《Mr. Richards》歌词

[00:00:00] REM - Mr. Richards

[00:00:06] Mr. Richards, your position

[00:00:08] Is a messenger pigeon

[00:00:12] Left behind you when the camp moved on.

[00:00:16] We thought that you would listen

[00:00:22] But the words had never crystallized

[00:00:24] Into a truth that you might own, hey hey.

[00:00:32] Mr. Richards, your decision.

[00:00:35] Pay attention, pay attention.

[00:00:43] Mr. Richards, you're forgiven

[00:00:45] For a narrow lack of vision

[00:00:49] But the fires are still raging on.

[00:00:56] The public's got opinions

[00:00:59] And these consequences border on

[00:01:02] The compound that you raised

[00:01:05] Will sell it see, hey hey.

[00:01:09] Mr. Richards, your decision.

[00:01:13] Pay attention, pay attention.

[00:01:21] So listen, your intention;

[00:01:24] Sign the papers, stamp the ribbon.

[00:01:26] You're mistaken if you think we'll just forget.

[00:01:33] You can thump your chest and rattle,

[00:01:37] Stand in front of your piano,

[00:01:39] But we know what's going on.

[00:01:45] Yes we know what's going on.

[00:01:52] We're the children of the choir, hey

[00:01:58] And we know what's going on.

[00:02:07] Mr. Richards, your conviction

[00:02:11] Had us cheering in the kitchen,

[00:02:13] Now the jury's eating pigeon pie.

[00:02:18] So tell me how is prison?

[00:02:23] Have they taught you how to listen?

[00:02:26] We've begun to bridge the schism.

[00:02:29] Pay attention, pay attention.

[00:02:32] Mr. Richards, your decision.

[00:02:34] Pay attention, pay attention.

[00:02:37] You can thump your chest and rattle,

[00:02:45] Stand in front of your piano

[00:02:48] But we know what's going on.

[00:02:52] Yes we know what's going on.

[00:02:57] We're the children of the choir, hey

[00:03:03] From the compound fire, hey

[00:03:10] And we know what's going on.

[00:03:16] Yes we know what's going on.
