《Why? (The King of Love Is Dead)(Live)》歌词

[00:00:01] Why （The King Of Love Is Dead）- Nina Simone

[00:00:20] What's gonna happen now In all of our cities

[00:00:26] My people are rising; they're living in lies

[00:00:35] Even if they have to die

[00:00:41] Even if they have to die at the moment they know what life is

[00:00:47] Even at that one moment that ya know what life is

[00:00:53] If you have to die it's all right

[00:00:59] Cause you know what life is

[00:01:06] You know what freedom is for one moment of your life

[00:01:22] But he had seen the mountaintop

[00:01:23] And he knew he could not stop

[00:01:28] Always living with the threat of death ahead

[00:01:34] Folks you'd better stop and think

[00:01:43] Everybody knows we're on the brink

[00:02:02] What will happen now that the King is dead

[00:02:07] We can all shed tears it won't change a thing

[00:02:16] Teach your people Will they ever learn

[00:02:22] Must you always kill with burn and burn with guns

[00:02:27] And kill with guns and burn - don't you know how we gotta react

[00:02:37] But he had seen the mountaintop

[00:02:45] And he knew he could not stop

[00:02:56] Always living with the threat of death ahead

[00:03:01] Folks you'd better stop and think

[00:03:08] Everybody knows we're on the brink

[00:03:12] What will happen now that the King of love is dead
