《The Original Wrapper》歌词

[00:00:00] The Original Wrapper - Lou Reed

[00:00:17] I was sittin' home on the West End

[00:00:19] Watchin' cable TV with a female friend

[00:00:21] We were watchin' the news the world's in a mess

[00:00:23] The poor and the hungry a world in distress

[00:00:24] Herpes AIDS the Middle East at full throttle

[00:00:26] Better check that sausage before you put it in the waffle

[00:00:28] And while you're at it check what's in the batter

[00:00:30] Make sure that candy's in the Original Wrapper

[00:00:32] Hey pitcher better check that batter

[00:00:33] Make sure that candy's in the Original Wrapper

[00:00:44] Reagan says abortion's murder

[00:00:44] While he's looking at Cardinal O'Connor

[00:00:47] Look at Jerry Falwell Louis Farrakhan

[00:00:48] Both talk religion and the brotherhood of man

[00:00:51] They both sound like they belong in Teheran

[00:00:53] Watch out they're goin' full throttle

[00:00:54] Better check that sausage before you stick it in the waffle

[00:00:57] And while you're at it better check what's in the batter

[00:00:59] Make sure that candy's in the Original Wrapper

[00:01:00] Hey pitcher better check that batter

[00:01:02] Make sure that candy's in the Original Wrapper

[00:01:12] White against white Black against Jew

[00:01:14] It seems like it's 1942

[00:01:15] The baby sits in front of MTV

[00:01:17] Watching violent fantasies

[00:01:19] While Dad guzzles beer with his favorite sport

[00:01:21] Only to find his heroes are all coked up

[00:01:23] Classic original the same old story

[00:01:25] The politics of hate in a new surrounding

[00:01:27] Hate if it's good and hate if it's bad

[00:01:29] And if this all don't make you mad

[00:01:31] I'll keep yours and I'll keep mine

[00:01:32] Nothing sacred and nothing divine

[00:01:35] Father bless me we're at full throttle

[00:01:36] Better check that sausage before you put it in the waffle

[00:01:39] And while you're at it better check that batter

[00:01:40] Make sure the candy's in the Original Wrapper

[00:01:43] Hey pitcher better check that batter

[00:01:44] Make sure that candy's in the Original Wrapper hey hey

[00:02:01] I was born in the United States

[00:02:03] And I grew up hard but I grew up straight

[00:02:05] I saw a lack of morals and a lack of concern

[00:02:07] A feeling that there's nowhere to turn

[00:02:08] Yippies Hippies and upwardly mobile Yuppies

[00:02:10] Don't treat me like I'm some dumb lackey

[00:02:12] 'Cause the murderer lives while the victims die

[00:02:14] I'd much rather see it an eye for an eye

[00:02:16] A heart for a heart a brain for a brain

[00:02:18] And if this all makes you feel a little insane

[00:02:20] Kick up your heels turn the music up loud

[00:02:22] Pick up your guitar and look out at the crowd and say -

[00:02:25] "Don't mean to come on sanctimonious

[00:02:26] But life's got me nervous and little pugnacious

[00:02:27] Lugubrious so I give a salutation

[00:02:29] And rock on out to beat really stupid

[00:02:30] Ohh poop ah doo and how do you do

[00:02:33] Hip hop gonna bop till I drop"

[00:02:35] Watch out world comin' at you full throttle

[00:02:38] Better check that sausage before you put it in the waffle

[00:02:40] And while you're at it better check that batter

[00:02:41] Make sure the candy's in the Original Wrapper

[00:02:43] Hey hey pitcher better check that batter

[00:02:44] Make sure the candy's in the Original Wrapper

[00:02:47] Hey pitcher better check that batter

[00:02:48] Make sure the candy's in the Original Wrapper hey hey hey
