《The Message》歌词

[00:00:19] One day I'd like to be rich and famous

[00:00:21] Maybe be funny like Andy and Ames

[00:00:23] Be on TV and sing like Stevie

[00:00:26] And have a girl who'd never leave me

[00:00:27] But I'd really like a place

[00:00:28] where there could be no war

[00:00:29] A bright and shiny world where there ain't no poor

[00:00:31] Where there's opportunity, peace and unity

[00:00:34] Where people can be what they want to be

[00:00:37] And where Apartheid could never happen again

[00:00:40] Where people don't judge you by the color of your skin

[00:00:42] Where I hold your hand and you hold mine

[00:00:44] Where a helpful hand is never hard to find

[00:00:46] A place where people care

[00:00:47] Where no one could bear

[00:00:48] When someone's hungry, with nothin' there

[00:00:50] Where the heart is never cold

[00:00:51] The young are never needy,

[00:00:52] The old are never poor,

[00:00:53] And the rich are never greedy

[00:01:27] So bring the power to the people

[00:01:29] The people to the power

[00:01:30] Cuz now is the time, this is the hour

[00:01:32] To stop thinkin' about war start thinkin' about peace

[00:01:34] So on this life, we can get another lease

[00:01:38] With a lesson to learn

[00:01:39] A new direction to turn

[00:01:40] So we can take it to the sky where we belong

[00:01:42] Cuz 'fore to long, we been to wrong

[00:01:44] We've got the right notes

[00:01:45] But we play the wrong song

[00:01:48] Stop thinkin' with your wallet

[00:01:49] Think with your mind

[00:01:50] So we can move ahead

[00:01:51] Instead of behind

[00:01:52] We got the people selling drugs

[00:01:53] People are dying

[00:01:54] Politicians talking and we know they're lyin'

[00:01:56] Taxes for the poor, none for the rich

[00:01:58] People starvin' here in American

[00:01:59] Now ain't that a bummer

[00:02:01] And now my heats been turned off

[00:02:03] From my job, I've been laid off

[00:02:06] What am I gonna do?

[00:02:17] Well, is the shape I'm in

[00:02:17] Because of my dark skin?

[00:02:18] Now I know that can't be true

[00:02:19] But since we're all down here

[00:02:19] Let's work to make it better

[00:02:20] Do our best for what it's worth

[00:02:21] But you know the rules are bent

[00:02:25] When you have to pay rent

[00:02:26] Just to live on earth

[00:02:26] Talk about justice

[00:02:27] We're gonna do something now

[00:02:27] That's gonna be really slick

[00:02:29] We're gonna listen to Mr. Fleck and Chick

[00:02:30] I'm gonna say one more thing

[00:02:31] Then I'll get outta your face

[00:02:32] How 'bout a sound

[00:02:32] With a little bass

[00:02:33] And we got missiles on the ground

[00:02:36] Lasers in space

[00:02:38] Underground shelters, just in case

[00:02:41] That something goes boom

[00:02:43] Certain doom

[00:02:44] Cuz in our hearts we didn't make enough room

[00:02:46] For the love

[00:02:46] It comes from up above

[00:02:48] Let's stop talking war

[00:02:48] And let's offer the dove

[00:02:51] Cuz when it's done it's over

[00:02:53] When it's over, it's done

[00:02:55] We look back at the wars

[00:02:57] And see nobobdy won

[00:03:00] It's time to make a better place

[00:03:01] For out daughters and our sons

[00:03:03] Or life will be a blast

[00:03:44] Pardon the pun
