《What Made America Famous?》歌词

[00:00:00] What Made America Famous? (是什么让美国出名?) - Harry Chapin
[00:00:13] It was the town that made America famous
[00:00:20] The churches full and the kids all gone to hell
[00:00:26] Six traffic lights and seven cops
[00:00:29] And all the streets kept clean
[00:00:32] The supermarket and the drug store
[00:00:35] And the bars all doing well
[00:00:40] Now they were the folks that made America famous
[00:00:46] The local fire department stocked
[00:00:49] With shorthaired volunteers
[00:00:53] And on Saturday night while America boozes
[00:00:56] The fire department showed dirty movies
[00:00:59] The lawyer and the grocer seeing their dreams
[00:01:02] Come to life on the movie screens
[00:01:05] While the plumber hopes that he won't be seen
[00:01:08] As he tries to hide his fears and he wipes away his tears
[00:01:17] But something's burning somewhere
[00:01:20] Does anybody care
[00:01:28] We were the kids that made America famous
[00:01:34] The kind of kids that long since drove our parents to despair
[00:01:40] We were lazy long hairs dropping out lost confused
[00:01:45] And copping out
[00:01:47] Convinced our futures were in doubt
[00:01:50] And trying not to care
[00:01:55] We lived in the house that made America famous
[00:02:01] It was a rundown slum the shame of
[00:02:03] All the decent folks in town
[00:02:07] We hippies and some welfare cases
[00:02:10] Crowded families with coal black faces
[00:02:14] Cramped inside some cracked old boards
[00:02:16] The best that we all could afford
[00:02:19] But still too fine for the rich landlord
[00:02:22] To ever tear it down and we could hear the sound
[00:02:28] Of something burning somewhere Is anybody there
[00:02:40] We all lived the life that made America famous
[00:02:46] The cops would make a point to shadow us around our town
[00:02:52] And we "love children" put a swastika
[00:02:55] On the bright red firehouse door
[00:02:59] America the beautiful it makes a body proud
[00:03:10] And then came the night that made America famous
[00:03:16] Was it carelessness or someone's sick idea of a joke
[00:03:22] In the tinderbox trap that we hippies lived in
[00:03:25] Someone struck a spark
[00:03:28] At first I thought that I was dreaming
[00:03:31] Then I saw the first flames gleaming
[00:03:34] And heard the sound of children screaming
[00:03:38] Coming through the smoke
[00:03:42] And Something's burning somewhere Does anybody care
[00:03:53] It was the fire that made America famous
[00:03:59] The sirens wailed and
[00:04:01] The firemen stumbled sleepy from their homes
[00:04:05] And the plumber yelled: "Come on let's go "
[00:04:08] They saw what was burning and said: "Take it slow
[00:04:11] Let 'em sweat a little they'll never know
[00:04:14] And besides we just cleaned the chrome "
[00:04:18] Said the plumber: "Then I'm going alone "
[00:04:25] Well he rolled on up in the fire truck
[00:04:28] And raised the ladder to the ledge
[00:04:31] Where me and my girl and a couple of kids
[00:04:34] Were clinging like bats to the edge
[00:04:39] We staggered to salvation
[00:04:42] Collapsed on the street
[00:04:44] And I never thought that a fat man's face
[00:04:47] Would ever look so sweet
[00:04:56] I shook his hand in the scene that made America famous
[00:05:04] And a smile from the heart that made America great
[00:05:11] We spent the rest of that night
[00:05:13] In the home of this man that we never known before
[00:05:19] It's funny when you get that close
[00:05:22] It's kind of hard to hate
[00:05:31] I went to sleep with the hope that made America famous
[00:05:37] I had the kind of a dream that maybe
[00:05:40] They're still trying to teach in school
[00:05:44] Of the America that made America famous and
[00:05:51] Of the people who just might understand
[00:05:55] That how together yes we can
[00:05:58] Create a country better than
[00:06:01] The one we have made of this land
[00:06:05] We have a choice to make each man
[00:06:08] Who dares to dream reaching out his hand
[00:06:11] A prophet or just a crazy God damn
[00:06:15] Dreamer of a fool yes a crazy fool
[00:06:23] There's something burning somewhere
[00:06:29] Does anybody care
[00:06:34] Is anybody there
[00:06:37] Is anybody there
