《Front Line (1982 Musiquarium Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] Front Line (1982 Musiquarium Version) - Stevie Wonder

[00:00:22] I am a veteran of the war

[00:00:27] I up and joined the army back an 1964

[00:00:33] At sixteen I just had to be a man at any cost

[00:00:38] I volunteered for Vietnam where I got my leg shot off

[00:00:44] I recall a quote form a movie

[00:00:46] That said "Who's more a man

[00:00:49] Than a man with a reason

[00:00:51] That's worth dyin' for"

[00:00:54] They had me standing on the front line

[00:01:00] They had me standing on the front line

[00:01:05] They had me standing on the front line

[00:01:09] But now I stand at the back of the line

[00:01:11] When it comes to gettin' ahead

[00:01:16] They gave me a uniform and a tiny salty pill

[00:01:22] To stop the big urge I might have for the wrong kind of thrill

[00:01:27] They put a gun in my hand and said "Shoot until he's dead"

[00:01:32] But it's hard to kill when "Please I'm your friend"

[00:01:35] Echoes through your head

[00:01:38] Brought up in church

[00:01:39] Taught no man should take another's life

[00:01:43] But then put in the jungle

[00:01:45] Where life has no price no

[00:01:49] They had me standing on the front line

[00:01:54] They had me standing on the front line

[00:02:00] They had me standing on the front line

[00:02:04] But now I stand at the back of the line

[00:02:06] When it comes to gettin' ahead

[00:02:11] Back in the world the paper reads today

[00:02:16] Another war is in the brewing

[00:02:21] But what about the lives of yesterday

[00:02:26] And the many happy families that have been ruined

[00:02:32] My niece is a hooker and my nephew's a junkie too

[00:02:38] But they say I have no right to tell them how they should do

[00:02:43] They laugh and say "Quit braggin'

[00:02:45] 'Bout the war you should have never been in"

[00:02:48] But my mind is so brain-washed

[00:02:50] I'd probably go back and do it again

[00:02:54] I walk the neighborhood parading my purple heart

[00:02:59] With a fear of agent orange that no one will stop no

[00:03:05] They had me standing on the front line

[00:03:10] They had me standing on the front line

[00:03:16] They had me standing on the front line

[00:03:19] Now But I stand at the back of the line

[00:03:22] When it comes to gettin' ahead

[00:03:27] They had me standing on the front line

[00:03:32] They had me standing on the front line

[00:03:38] They had me standing on the front line

[00:03:41] Now I stand at the back of the line

[00:03:44] When it comes to gettin' ahead

[00:03:46] Would you believe I do

[00:03:48] They had me standing on the front line

[00:03:54] They had me standing on the front line

[00:03:59] They had me standing on the front line

[00:04:03] But now I stand at the back of the line

[00:04:05] When it comes to gettin' ahead
