《Pieces of a Man》歌词

[00:00:07] Pieces of a Man - GilScott-Heron

[00:00:17] Jagged jigsaw pieces

[00:00:24] Tossed about the room

[00:00:31] I saw my Grandma sweeping

[00:00:38] With her old straw broom

[00:00:44] But she didn't know what she was doing

[00:00:51] She could hardly understand

[00:01:03] That she was really sweeping up

[00:01:10] Pieces of a man

[00:01:16] I saw my Daddy meet the mailman

[00:01:24] And I heard the mailman say

[00:01:30] "Now don't you take this letter to heart now Jimmy

[00:01:38] 'Cause they've laid off nine others today"

[00:01:45] But he didn't know what he was saying

[00:01:52] He could hardly understand

[00:02:03] That he was only talking to

[00:02:11] Pieces of a man

[00:02:17] I saw the thunder and heard the lightning

[00:02:23] And felt the burden of his shame

[00:02:31] And for some unknown reason

[00:02:38] He never turned my way

[00:02:46] Pieces of that letter

[00:02:53] Were tossed about that room

[00:02:59] And now I hear the sound of sirens

[00:03:06] Come knifing through the gloom

[00:03:13] But they don't know what they are doing

[00:03:20] They could hardly understand

[00:03:31] That they're only arresting

[00:03:39] Pieces of a man

[00:03:46] I saw him go to pieces

[00:03:52] I saw him go to pieces

[00:04:00] He was always such a good man

[00:04:07] He was always such a strong strong man

[00:04:13] Yeah I saw him go to pieces

[00:04:20] I saw him go to pieces
