《Talking Cuban Crisis(LP版)》歌词

[00:00:00] Talking Cuban Crisis (LP版) - Phil Ochs (菲尔·奥克斯)

[00:00:08] It was just a little while ago

[00:00:10] I glued my ears to the radio

[00:00:13] The announcer was saying wed better beware

[00:00:15] A crisis was hanging a wave from the air

[00:00:19] Crawling on the ground

[00:00:20] Swimming in the sea

[00:00:22] Heading for me

[00:00:26] Well I didn't know if I was for or again it

[00:00:28] He was yelling and screaming a mile a minute

[00:00:31] Well he said here comes the president

[00:00:33] But first this word from pepsodent

[00:00:39] Have whiter teeth

[00:00:41] Have cleaner breath

[00:00:42] When you're facing nuclear death

[00:00:48] And then president john began to speak

[00:00:50] And I knew right away he wouldn't be weak

[00:00:52] Well he said hed seen some missile bases

[00:00:54] And terrible smiles on cuban faces

[00:00:57] Close pictures

[00:00:59] Carrying land reform too far

[00:01:02] Giving land to the ussr

[00:01:07] Well he said we mustn't be afraid

[00:01:09] Were setting up a little blockade

[00:01:12] Put our ships along the cuban shores

[00:01:15] And if the russian bear yells and roars

[00:01:16] Well let him have it

[00:01:21] From turkey and greece formosa and spain

[00:01:23] The peaceful west european plaing

[00:01:25] From alaska and greenland well use our means

[00:01:28] And twenty thousand submarines

[00:01:31] Were gonna teach the russians a lesson

[00:01:34] For trying to upset the balance of power

[00:01:40] Now most americans stood behind

[00:01:42] The president and his military minds

[00:01:45] But me I stood behind a bar

[00:01:47] Dreaming of a spaceship getaway car

[00:01:50] Head for mars

[00:01:53] Any other planet that has bars

[00:01:55] Like gerdes folk city

[00:01:58] Yes it seemed the presidents stand was strong and plain

[00:02:00] But some republicans was a going insane

[00:02:03] And they still are

[00:02:04] They said our plan was just too mild

[00:02:07] Spare the rod and spoil the child

[00:02:10] Let's sink cuba into the sea

[00:02:13] And give them back democracy

[00:02:15] Under the water

[00:02:19] Well the deadline was set for ten o'clock

[00:02:21] For a cold war it was a getting hot

[00:02:24] Well the russians tried the russians failed

[00:02:26] Homeward bound those missiles sailed

[00:02:30] Mr khruschev said better red than dead
