《Poets And Slaves(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:01] Poets And Slaves - Midnight Oil

[00:00:11] Here comes the mechanical sun

[00:00:22] Working on the bones in the dry old creek bed

[00:00:32] Mist on the old river bend yellow box hangs like it's dead

[00:00:40] The emerald silo is rusting from the inside

[00:00:49] You want to run like the wind you'll never come here again

[00:00:59] You want a world you can save so c'mon you poets and slaves

[00:01:17] Circus olympia pulls into town

[00:01:27] The dwarf and the fat man head out for beer

[00:01:37] There is no lion that roars no one can stand on the horse

[00:01:46] Tomorrow is a no show the fortune teller cries

[00:01:55] You want to go down in flames you're gonna crash like the waves

[00:02:05] You can't remember your name so come on you poets and slaves

[00:02:40] We got everything we need sugar and beef

[00:02:50] We got some good ideas

[00:02:53] We got the steering wheels and rolling stock too

[00:03:00] Clouds came down low on the corn

[00:03:06] Meat ants are gathering like storms

[00:03:09] Somewhere in the quiet wild darkness a crocodile cries

[00:03:18] You gotta you gotta you gotta

[00:03:33] C'mon you poets and slaves

[00:03:59] You got to arrest the decay you're sinking down in the bay

[00:04:09] You can't remember your name c'mon you poets and slaves

[00:04:19] You've got to count what you've made

[00:04:24] You're gonna pass like the days

[00:04:29] Stop time and head for the stage

[00:04:34] And c'mon you poets and slaves

[00:04:39] C'mon you poets and slaves (repeated)
