《Let Them Run Your Lives(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] Let Them Run Your Lives (Album Version) - John Mellencamp

[00:00:11] Hello girls and boys

[00:00:18] As you sit in your carpeted bedrooms

[00:00:23] With your stereos on and on

[00:00:29] Playin' with those hundred dollar toys

[00:00:37] Built to occupy your minds

[00:00:40] So you don't notice your future's are gone

[00:00:47] And as you race on through the streets tonight

[00:00:54] Lookin' for some lonely lover to hold you tight

[00:00:58] You think that the world is alright

[00:01:05] Well you're out of touch you're out of time

[00:01:08] You're gonna crack you're fragile regulated minds

[00:01:13] As you're headin' on to no kind of conclusion

[00:01:23] Go on let 'em run your lives

[00:01:33] Watch 'em as they cut your throat

[00:01:35] With their parental carving knife

[00:01:42] Go on let 'em run your lives

[00:01:49] Are you too young to see

[00:01:52] Or just too old to fight

[00:02:00] They've taken the energy away from you

[00:02:07] They haven't taught you enough to deal

[00:02:10] With the ordeal you must be goin' through

[00:02:15] Yeah but look at this now

[00:02:17] They've left you the schools

[00:02:19] They've left you the government but they're all fallin' down

[00:02:28] Don't forget to make the past due payments

[00:02:35] And in this world of uncertainties you can be certain that

[00:02:45] You must kiss the a** of the authorities

[00:02:53] And kiss you will if you want to survive

[00:03:00] You don't have to look too hard to see

[00:03:03] That there just ain't no free rides

[00:03:05] Hell it takes a real man to survive

[00:03:11] Go on let 'em run your lives

[00:03:19] Watch 'em as they cut your throat

[00:03:23] With their parental carving knife

[00:03:29] Go on let 'em run your lives

[00:03:36] Are you too young to see

[00:03:39] Or just too old to fight

[00:03:46] Well Jay Dee is locked in his soul some kinda hotel

[00:03:52] Well he's burnin' inside

[00:03:55] He shakes shakes shakes all through the night

[00:04:00] And little Ruda Juda is passed out on the floor

[00:04:07] She's just so damn stupid won't somebody

[00:04:10] Take away her gun and show her the door

[00:04:12] Show her the door show her that door's open

[00:04:16] And me I'm so misunderstood but I'm still alive

[00:04:22] And my eyes are open wide to the fact

[00:04:25] That the world just will lie and it'll kick you right in the face

[00:04:30] Go on let 'em run your lives

[00:04:38] Watch 'em as they cut your throat

[00:04:40] With their parental carving knife

[00:04:45] Go on let 'em run your lives

[00:04:51] Are you too young to see

[00:04:53] Or just too old to fight

[00:04:58] Hey are you too young to see

[00:05:00] Or just too old to fight

[00:05:03] Do we have to fight the rest of our lives
