《Let Me Die In My Footsteps》歌词

[00:00:00] Let Me Die In My Footsteps (让我永远跟随着你) - Phil Ochs (菲尔·奥克斯)

[00:00:06] I will not go down under the ground

[00:00:12] Cause someone tells me that death's comin' 'round

[00:00:16] An' I will not carry myself down to die

[00:00:21] When I go to my grave my head will be high

[00:00:25] Let me die in my footsteps

[00:00:29] Before I go down under the ground

[00:00:36] There's been rumors of war and wars that have been

[00:00:42] The meaning of the life has been lost in the wind

[00:00:46] And some people thinkin' that the end is close by

[00:00:51] Stead of learnin' to live they are learning to die

[00:00:55] Let me die in my footsteps

[00:00:59] Before I go down under the ground

[00:01:07] I don't know if I'm smart but I think I can see

[00:01:12] When someone is pullin' the wool over me

[00:01:16] And if this war comes and death's all around

[00:01:21] Let me die on this land 'fore I die underground

[00:01:25] Let me die in my footsteps

[00:01:30] Before I go down under the ground

[00:01:37] There's always been people that have to cause fear

[00:01:42] They've been talking of the war now for many long years

[00:01:47] I have read all their statements and I've not said a word

[00:01:52] But now lawd god let my poor voice be heard

[00:01:56] Let me die in my footsteps

[00:02:00] Before I go down under the ground

[00:02:08] If I had riches and rubies and crowns

[00:02:13] I'd buy the whole world and change things around

[00:02:17] I'd throw all the tanks and the guns in the sea

[00:02:22] For they are mistakes of a past history

[00:02:26] Let me die in my footsteps

[00:02:31] Before I go down under the ground

[00:02:38] Let me drink from the waters where the mountain streams flood

[00:02:43] Let me smell of wildflowers flow free through my blood

[00:02:47] Let me sleep in your meadows with the green grassy leaves

[00:02:52] Let me walk down the highway with my brother in peace

[00:02:56] Let me die in my footsteps

[00:03:01] Before I go down under the ground

[00:03:06] Go out in your country where the land meets the sun

[00:03:11] See the craters and the canyons where the waterfalls run

[00:03:15] Nevada new mexico arizona idaho

[00:03:21] Let every state in this union seep in your souls

[00:03:25] And you'll die in your footsteps

[00:03:29] Before you go down under the ground
