Ballad Of Accounting - The Delgados[00:00:00]

In the morning we built this city[00:00:05]

In the afternoon walked through it's streets[00:00:08]

Evening saw us leaving[00:00:12]

We wandered through our days[00:00:15]

As if they would never end[00:00:17]

All of us imagined we had endless time to spend[00:00:19]

We hardly saw the crossroads and[00:00:23]

Small attention gave to landmarks[00:00:25]

In the journey from the cradle to the grave[00:00:28]

Cradle to the grave cradle to the grave[00:00:31]

Did you learn to dream in the morning[00:00:45]

Abandon dreams in the afternoon[00:00:48]

Wait without hope in the evening[00:00:52]

Did you stand there in the traces and let them feed you lies[00:00:56]

Did you trail along behind them wearing blinkers on your eyes[00:01:00]

Did you kiss the foot that kicked you[00:01:03]

Did you thank them for their scorn[00:01:05]

Did you ask for their forgiveness for the act of being born[00:01:07]

Act of being born act of being born[00:01:11]

Did you alter the face of this city[00:01:21]

Did you make any change in the world you found[00:01:25]

Or did you observe all the warnings[00:01:28]

Did you read this trespass notice that you keep off the grass[00:01:32]

Did you shuffle off the pavement just to let your betters pass[00:01:36]

Did you learn to keep your mouth shut[00:01:40]

To be seen and never heard[00:01:42]

Did you learn to be obedient[00:01:44]

And jump to an a word and jump to an a word[00:01:45]

And jump to an a word[00:01:49]

Did you ever demand any answers[00:02:01]

The who and the what and the reason why[00:02:05]

Did you ever question the setup[00:02:09]

Did you stand aside and let them choose[00:02:12]

While you took second best[00:02:14]

Did you let them skim cream off[00:02:16]

And then give to you the rest[00:02:18]

Did you settle for the shoddy[00:02:20]

Did you think it right to let them rob right and left[00:02:22]

And never make a fight never make a fight[00:02:25]

Never make a fight[00:02:29]

What did you learn in the morning[00:02:41]

How much did you know in the afternoon[00:02:43]

Were you content in the evening[00:02:47]

Did't you how to question[00:02:51]

When you were at the school[00:02:53]

Did the factory help you grow over you[00:02:55]

To make an ardor too[00:02:57]

Did the place where you were living[00:02:59]

Enrich your life with land[00:03:01]

Did you reach some understanding of all your fellow man[00:03:02]

All your fellow man all your fellow man[00:03:06]
