《Pieces Of A Man》歌词

[00:00:00] Pieces of a Man - Gil Scott-Heron (吉尔·斯科特·赛壬)

[00:00:14] Written by：Gil Scott-Heron/Brian Jackson

[00:00:28] Jagged jigsaw pieces

[00:00:34] Tossed about the room

[00:00:40] I saw my grandma sweeping

[00:00:47] With her old straw broom

[00:00:53] She didn't know what she was doing

[00:00:59] She could hardly understand

[00:01:10] That she was really sweeping up

[00:01:17] Pieces of a man

[00:01:23] I saw my daddy greet the mailman

[00:01:29] And I heard the mailman say

[00:01:35] Now don't you take this letter to heart now jimmy

[00:01:42] Cause they've laid off nine others today

[00:01:48] He didn't know what he was saying

[00:01:55] He could hardly understand

[00:02:05] That he was only talking to

[00:02:12] Pieces of a man

[00:02:17] I saw the thunder and heard the lightning

[00:02:23] And felt the burden of his shame

[00:02:30] And for some unknown reason

[00:02:37] He never turned my way

[00:02:44] Pieces of that letter

[00:02:50] Were tossed about that room

[00:02:56] And now I hear the sound of sirens

[00:03:03] Come knifing through the gloom

[00:03:09] They don't know what they are doing

[00:03:16] They could hardly understand

[00:03:26] That they're only arresting

[00:03:32] Pieces of a man

[00:03:39] I saw him go to pieces

[00:03:45] I saw him go to pieces

[00:03:51] He was always such a good man

[00:03:58] He was always such a good man

[00:04:04] Yeah I saw him go to pieces

[00:04:11] I saw him go to pieces

[00:04:17] I saw him go to pieces
