[00:00:00] Word Game (LP版) - Stephen Stills (史蒂芬·史提斯)

[00:00:15] Would you knock a man down if you don't like

[00:00:18] The cut of his clothes

[00:00:22] Could you put a man away

[00:00:24] If you don't want to hear what he knows

[00:00:30] Well it's happening right here people dying of fear

[00:00:33] By the droves

[00:00:37] And I know most of you

[00:00:39] Either don't believe it's true

[00:00:41] Or else you don't know what to do

[00:00:42] Or maybe I'm singing about you

[00:00:45] Who knows

[00:00:48] It's incredibly sick you can feel it as across

[00:00:51] The land it flows

[00:00:56] Prejudice is slick when it's a word game it festers and grows

[00:01:04] Move along quick it furthers one to have somewhere to go

[00:01:10] You can feel it as it's rumblin'

[00:01:12] Let emotions keep a tumblin'

[00:01:14] Then as cities start to crumblin'

[00:01:16] Mostly empty bellies grumblin'

[00:01:18] Here we go

[00:01:38] People see somebody different fear is the first reaction shown

[00:01:45] Then they think they've got him licked

[00:01:47] The barbaric hunt begins

[00:01:48] And they move in slow

[00:01:52] A human spirit is devoured

[00:01:54] The remains left to carrion crow

[00:02:00] I was told that life is change

[00:02:02] And yet history remains

[00:02:03] Does it always stay the same

[00:02:05] Do we shrug it off and say

[00:02:06] Only God knows

[00:02:22] By and by somebody usually goes

[00:02:29] Down to the ghetto

[00:02:30] Try and help but they don't know why folks treat them cold

[00:02:36] And the rich keep getting richer and the rest of us

[00:02:39] Just keep getting old

[00:02:44] You see one must have a mission

[00:02:46] In order to be a good Christian

[00:02:47] If you don't you will be missing

[00:02:48] High Mass

[00:02:50] Or the evening show

[00:02:54] And the well fed masters reap

[00:02:55] The harvests of the polluted seeds

[00:02:57] They've sown

[00:03:01] Smug and self righteous they b**ch about people they owe

[00:03:07] And you can't prove them wrong

[00:03:10] They're so God d**n sure they know

[00:03:15] I have seen these things with my very own eyes

[00:03:18] And defended my battered soul

[00:03:20] It must be too tough to die

[00:03:22] American propaganda South African lies

[00:03:25] Will not force me to take up arms that's my enemies' pride

[00:03:28] Ands I won't fight by his rules that's foolishness besides

[00:03:32] His ignorance is gonna do him in and nobody's gonna cry

[00:03:35] Because his children they are growing up

[00:03:37] And plainly tired of putting up

[00:03:39] With bigots and their silver cups

[00:03:41] They're fed up they might throw up

[00:03:42] On you alright
