《The Man Who Couldn’t Cry(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] The Man Who Couldn't Cry - Loudon Wainwright III

[00:00:15] There once was a man who just couldn't cry

[00:00:23] He hadn't cried for years & for years

[00:00:30] Napalmed babies & the movie love story

[00:00:38] For instance could not produce tears

[00:00:44] As a child he had cried as all children will

[00:00:52] But at some point the tear ducts ran dry

[00:00:59] He grew to be a man & the feces hit the fan

[00:01:05] Things got bad but he couldn't cry

[00:01:15] His dog got run over his wife up & left him

[00:01:23] After that he got sacked from his job

[00:01:29] Lost an arm in the war was laughed at by a whore

[00:01:37] But still not a sniffle & sob

[00:01:44] Well his novel was refused & his movie was banned

[00:01:52] And his biog broad way show was a flop

[00:01:59] He was sent off to jail you guessed it no bail

[00:02:07] But still not a dribble or drop

[00:02:13] In jail he was beaten bullied & buggered

[00:02:22] And made to make licence plates

[00:02:29] Water & bread was all he was fed

[00:02:36] But not once did a tear stain his face

[00:02:43] Doctors were called in scientists too

[00:02:50] Theologians were last & practically least

[00:02:57] They all agreed sure enough

[00:03:01] He was no cream puff

[00:03:06] But in fact an insensitive beast

[00:03:42] He was removed from jail & placed in a place

[00:03:50] For the insensitive & the insane

[00:03:57] He played lots of chess & he made lots of friends

[00:04:05] And he wept every time it would train

[00:04:10] Once it rained 40 days & it rained 40 nights

[00:04:19] And he cried and he cried and he cried and he cried

[00:04:26] On the 41st day he just passed away

[00:04:34] He just dehydrated & died

[00:04:45] He went up to heaven located his dog

[00:04:53] Not only that but he rejoined his arm

[00:05:00] Down below all the critics they took it all back

[00:05:09] Cancer robbed the whore of her charm

[00:05:15] His ex wife died of stretch marks his ex employer went broke

[00:05:22] The theologians were finally found out

[00:05:30] Right down to the ground the prison burned down

[00:05:38] The earth suffered perpetual drought
