《Washington， D.C.》歌词

[00:00:00] Washington D C - GilScott-Heron

[00:00:20] Symbols of democracy pinned up against the coast

[00:00:24] Outhouse of bureaucracy surrounded by a moat

[00:00:29] Citizens of poverty are barely out of sight

[00:00:33] Overlords escape in the evening with people of the night

[00:00:38] Morning brings the tourists peering eyes and rubber necks

[00:00:43] To catch a glimpse of the cowboy making the world a nervous wreck

[00:00:47] It's a mass of irony for all the world to see

[00:00:52] It's the nation's capital it's Washington D C

[00:00:57] It's the nation's capital

[00:00:59] It's the nation's capital

[00:01:01] It's the nation's capital it's Washington D C

[00:01:16] May not have the glitter or the glamour of L A

[00:01:20] May not have the history or the intrigue of Pompeii

[00:01:25] But when it comes to making music and sure enough making news

[00:01:29] People who just don't make sense and people making do

[00:01:34] Seems a ball of contradictions pulling different ways

[00:01:39] Between the folks who come and go and one's who've got to stay

[00:01:43] It's a mass of irony for all the world to see

[00:01:48] It's the nation's capital it's Washington D C

[00:01:53] It's the nation's capital

[00:01:55] It's the nation's capital

[00:01:57] It's the nation's capital it's Washington D C

[00:02:02] Seems to me it's still in light time people knifed up on 14th street

[00:02:11] Makes me feel it's always the right time for them people showing up and coming clean

[00:02:20] Did make the one seem kind of numb

[00:02:25] It's the nation's capital

[00:02:28] It's the nation's capital

[00:02:30] It's the nation's capital it's Washington D C

[00:02:45] Symbols of democracy pinned up against the coast

[00:02:49] Outhouse of bureaucracy surrounded by a moat

[00:02:53] Citizens of poverty are barely out of sight

[00:02:58] Overlords escape in the evening with people of the night

[00:03:03] Morning come and bring the tourists craning rubber necks

[00:03:07] Catch a glimpse of the cowboy making the world a nervous wreck

[00:03:12] It's a mass of irony for all the world to see

[00:03:16] It's the nation's capital it's Washington D C

[00:03:21] It's the nation's capital

[00:03:23] It's the nation's capital

[00:03:26] It's the nation's capital it's Washington D C

[00:03:30] It's the nation's capital

[00:03:32] Got you feeling capital

[00:03:35] Punishment is capital in Washington D C
