Talking Cuban Crisis (LP版) - Phil Ochs (菲尔·奥克斯)[00:00:00]
It was just a little while ago[00:00:08]
I glued my ears to the radio[00:00:10]
The announcer was saying wed better beware[00:00:13]
A crisis was hanging a wave from the air[00:00:15]
Crawling on the ground[00:00:19]
Swimming in the sea[00:00:20]
Heading for me[00:00:22]
Well I didn't know if I was for or again it[00:00:26]
He was yelling and screaming a mile a minute[00:00:28]
Well he said here comes the president[00:00:31]
But first this word from pepsodent[00:00:33]
Have whiter teeth[00:00:39]
Have cleaner breath[00:00:41]
When you're facing nuclear death[00:00:42]
And then president john began to speak[00:00:48]
And I knew right away he wouldn't be weak[00:00:50]
Well he said hed seen some missile bases[00:00:52]
And terrible smiles on cuban faces[00:00:54]
Close pictures[00:00:57]
Carrying land reform too far[00:00:59]
Giving land to the ussr[00:01:02]
Well he said we mustn't be afraid[00:01:07]
Were setting up a little blockade[00:01:09]
Put our ships along the cuban shores[00:01:12]
And if the russian bear yells and roars [00:01:15]
Well let him have it[00:01:16]
From turkey and greece formosa and spain[00:01:21]
The peaceful west european plaing[00:01:23]
From alaska and greenland well use our means[00:01:25]
And twenty thousand submarines[00:01:28]
Were gonna teach the russians a lesson[00:01:31]
For trying to upset the balance of power[00:01:34]
Now most americans stood behind[00:01:40]
The president and his military minds[00:01:42]
But me I stood behind a bar[00:01:45]
Dreaming of a spaceship getaway car[00:01:47]
Head for mars[00:01:50]
Any other planet that has bars[00:01:53]
Like gerdes folk city[00:01:55]
Yes it seemed the presidents stand was strong and plain[00:01:58]
But some republicans was a going insane[00:02:00]
And they still are[00:02:03]
They said our plan was just too mild[00:02:04]
Spare the rod and spoil the child[00:02:07]
Let's sink cuba into the sea[00:02:10]
And give them back democracy[00:02:13]
Under the water[00:02:15]
Well the deadline was set for ten o'clock[00:02:19]
For a cold war it was a getting hot[00:02:21]
Well the russians tried the russians failed[00:02:24]
Homeward bound those missiles sailed[00:02:26]
Mr khruschev said better red than dead[00:02:30]
