Lyrics

[00:00.000] 作曲 : John Grant
[00:01.000] 作词 : John Grant
[00:25.57] What have they been telling you
[00:30.89] About the way things are?
[00:35.97] Could you have foreseen back then
[00:39.32] That you would come this far?
[00:44.38] It was touch and go there for a while
[00:48.40] Don’t you agree?
[00:52.53]
[00:54.19] Did you play with Barbie dolls
[00:57.93] When no one else was around?
[01:02.89] Pardon me if I sound ignorant
[01:06.45] But the change is so profound
[01:11.37] What was going through your head
[01:14.86] As they struck you down to the ground?
[01:19.49]
[01:48.05] What they think is patriotic
[01:52.65] Barely passes for robotic
[01:57.26] And not one of them could last
[02:00.60] Three minutes in your shoes
[02:05.58] The darkness almost swallowed you up
[02:08.71] That must have been quite a case
[02:10.98] Of the blues
[02:13.57]
[02:16.09] I know that I’m supposed to be
[02:19.21] Incensed by what they say you’ve done
[02:24.37] But I only feel compassion ‘cause
[02:27.64] They’re liars, every one
[02:32.65] You’ve been keeping secrets all your life
[02:36.99] But now you are done
[02:41.23]
[02:42.62] Chelsea is a butterfly, she metamorphisized
[02:50.82] You can’t catch her with your net
[02:54.98] ‘Cause she is free inside
[02:59.43] You can’t stop the progress of the truth
[03:04.27] Try as you might
[03:09.63]
[04:16.72] You can’t stop the progress of the truth
[04:21.42] Try as you might
[04:26.19]
