Song | The Anointed One |
Artist | Ted Leo and the Pharmacists |
Album | Hearts of Oak |
作曲 : Leo | |
The anointed one, father's favorite son | |
Now we see, long before the race, you'd already won | |
Oh beatified, with the softest eyes | |
These days I can't escape your face, do you remember mine? | |
Oh, it haunts me | |
Oh, what a fool I must have been | |
We saw red, not green, when we were nineteen | |
Now something's different, something happened somewhere there between | |
By the river bend, did I misapprehend | |
Your sincerity or is it you have changed, friend? | |
Oh, it haunts me | |
Oh, how could I not have seen what you'd become? | |
But you fooled everyone | |
Lace curtains in our slum | |
You were the anointed one | |
Alright! | |
Watching you grow with the pride of a friend | |
Kissing off school, there were rules to be bent | |
Knelt by your side through our crises of faith | |
Mine was on time but for you it was already too late, too late | |
In the capitol | |
With your freezer full | |
Do you represent your district | |
Or your daddy's will? | |
Oh, it haunts me | |
Oh, how could I not have seen what you'd become? | |
But you fooled everyone | |
Lace curtains in our slum | |
You were the anointed one | |
What have you become? | |
But you fooled everyone | |
Lace curtains in our slum | |
You were the anointed one |
