《Automation Song(LP版)》歌词

[00:00:00] Automation Song (LP版) - Phil Ochs (菲尔·奥克斯)

[00:00:19] Oh I laid down your railroads

[00:00:21] Every mile of track

[00:00:23] With the muscles on my arm

[00:00:25] And the sweat upon my back

[00:00:28] And now the trains are rolling

[00:00:30] They roll to every shore

[00:00:32] You tell me that my job is through

[00:00:34] There ain't no work no more

[00:00:37] Though I laid down your highways all across the land

[00:00:42] With the ringing of the steel

[00:00:44] And the power of my hands

[00:00:48] And now the roads are there like ribbons in the sky

[00:00:51] You tell me that my job is through

[00:00:53] But still I wonder why

[00:00:56] For the wages were low

[00:00:58] And the hours were long

[00:00:59] And the labor was all I could bear

[00:01:03] Now you've got new machines for to take my place

[00:01:07] And you tell me it's not mine to share

[00:01:11] Though I laid down your factories

[00:01:13] And laid down your fields

[00:01:15] With my feet on the ground

[00:01:17] And my back to your wheels

[00:01:20] And now the smoke is rising

[00:01:23] The steel is all a-glow

[00:01:24] I'm walking down a jobless road

[00:01:26] And where am I to go

[00:01:29] For the wages were low

[00:01:31] And the hours were long

[00:01:33] And the labor was all I could bear

[00:01:36] Now you've got new machines for to take my place

[00:01:40] And you tell me it's not mine to share

[00:01:44] Though I laid down your factories

[00:01:46] And laid down your fields

[00:01:49] With my feet on the ground

[00:01:51] And my back to your wheels

[00:01:54] And now the smoke is rising

[00:01:56] The steel is all a-glow

[00:01:58] I'm walking down a jobless road

[00:02:00] And where am I to go

[00:02:02] Tell me where am I to go
