《The Original Wrapper》歌词

[00:00:00] The Original Wrapper - Lou Reed

[00:00:15] I was sittin' home on the West End

[00:00:17] Watchin' cable TV with a female friend

[00:00:19] We were watchin' the news the world's in a mess

[00:00:21] The poor and the hungry a world in distress

[00:00:23] Herpes AIDS the Middle East at full throttle

[00:00:25] Better check that sausage before you put it in the waffle

[00:00:27] And while you're at it check what's in the batter

[00:00:29] Make sure that candy's in the Original Wrapper

[00:00:30] Hey pitcher better check that batter

[00:00:32] Make sure that candy's in the Original Wrapper

[00:00:42] Reagan says abortion's murder

[00:00:44] While he's looking at Cardinal O'Connor

[00:00:45] Look at Jerry Falwell Louis Farrakhan

[00:00:47] Both talk religion and the brotherhood of man

[00:00:49] They both sound like they belong in Teheran

[00:00:52] Watch out they're goin' full throttle

[00:00:53] Better check that sausage before you stick it in the waffle

[00:00:55] And while you're at it better check what's in the batter

[00:00:57] Make sure that candy's in the Original Wrapper

[00:00:59] Hey pitcher better check that batter

[00:01:01] Make sure that candy's in the Original Wrapper

[00:01:11] White against white Black against Jew

[00:01:12] It seems like it's 1942

[00:01:14] The baby sits in front of MTV

[00:01:16] Watching violent fantasies

[00:01:18] While Dad guzzles beer with his favorite sport

[00:01:20] Only to find his heroes are all coked up

[00:01:22] Classic original the same old story

[00:01:23] The politics of hate in a new surrounding

[00:01:26] Hate if it's good and hate if it's bad

[00:01:28] And if this all don't make you mad

[00:01:29] I'll keep yours and I'll keep mine

[00:01:31] Nothing sacred and nothing divine

[00:01:33] Father bless me we're at full throttle

[00:01:35] Better check that sausage before you put it in the waffle

[00:01:37] And while you're at it better check that batter

[00:01:39] Make sure the candy's in the Original Wrapper

[00:01:41] Hey pitcher better check that batter

[00:01:42] Make sure that candy's in the Original Wrapper hey hey

[00:02:00] I was born in the United States

[00:02:01] And I grew up hard but I grew up straight

[00:02:03] I saw a lack of morals and a lack of concern

[00:02:05] A feeling that there's nowhere to turn

[00:02:07] Yippies Hippies and upwardly mobile Yuppies

[00:02:09] Don't treat me like I'm some dumb lackey

[00:02:11] 'Cause the murderer lives while the victims die

[00:02:13] I'd much rather see it an eye for an eye

[00:02:15] A heart for a heart a brain for a brain

[00:02:17] And if this all makes you feel a little insane

[00:02:18] Kick up your heels turn the music up loud

[00:02:20] Pick up your guitar and look out at the crowd and say -

[00:02:23] "Don't mean to come on sanctimonious

[00:02:24] But life's got me nervous and little pugnacious

[00:02:26] Lugubrious so I give a salutation

[00:02:28] And rock on out to beat really stupid

[00:02:29] Ohh poop ah doo and how do you do

[00:02:32] Hip hop gonna bop till I drop"

[00:02:34] Watch out world comin' at you full throttle

[00:02:36] Better check that sausage before you put it in the waffle

[00:02:38] And while you're at it better check that batter

[00:02:39] Make sure the candy's in the Original Wrapper

[00:02:41] Hey hey pitcher better check that batter

[00:02:43] Make sure the candy's in the Original Wrapper

[00:02:45] Hey pitcher better check that batter

[00:02:47] Make sure the candy's in the Original Wrapper hey hey hey
