《Tis of Thee》歌词

[00:00:00] 'Tis Of Thee - Ani Difranco (安妮·迪弗兰科)

[00:00:19] They caught the last poor man

[00:00:23] On a poor man's vacation

[00:00:27] They cuffed him and confiscated his stuff

[00:00:31] They dragged his black a** down to the station

[00:00:35] And said okay the streets are safe now

[00:00:39] All your pretty white children

[00:00:42] Can come out and see Spot run

[00:00:44] And they came out of their houses

[00:00:48] And they looked around

[00:00:50] But they didn't see no one

[00:00:53] And my country 'tis of thee

[00:00:57] To take swings at each other on talk show TV

[00:01:03] Why don't you just go ahead and turn off the sun

[00:01:06] 'Cause we'll never live long enough

[00:01:09] To undo everything they've done to you

[00:01:19] Undo everything they've done to you

[00:01:31] Above 96th street

[00:01:34] They're handing out smallpox blankets

[00:01:36] So people don't freeze

[00:01:40] The old dogs have got a new trick

[00:01:43] It's called criminalize the symptoms

[00:01:45] While you spread the disease

[00:01:47] And I hold on hard to something

[00:01:55] Between my teeth when I'm sleeping

[00:01:58] I wake up and my jaw aches

[00:02:02] And the earth is full of earthquakes

[00:02:07] And my country 'tis of thee

[00:02:10] To take shots at each other on prime time TV

[00:02:16] Why don't you just go ahead and turn off the sun

[00:02:21] 'Cause we'll never live long enough to

[00:02:23] Undo everything they've done to you

[00:02:32] Undo everything they've done to you

[00:03:22] They caught the last poor man

[00:03:26] Flying away in a shiny red cape

[00:03:30] They took him down to the station

[00:03:34] And they said boy you should have known better

[00:03:36] Than to try and escape

[00:03:39] I ran away with the circus

[00:03:43] 'Cause there's still some honest work

[00:03:45] Left for bearded ladies

[00:03:47] But it's not the same goin' town to town

[00:03:52] Since they put everyone in jail

[00:03:54] Except the Cleavers and the Bradys

[00:03:57] And my country 'tis of thee

[00:04:01] To take swings at each other on the talkshow TV

[00:04:06] Why don't you just go ahead and turn off the sun

[00:04:10] 'Cause we'll never live long enough to

[00:04:13] Undo everything they've done to you

[00:04:23] Undo everything they've done to you
