[00:00.000] 作曲 : F. Porter for The Happiest Africans (SESAC)
[00:00.172] For nearly an hour, the condemned men sat in a bus and watched crews erect their execution posts on the quiet beachfront
[00:33.106] White man's burden, Lloyd, my man, white man's burden
[00:38.432] You paid the price, you followed orders
[00:41.112] Months at a time laying in ambushes by the borders
[00:44.529] The blunt cackle of gun battles, last breath death rattles, air-sucking thump of mortars
[00:50.550] Then flames, hideously gorgeous
[00:53.471] And when command said find the informants
[00:56.184] You followed orders
[00:57.663] You visited the camps
[00:59.320] You oversaw the torture
[01:00.907] You tightened the clamps
[01:02.338] You lied to reporters
[01:03.789] You dug the pits
[01:05.212] You made sure the confessions were recorded
[01:07.801] You still see their faces
[01:09.266] Corners of your eyes is morbid
[01:11.579] Copper in the air, taste it
[01:13.556] Flowing like a open faucet
[01:15.650] Can't erase it
[01:16.905] But you a soldier
[01:18.223] You follow orders
[01:19.990] Once the war was won
[01:21.333] Switched fatigues for corporate
[01:23.204] Suits and ties, but close those eyes
[01:25.936] Still see them, clear as portraits
[01:28.021] Watching yourself go through the motions
[01:30.591] Pretending you're not dead, adrift in a black ocean
[01:34.769] So imagine the relief when the indictments are finally read
[01:38.635] Grey hair on your head
[01:40.378] Lean into the mic, flanked by lawyers
[01:42.656] And finally tell someone
[01:43.870] All you did was follow orders
[01:52.051] One time is one time
[01:53.420] 'Cause that's all it takes to change your life
[01:55.772] You been had it coming but no worries
[01:58.301] The postman always rings twice
[02:00.779] Thrice, the Ghosts came, Past, Present, Future
[02:03.842] Price on your dome so chunky, anyone could be the shooter
[02:08.445] Then lay low, as you lie down
[02:11.029] Uneasy is the head that rocks the crown
[02:16.356] One time is one time
[02:17.889] Cause that's all it takes to change your life
[02:20.250] You been had it coming but no worries
[02:22.481] The postman always rings twice
[02:28.815] It always starts small
[02:30.644] Got a little something, made it flip
[02:33.194] Not about to ball, just upgrade the whip
[02:35.501] Maybe a little something on the wrist
[02:37.667] Your little dun seen your new kicks
[02:39.702] He see you in the hall smoking sticks
[02:42.258] Seen the ass on your new bitch, poking
[02:44.951] Baby powder between her tits
[02:47.266] Keep bugging you, he got the itch
[02:49.586] You let him get a taste
[02:50.690] Twelve months later he's taking the trips
[02:53.404] Cause now you shaving bricks, cinder blocks, masonry bits
[02:57.230] Family ties like Cain and Abel
[02:59.629] Cutting cocaine on the kitchen table
[03:02.484] Ain't want no trouble
[03:03.764] But evil got roots
[03:05.197] You said no guns, but he said he had to shoot
[03:08.475] Fire out the cannon
[03:09.900] You can't serve God and Mammon
[03:12.337] Flying back uptown, interior salmon
[03:15.087] Cops got y'all jammed in
[03:17.142] You made the wrong move, trying to ram 'em
[03:19.770] Boys in blue commenced to blammin'
[03:21.541] And just like that you both out the game like the O'Bannons
[03:24.965] Commissioner's press conference only got room for standing
[03:28.283] At the funeral, your team poured some liquor
[03:31.347] Then commence to plotting and planning
[03:33.566] Divide up your re-up before the first shovel full of dirt landin'
[03:37.386] Moms distraught but your uncles' is like
[03:39.754] "What the **** did she think would happen?"
[03:42.886] One time is one time
[03:44.100] 'Cause that's all it takes to change your life
[03:46.540] You been had it coming but no worries
