《Unsettled Scores》歌词

[00:06:55] UNSETTLED SCORES

[00:06:55] [The Man

[00:06:55] There's a prayer for the living and the dying

[00:06:55] There's a prayer to soothe the savage sea

[00:06:55] There's a prayer it seems for almost everything

[00:06:55] But you, you haven't got a prayer for me

[00:06:55] And I, I haven't got a prayer

[00:06:55] So many cries in the night that you try to ignore

[00:06:55] Why didn't I do this ?, why didn't I do that ?

[00:06:55] So many unbroken chains, so many unsettled scores

[00:06:55] The old man at the bank that sneers

[00:06:55] The teachers and their slaps

[00:06:55] The brutal eyes, the uniforms

[00:06:55] The lawyers and their traps

[00:06:55] The lonely girls who yearn to love

[00:06:55] And learn to kiss and dance

[00:06:55] The rich and selfish widow

[00:06:55] In the market for romance

[00:06:55] The soldier with the smell of war

[00:06:55] That never fades away

[00:06:55] The hero on the playing fields

[00:06:55] Forgotten in a day

[00:06:55] The priest in the confessional

[00:06:55] The trembling hands and whispered sighs

[00:06:55] The doctors in the hospital

[00:06:55] Unending tests and twisted lies

[00:06:55] The betrayers, the betrayed

[00:06:55] The abandoned, the afraid

[00:06:55] The corrupted and the celebrated

[00:06:55] Endlessly humiliated

[00:06:55] Gloriously big parade

[00:06:55] You can say a prayer for everyone

[00:06:55] That there could ever be

[00:06:55] Say a prayer for all of these and more

[00:06:55] But there's still no prayer for me

[00:06:55] Say a prayer for your purest daughter

[00:06:55] Toll a bell for your only son

[00:06:55] There's no way out and all my prayers

[00:06:55] Are fading one by one

[00:06:55] The stern and disapproving lips

[00:06:55] The friends who just attack

[00:06:55] The fathers that they take away

[00:06:55] The ones that can't get back

[00:06:55] The desperate boy who sleeps alone

[00:06:55] Whoever's in his bed

[00:06:55] The chosen ones they get a home

[00:06:55] The blessed get ahead

[00:06:55] The kids out playing softball

[00:06:55] In the fading summer night

[00:06:55] The teenage lovers at the drive-in

[00:06:55] The glow of the dashboard light

[00:06:55] An American flyer on a steep incline

[00:06:55] The wind blowing through your hair

[00:06:55] The trophies and the holidays, they vanished in the air

[00:06:55] The betrayers the betrayed, the abandoned the afraid

[00:06:55] The glorified the idolised, the big shots and their jealous eyes

[00:06:55] An amazingly big parade

[00:06:55] You can say a prayer for anyone

[00:06:55] You've known or you might see

[00:06:55] Say a prayer for all of these and more

[00:06:55] But there's still no prayer for me

[00:06:55] Say a prayer for every living thing

[00:06:55] The unborn and deceased

[00:06:55] But I haven't got a prayer I know

[00:06:55] That's the nature of the beast
