《Last Great American Whale》歌词

[00:00:00] Last Great American Whale - Lou Reed
[00:00:01] They say he didn't have an enemy
[00:00:04] His was a greatness to behold
[00:00:09] He was the last surviving progeny
[00:00:11] The last one on this side of the world
[00:00:17] He measured a half mile from tip to tail
[00:00:19] Silver and black with powerful fins
[00:00:26] They say he could split a mountain in two
[00:00:28] That's how we got the Grand Canyon
[00:00:33] Last great American whale
[00:00:37] Last great American whale
[00:00:41] Last great American whale
[00:00:45] Last great American whale
[00:00:50] Some say they saw him at the Great Lakes
[00:00:52] Some say they saw him off of Florida
[00:00:57] My mother said she saw him in Chinatown
[00:01:01] But you can't always trust your mother
[00:01:06] Off the Carolinas the sun shines brightly in the day
[00:01:10] The lighthouse glows ghostly there at night
[00:01:14] The chief of a local tribe had killed a racist mayor's son
[00:01:18] And he'd been on death row since 1958
[00:01:22] The mayor's kid was a rowdy pig
[00:01:25] Spit on Indians and lots worse
[00:01:31] The old chief buried a hatchet in his head
[00:01:34] Life compared to death for him seemed worse
[00:01:39] The tribal brothers gathered in the lighthouse to sing
[00:01:43] And tried to conjure up a storm or rain
[00:01:47] The harbor parted the great whale sprang full up
[00:01:52] And caused a hugh tidal wave
[00:01:55] The wave crushed the jail and freed the chief
[00:01:59] The tribe let out a roar
[00:02:03] The whites were drowned the browns and reds set free
[00:02:07] But sadly one thing more
[00:02:11] Some local yokel member of the NRA
[00:02:16] Kept a bazooka in his living room
[00:02:19] And thinking he had the chief in his sight
[00:02:23] Blew the whale's brains out with a lead harpoon
[00:02:28] Last great American whale
[00:02:32] Last great American whale
[00:02:36] Last great American whale
[00:02:40] Last great American whale
[00:02:44] Well Americans don't care for much of anything
[00:02:47] Land and water the least
[00:02:53] And animal life is low on the totem pole
[00:02:57] With human life not worth more than infected yeast
[00:03:01] Americans don't care too much for beauty
[00:03:04] They'll shit in a river dump battery acid in a stream
[00:03:09] They'll watch dead rats wash up on the beach
[00:03:12] And complain if they can't swim
[00:03:17] They say things are done for the majority
[00:03:20] Don't believe half of what you see and none of what you hear
[00:03:25] It's like what my painter friend Donald said to me
[00:03:28] "Stick a fork in their ass and turn them over they're done"
