Lyrics

[00:00.000] 作曲 : David Stefan Rovics
[00:04.464] Portland is a town that's in the news much of the time
[00:07.982] There are a lot of vegans and there's very little crime
[00:11.654] It's a nice safe place to live, folks ride bicycles a lot
[00:15.397] The winters aren't so cold and the summers aren't so hot
[00:19.607] They build houses out of cob, they hang out in the park
[00:23.940] Where you needn't worry about walking after dark
[00:27.735] There are lots of homeless people but they don't hurt no one
[00:31.747] Just be careful of the boys in blue playing with their guns
[00:34.150]
[00:36.229] Watch out for the cops (4x)
[00:49.681]
[00:51.913] You can hang out with the punks with the piercings and tattoos
[00:55.954] You can eat out at a food truck, any neighborhood you choose
[00:59.852] You can dance to Balkan music while you drink a microbrew
[01:04.123] Chilling in a gay bar with the mayor and his crew
[01:08.009] But be careful what you do, be prepared to get some flack
[01:12.367] Especially for those who may be male, young and Black
[01:16.414] The fact is you'd do better in sweet home Alabam
[01:20.517] You're safer there on the old streets of Birmingham
[01:25.075]
[01:26.105] Watch out for the cops (4x))
[01:38.741]
[01:41.295] Portland's full of roses, there are flowers everywhere
[01:44.812] But for others they've got prisons with some nice electric chairs
[01:49.152] You can go downtown, ride the buses there for free
[01:53.021]
[01:57.293] A town full of progressives but such a rotten bunch of cops
[02:01.199] Who knows who'll get shot at the next routine traffic stop?
[02:05.246] When you live in a place like Portland where they tend to act this way
[02:09.027] You can just join the police force instead of the KKK!
[02:14.453]
[02:15.362] Watch out for the cops (4x))
