Animals Are Like People Lyrics

[00:00.000]	作曲 : Laurie Anderson
[00:06.510]	When Lolabelle got very sick we took her to the hospital.
[00:12.430]	We spent a lot of time with vets.
[00:14.546]	And they always wanted to give you this speech they'd prepared, about pain.
[00:18.211]	Which was, "Of course you don't want her to be in pain.
[00:22.444]	And so, we just give her a shot and put her to sleep,
[00:25.448]	and then another shot and she stops breathing."
[00:30.412]	And every time they'd say that I would say
[00:32.669]	"Listen, I know you want to say this,
[00:34.472]	but we're not going to do this, so, never mind."
[00:38.095]	But they would still try to give the speech anyway.
[00:47.646]	I was really worried about this.
[00:49.349]	So I called our Buddhist teacher and he said
[00:51.589]	"Animals are like people.
[00:55.229]	They approach death, and then they back away.
[00:58.721]	And it's a process.
[01:01.394]	And you don't have the right to take that from them."
[01:07.379]	He said "You should just go and get her from the hospital and bring her home."
[01:17.774]	Pretty much exactly what your Jewish grandmother would say  .
[01:21.332]	"Get some good tranquillizers and get some good food and bring her home. Haha."
[01:43.521]	So we went to the hospital and we took Lolabelle home.
[01:49.533]	We stayed with her for three days,
[01:51.549]	as her breath slowed and then stopped.
[01:57.773]	We had learned to love Lola, as she loved us.
[02:01.263]	With a tenderness we didn't know we had.
