《Unsettled Scores》歌词

[00:06:54] UNSETTLED SCORES

[00:06:54] [The Man

[00:06:54] There's a prayer for the living and the dying

[00:06:54] There's a prayer to soothe the savage sea

[00:06:54] There's a prayer it seems for almost everything

[00:06:54] But you, you haven't got a prayer for me

[00:06:54] And I, I haven't got a prayer

[00:06:54] So many cries in the night that you try to ignore

[00:06:54] Why didn't I do this ?, why didn't I do that ?

[00:06:54] So many unbroken chains, so many unsettled scores

[00:06:54] The old man at the bank that sneers

[00:06:54] The teachers and their slaps

[00:06:54] The brutal eyes, the uniforms

[00:06:54] The lawyers and their traps

[00:06:54] The lonely girls who yearn to love

[00:06:54] And learn to kiss and dance

[00:06:54] The rich and selfish widow

[00:06:54] In the market for romance

[00:06:54] The soldier with the smell of war

[00:06:54] That never fades away

[00:06:54] The hero on the playing fields

[00:06:54] Forgotten in a day

[00:06:54] The priest in the confessional

[00:06:54] The trembling hands and whispered sighs

[00:06:54] The doctors in the hospital

[00:06:54] Unending tests and twisted lies

[00:06:54] The betrayers, the betrayed

[00:06:54] The abandoned, the afraid

[00:06:54] The corrupted and the celebrated

[00:06:54] Endlessly humiliated

[00:06:54] Gloriously big parade

[00:06:54] You can say a prayer for everyone

[00:06:54] That there could ever be

[00:06:54] Say a prayer for all of these and more

[00:06:54] But there's still no prayer for me

[00:06:54] Say a prayer for your purest daughter

[00:06:54] Toll a bell for your only son

[00:06:54] There's no way out and all my prayers

[00:06:54] Are fading one by one

[00:06:54] The stern and disapproving lips

[00:06:54] The friends who just attack

[00:06:54] The fathers that they take away

[00:06:54] The ones that can't get back

[00:06:54] The desperate boy who sleeps alone

[00:06:54] Whoever's in his bed

[00:06:54] The chosen ones they get a home

[00:06:54] The blessed get ahead

[00:06:54] The kids out playing softball

[00:06:54] In the fading summer night

[00:06:54] The teenage lovers at the drive-in

[00:06:54] The glow of the dashboard light

[00:06:54] An American flyer on a steep incline

[00:06:54] The wind blowing through your hair

[00:06:54] The trophies and the holidays, they vanished in the air

[00:06:54] The betrayers the betrayed, the abandoned the afraid

[00:06:54] The glorified the idolised, the big shots and their jealous eyes

[00:06:54] An amazingly big parade

[00:06:54] You can say a prayer for anyone

[00:06:54] You've known or you might see

[00:06:54] Say a prayer for all of these and more

[00:06:54] But there's still no prayer for me

[00:06:54] Say a prayer for every living thing

[00:06:54] The unborn and deceased

[00:06:54] But I haven't got a prayer I know

[00:06:54] That's the nature of the beast
