《For the First Time》歌词

[00:00:00] For The First Time - Jim Wellman

[00:00:20] I'll concede that leadership had merit

[00:00:30] And I'll have to give some credit

[00:00:35] That it brought stability

[00:00:41] But with mass communications

[00:00:45] They got ideas above their stations

[00:00:51] And then assumed oligarchy

[00:00:56] Made an ass of you and me

[00:01:02] But for the first time ever in history

[00:01:13] A possibility

[00:01:18] Of restoring what we once did have

[00:01:24] A meritocracy

[00:01:29] A new ubiquity of a great diversity

[00:01:39] And general selectivity

[00:01:46] Though some say

[00:01:49] The technology's not liberating

[00:01:55] It is in fact debilitating

[00:02:01] Harshest control we've ever seen

[00:02:05] But we could make some new revisions

[00:02:11] And with some open sourced precision

[00:02:16] A bit congress there could be

[00:02:22] A commons for humanity

[00:02:28] Cos for the first time ever in history

[00:02:38] The future's ours to seize my friends

[00:02:43] Within this technology

[00:02:48] Don't be no Wylie coyote

[00:02:54] And just give up so easily

[00:02:59] Don't be persuaded by the fears they have

[00:03:04] Of our net neutrality

[00:03:54] Beware of new deceptions

[00:03:58] They'll play on our perceptions

[00:04:03] And they'll attempt to intervene

[00:04:08] Because they can't project their memes

[00:04:15] For the first time ever in history

[00:04:24] No editors for what is newsworthy

[00:04:30] A view from all sides at the scene

[00:04:36] Unlimited discussion

[00:04:40] Of all possible repercussions

[00:04:46] A new ubiquity a possibility
