《Ballad of Accounting》歌词

[00:00:00] Ballad Of Accounting - The Delgados

[00:00:05] In the morning we built this city

[00:00:08] In the afternoon walked through it's streets

[00:00:12] Evening saw us leaving

[00:00:15] We wandered through our days

[00:00:17] As if they would never end

[00:00:19] All of us imagined we had endless time to spend

[00:00:23] We hardly saw the crossroads and

[00:00:25] Small attention gave to landmarks

[00:00:28] In the journey from the cradle to the grave

[00:00:31] Cradle to the grave cradle to the grave

[00:00:45] Did you learn to dream in the morning

[00:00:48] Abandon dreams in the afternoon

[00:00:52] Wait without hope in the evening

[00:00:56] Did you stand there in the traces and let them feed you lies

[00:01:00] Did you trail along behind them wearing blinkers on your eyes

[00:01:03] Did you kiss the foot that kicked you

[00:01:05] Did you thank them for their scorn

[00:01:07] Did you ask for their forgiveness for the act of being born

[00:01:11] Act of being born act of being born

[00:01:21] Did you alter the face of this city

[00:01:25] Did you make any change in the world you found

[00:01:28] Or did you observe all the warnings

[00:01:32] Did you read this trespass notice that you keep off the grass

[00:01:36] Did you shuffle off the pavement just to let your betters pass

[00:01:40] Did you learn to keep your mouth shut

[00:01:42] To be seen and never heard

[00:01:44] Did you learn to be obedient

[00:01:45] And jump to an a word and jump to an a word

[00:01:49] And jump to an a word

[00:02:01] Did you ever demand any answers

[00:02:05] The who and the what and the reason why

[00:02:09] Did you ever question the setup

[00:02:12] Did you stand aside and let them choose

[00:02:14] While you took second best

[00:02:16] Did you let them skim cream off

[00:02:18] And then give to you the rest

[00:02:20] Did you settle for the shoddy

[00:02:22] Did you think it right to let them rob right and left

[00:02:25] And never make a fight never make a fight

[00:02:29] Never make a fight

[00:02:41] What did you learn in the morning

[00:02:43] How much did you know in the afternoon

[00:02:47] Were you content in the evening

[00:02:51] Did't you how to question

[00:02:53] When you were at the school

[00:02:55] Did the factory help you grow over you

[00:02:57] To make an ardor too

[00:02:59] Did the place where you were living

[00:03:01] Enrich your life with land

[00:03:02] Did you reach some understanding of all your fellow man

[00:03:06] All your fellow man all your fellow man
