《Great Imperialist State》歌词

[00:00:00] Great Imperialist State - Simone White

[00:00:10] There's a farmer in a distant country working on the land

[00:00:15] A hat upon his head and a shovel in his hand

[00:00:19] Till the soil plant the seed wait a while cut the leaf

[00:00:25] And send another cup of tea to me

[00:00:33] I'm a spoiled child of the great imperialist state

[00:00:38] I cannot kill my meat nor grow the food upon my plate

[00:00:43] I never walked a mile to the well when the tap runs dry do tell

[00:00:49] What will become of you and me

[00:00:54] What will become of us who will give us trust

[00:00:58] Will you believe me when I say I never loved profiting from your pain

[00:01:06] That I felt shame when I looked the other way

[00:01:12] Woke up this morning the revolution knocking down my door

[00:01:17] Those capitalist pigs No they don't live here anymore

[00:01:21] Slipped out the back door into my car how far can you drive how far

[00:01:28] There's a farmer in a distant country working on the land

[00:01:33] Food turned into flowers for the uptown florist stand

[00:01:38] What you saved another paid to turn his soil into sand

[00:01:42] The world will not deliver on demand

[00:01:49] What will become of us who will give us trust

[00:01:54] Will you believe me when I say I never loved profiting from your pain

[00:02:01] That I felt shame when I looked the other way
