《My Thirty Thousand》歌词

[00:00:00] My Thirty Thousand - Billy Bragg

[00:00:00] Paul Robeson hes the man

[00:00:03] That faced the Ku Klux Klan

[00:00:06] On hollow groves golfing ground

[00:00:08] His words come sounding

[00:00:11] And all around him there

[00:00:14] To jump and clap and cheer

[00:00:16] I sent the best the best I had

[00:00:18] My thirty thousand

[00:00:22] Well The Klansman leader said

[00:00:24] That Paul would lose his head

[00:00:27] When thirty five thousand vets

[00:00:29] Broke up that concert

[00:00:32] But less than four thousand came

[00:00:35] To side with the Klan

[00:00:37] But around Pauls lonesome oak

[00:00:40] My thirty thousand

[00:00:43] A beersoaked brassy band

[00:00:46] Did snortle round the grounds

[00:00:48] Four hundred noblest souls

[00:00:50] Westchesters manhood

[00:00:53] And they looked exactly like

[00:00:56] The fleas on a tigers back

[00:00:58] Lost fish in the waters of

[00:01:01] My thirty thousand

[00:01:24] When Paul had sung and gone

[00:01:27] And the kids and babies home

[00:01:29] Cops came with guns and clubs

[00:01:31] And they clubbed and beat 'em

[00:01:34] Well I'd hate to be a cop

[00:01:37] Caught with a bloody stick

[00:01:39] 'Cause you can't bash the brains

[00:01:41] Out of thirty thousand

[00:01:45] Each eye you tried to gouge

[00:01:47] Each skull you tried to crack

[00:01:49] Has a thousand thousand friends

[00:01:52] Around this green grass

[00:01:54] If you furnish the skull someday

[00:01:57] I'll pass out the clubs and guns

[00:02:00] To the billion hands that love

[00:02:02] My thirty thousand

[00:02:05] Each wrinkle on your face

[00:02:07] I know it at a glance

[00:02:10] You cannot run and hide

[00:02:12] Nor duck nor dodge them

[00:02:15] And your carcass and your deeds

[00:02:17] Will fertilize the seeds

[00:02:20] Of the men that stood to guard

[00:02:22] My thirty thousand

[00:02:25] Of the men that stood to guard

[00:02:27] My thirty thousand
