The Ballad Of The Hulk
作詞:Jerry Jeff Walker
The cycle of life is here to see In all its fine simplicity But the way we live it seems to be Something very weird to me and I cry out
Pettiness like lady's chatter It seems to complicate the matter I grit my teeth, my senses chatter There's nothing much makes me madder and I leap out
For big or little, great or small It really doesn't matter at all The way we shuffle our feet, and hem and haw 'Cause everyone's afraid they'll fall or else be left out
What's right for me are strange to you Shouldn't make a damn on what you do 'Cause whether or not you make it through I thought you already knew that I'll keep you going on
And the World War III And the world series Will make the same size Headlines in the news
From all I've seen of politics It's just a greasy big money stick Geared to run on tongues so slick To make you think this is all there is you got, I'm afraid
How they con the little middle man Into thinking he has got a hand To play in the future of the promised land He owes himself to the destiny of man, get ridiculous
Cheap gangster can hire someone To do his work with a tommy gun While the president points at anyone And says, 'I, your country wants the killing done, go do it now, boy'
But the war itself is bad enough It can break you down no matter how tough But the tragedy of hoopla stuff It makes you think you can't do enough for the Chinese symbols
And the other countries They feel the same as we And regret I have But one country to give for my life
Preacher stands in his holy shroud Saying, 'God forgives if you do it now' You come back when the chips are down You'll find that they've all gone underground to pray for you
And the homosexual twist to preach He feels that he can preach to me The right way to go and raise a family And I'm forced to look at him He mean to say, ‽You're guessingâ€
As the population is getting higher The poverty poor, the pregnant tired Are waiting on the Pope to be inspired For some new contraceptive attire saying, 'It's cool now'
It's a ghost behind a one way mirror Listening tip-toed at the door to hear Someone outside won't speak the year Then, they'll slip a note out how they feel about pierced ear-lobes
But the rules made now For the changing counts Are a little late We'll be out of date by tomorrow
Her mother played on virginity 更多更詳盡歌詞 在 ※ Mojim.com 魔鏡歌詞網 She said, 'It was the holy place to be' The things boys had were evilry When it came time for matrimony she froze and died there
Her sister at fourteen, very well known She thought all kicks came lying there prone But the fundamental fact not spoken at home Left her feeling like a chewed on bone and why, she wondered
And one chick who dug moving about Very liberal minded and of' spoke out How she was cool and understood No doubt with the blankets up The lights turned out, you're condescending
And a couple together for five or six years A marriage license, they'd never been near But social pressure and loss of job fear Got them married and divorced in half a year, they couldn't cut it
It's all talked about And then it's lived around But what is right for me Could be perversity in any state law book
I'm told the minstrel at one time Was allowed to sing and make his rhymes To comment on the news of the times Saying, 'What's in people's minds?', and he made tips for it
But today try singing on some street curb Singing the news in everyday words The people pass by and laughing is heard Or else they'll hit you where it hurts or they'll keep their ears closed
One man said, 'Boy, I dig your stuff I want you to come play at my club I'll put your name in lights up above But just remember, I got a club to run, so don't you be too strongâ€
It's not the writers who sell us out It's the damn censors who turn about All your life learned adjectives and vowels And say my mouth is much too foul to clearly speak to you
But try to hit a nail And if the hammer fails Then the words you use to describe that bruise That's basic language
I hitch hike and sang the songs That everybody knew and sang along To amuse myself I wrote some songs Speaking about what's right and wrong, and I'm a little different
So a record company, you know well Wanted to know if my song would sell I said, 'Yes, I like it very well If you don't, sir, you can go to help somebody else changeâ€
I kept hope on and bumming around Singing to my friends who dig that sound A few guys said, 'Won't you come to my town' I ask fair bread, they put me down their Caddie's mortgaged
I made one deal like it's you and me This guy said he'd be lots of use to me But when I found he's putting the screws to me I made it back out on the street singing new folk songs
And if there's time enough And the hill ain't too rough What I wrote today I might someday play and make some tips for it
Don't, next, the next issue of the hulk
