage garbage garbage garbage

[00:01:21] Garbage

[00:01:22] We're filling up the sky with garbage

[00:01:25] Garbage garbage garbage garbage

[00:01:27] Garbage garbage

[00:01:28] What will we do when there's nothing left to breathe but garbage

[00:01:33] Garbage garbage garbage garbage garbage garbage

[00:01:38] Getting home and taking off his shoes

[00:01:40] He settles with the evening news

[00:01:42] While the kids do homework with the tv in one ear

[00:01:47] While superman for thousandth's time sell

[00:01:50] Talking dolls and conquers crime

[00:01:52] They dutifully learn the date of birth of paul revere

[00:01:57] In the paper there's a piece about

[00:01:59] The mayor's middle name

[00:02:01] And he gets it ready in time

[00:02:03] To watch the all star bingo game

[00:02:05] Oh garbage

[00:02:06] Garbage garbage garbage garbage

[00:02:08] Garbage garbage

[00:02:09] We're filling up our minds with garbage

[00:02:12] Garbage garbage garbage garbage garbage garbage

[00:02:15] What will we do when there's nothing left to read

[00:02:19] And there's nothing left to need

[00:02:21] There's nothing left to watch

[00:02:23] There's nothing left to touch

[00:02:25] There's nothing left to walk upon

[00:02:27] And nothing left to ponder on

[00:02:29] Nothing left to see

[00:02:30] And nothing left to be but garbage

[00:02:33] Garbage garbage garbage garbage garbage garbage

[00:02:36] Garbage garbage

[00:02:41] Garbage

[00:02:44] Garbage garbage garbage

[00:02:48] In Mr thompson's factory they're making plastic christmas trees

[00:02:52] Complete with silver tinsel and a geodesic stand

[00:02:58] The plastic's mixed in giant vats

[00:03:00] From some conglomeration that's

[00:03:02] Been piped from deep within the earth or strip mined from the land

[00:03:08] And if you ask them questions they say why don't you see

[00:03:11] It's absolutely needed for the economy

[00:03:15] Oh garbage garbage garbage garbage garbage garbage

[00:03:18] Garbage

[00:03:19] Their stocks and their bonds all garbage

[00:03:22] Garbage

[00:03:23] What will they do when their system go to smash

[00:03:27] There's no value to their cash

[00:03:28] There's no money to be made

[00:03:30] That there's a world to be repaid

[00:03:32] Their kids will read in history book

[00:03:34] About financiers and other crooks

[00:03:36] And feudalism and slavery

[00:03:38] And nukes and all their knavery

[00:03:41] To history's dustbin they're consigned

[00:03:43] Along with many other kinds of garbage

[00:03:46] Garbage garbage garbage garbage garbage
