《Sons And Daughters》歌词

[00:00:00] Sons And Daughters - The Neville Brothers

[00:00:14] Young man on his way home from the market

[00:00:20] Just enjoying a beautiful afternoon

[00:00:25] Gets kind of dark sun just set

[00:00:32] There's these other young men standing

[00:00:34] On the corner nothing to do just hangin' around

[00:00:42] They're passing out their weapons to each other

[00:00:47] Brass knuckles pipes chains half a bricks

[00:00:58] Broken bottles switchblades

[00:01:05] Young man lands in jail for some crime he did not commit

[00:01:12] 352 years hard labor in Angola prison 352 years at hard labor

[00:01:22] Sleepless nights between sugar cane and cotton

[00:01:29] It's where he learns the ropes and pays with his soul

[00:01:34] For some crime he did not commit

[00:01:41] We think we're safe at home with our bumper stickers saying just say no

[00:01:48] We give up a few freedoms here and there in the name of a

[00:01:53] Squeaky clean America

[00:01:56] Now they've got us hypnotized and hysterical

[00:02:00] Now they've got us hypnotized and hysterical

[00:02:05] Screaming for blood and justice

[00:02:06] Now they've got us hypnotized and hysterical

[00:02:11] Screaming for blood and justice

[00:02:15] They show us the faces of hatred over and over a new one every

[00:02:19] Week

[00:02:22] Could be Manuel Noriega

[00:02:25] Could be the ayatollah

[00:02:27] Any old scapegoat I'll do

[00:02:30] The young man will be our sacrificial lamb

[00:02:35] Prochoice no choice

[00:02:37] We're sending our sons and daughters to their slaughter

[00:02:42] Prochoice no choice

[00:02:45] Slogans mean nothing

[00:02:48] To a young man facing 352 years hard labor in Angola

[00:02:54] For a crime he did not commit

[00:03:00] It's freedom of speech as long as you don't say too much

[00:03:09] You can't stop running water

[00:03:15] You can't kill the fire that burns inside

[00:03:19] Don't deny our flesh and blood

[00:03:23] And don't forsake our sons and daughters

[00:03:28] You can't stop running water

[00:03:38] You can't kill the fire that burns inside

[00:03:47] Don't deny our flesh and blood

[00:03:57] Don't forsake our sons and daughters

[00:04:06] It's freedom of speech as long as you don't say too much

[00:04:13] I think we're all runnin' thinkin' that we can hide

[00:04:19] I think we're runnin' tryin' to get away

[00:04:24] But sooner or later we gonna realize

[00:04:28] We gonna meet up with the truth face to face
