[00:01.000] 作曲 : Kate Tempest/Dan Carey
[00:08.39] It’s coming to pass, my countries coming apart
[00:13.85] The whole thing’s becoming such a bumbling farce
[00:18.27] Was that a pivotal historical moment we just went stumbling past?
[00:23.64] Well, here we are, dancing in the rumbling dark
[00:27.21] So come a little closer, give me something to grasp
[00:32.50] Give me your beautiful, crumbling heart
[00:36.99] Another disaster, catharsis
[00:39.40] Another half-discarded mirage
[00:41.39] Another mask slips
[00:43.95] I face off with the physical
[00:46.46] My head’s ringing from the love of the stars
[00:51.23] There is too much pretense here
[00:54.81] Too much depends on the fragile wages
[00:58.04] And extortionate rents here
[01:01.38] We’re working every dread day that is given us
[01:04.98] Feeling like the person people meet really isn’t us
[01:08.45] Like we’re gonna buckle underneath the trouble
[01:10.92] Like any minute now, the struggle’s going to finish us
[01:15.40] And then we smile at all our friends
[01:20.72] It’s hard, we got our heads down and our hackles up
[01:24.60] Our backs against the wall, I can feel you aching
[01:28.98] None of this was written in stone
[01:31.33] There is nothing we’re forbidden to know
[01:34.22] And I can feel things changing
[01:36.87] Even when I’m weak and I’m breaking
[01:39.22] I’ll stand weeping at the train station
[01:42.16] ‘Cause I can see your faces
[01:48.00] There is so much peace to be found in people’s faces
[02:01.63] I saw it roaring
[02:04.80] I felt it clawing at my clothes like a grieving friend
[02:09.80] It said there are no new beginnings
[02:12.75] Until everybody sees that the old ways need to end
[02:16.81] But it’s hard to accept that we’re all one and the same flesh
[02:20.28] Given the rampant divisions between oppressor and oppressed
[02:24.14] But we are, though
[02:26.83] More empathy, less greed, more respect
[02:32.12] All I’ve got to say has already been said
[02:35.50] I mean, you heard it from yourself
[02:37.23] When you were lying in your bed and couldn’t sleep
[02:39.38] Thinking, "Couldn’t we be doing this differently?"
[02:44.46] I’m listening to every little whisper in the distance singing hymns
[02:49.35] And I can, I can feel things changing
[02:55.05] But it’s so hard, we got our heads down and our hackles up
[02:59.39] Our backs against the wall, I can feel your heart racing
[03:03.72] None of this was written in stone
[03:05.92] The currents fast, but the river moves slow
[03:08.84] And I can feel things changing
[03:11.36] Even when I’m weak and I’m breakin'
[03:13.79] I stand weeping at the train station
[03:16.48] ‘Cause I can see your faces
[03:22.93] There is so much peace to be found in people’s faces
[03:36.32] It’s not enough
[03:38.03] To imagine we’ll be happy when we’ve got enough stuff
[03:41.72] All this stuff is blocking us
[03:45.30] I’m neat with no chaser
[03:47.48] I’m all spirit, but I’m sinking
[03:50.54] 'Cause the days are not days but strange symptoms
[03:54.62] And this age is our age
[03:57.48] But our age is rage sinking to beige
[04:01.09] And yes, our children are brave
[04:03.91] But their mission is vague
[04:06.15] Now I don’t have the answers
[04:08.76] But there are still things to say
[04:10.87] I stare out at my city on another difficult day
[04:13.94] And I scream inwardly, "When will this change?"
[04:17.86] I’m beginning to fade
[04:19.64] But my sanity’s saved ‘cause I can see your faces
[04:23.65] My sanity’s saved ‘cause I can see your faces
[04:29.80] It’s hard, we got our heads down and our hackles up
[04:33.54] Our backs against the wall, I can feel your heart racing
[04:37.48] None of this was written in stone
[04:39.74] The current’s fast but the river moves slow
[04:42.79] And I can feel things changing
[04:44.90] Even when I’m weak and I’m breaking
[04:47.61] I stand weeping at the train station
[04:50.46] ‘Cause I can see your faces
[04:58.28] I love people’s faces
