「歌曲」Party Of God-Natalie Merchant、Billy Bragg

In a busy street
A man sits down
Oblivious to the traffic sounds
No chaos
No frenzied shrieking crowd
Thank God their silence
Walking heads bent down
Come when they saw us
Called it lethargy
The treadmill turns
There down below their feet
Should I pray
For an end to come
Quickly quickly
Quickly quickly
Or cross the waves
Of an angry sea
Risking risking
And braving braving
The shipwreck and the
Mutiny assailing assailing
In a haunted doorway
And from the light of day
See another life
Fall to ruin in pain
False smiles from
Even children it seems
Landlocked ground
For empty and lost dreams
A league against me
I hear him say
It's not worth half the effort
Or the price you pay
Should I pray
For an end to come
Quickly quickly
Quickly quickly
Or should I raise my
Face to the Heavens above
And tell God dear God
Stop jeering and jeering
As our human frailties
And all our failings
Are we failing
Pound pound on
An endless street
Again and again
The nightmare scene
All strained against
The tightened rope
Not one with a
Lasting lingering hope
There's evidence
Everywhere you see
Put a quarter down
At the newsstand
So that you can read
Should I pray
For an end to come
Quickly quickly
Quickly quickly
Or should I raise my
Face to the clouds above
Entreating entreating
Their mercy some mercy
But as clouds will do
They'll rain down
First gently gently
And sweetly so sweetly
Until they silence me
With a burst of thunder
Thunder and lightning and lightning
And helpless landlocked screaming
I know god must be agreeing
It's the worst part of watching
It's the worst part of watching
It's the worst part of watching
It's the worst part
Landlocked in screaming
God must be agreeing
To be helpless is the worst
Must be the worst part of watching
The worst part of watching
