《They Should Have Shut Down the Streets》歌词

[00:00:00] They Should Have Shut Down the Streets - A.C. Newman

[00:00:17] They should have shut down all the streets

[00:00:22] Presidents and kings should have been there

[00:00:26] With not a single empty seat

[00:00:31] All the schools closed and the roads we drove down all lined

[00:00:40] Lined with people cap in hand and crying

[00:00:48] That went on for miles and miles and miles and miles

[00:01:09] They should have shut down all the streets

[00:01:14] All the papers plastered with tributes

[00:01:18] We should have asked for privacy

[00:01:23] Though we understand it that some want to share their pain

[00:01:31] We would ask to grieve this in our quiet way

[00:01:40] And they should have asked again and again and again

[00:02:01] They should have shut down all the streets

[00:02:06] All the bouquets piled on the doorstep

[00:02:10] And pages filled with crayon hearts that a second grade class had made

[00:02:18] In their school that day

[00:02:23] Because the teacher had to give in some small way

[00:02:32] And there weren't that many ways left for her to say it

[00:02:53] They should have shut down all the streets
