Waiting for the Axe to Fall - Gil Scott-Heron (吉尔·斯科特·赛壬)[00:00:00]

Written by：Gil Scott-Heron[00:00:02]

Haah[00:00:16]

Brother livin' in a cell[00:00:25]

Doin' time in a County jail now[00:00:28]

You might think his life is hell[00:00:32]

But he told me first room[00:00:35]

He ever had to himself[00:00:37]

Waitin' for the axe to fall[00:00:41]

Sometimes lord I think that's all[00:00:45]

When you're head is on a block[00:00:48]

Ain't no way for it to stop[00:00:50]

You're waitin' for the axe to fall[00:00:53]

Brother served in viet nam and[00:01:14]

Found out no one gives a damn[00:01:18]

See[00:01:21]

Agent orange fell on his camp[00:01:22]

But everybody went deaf[00:01:24]

Brother turned looking for uncle Sam[00:01:26]

Waiting for the axe to fall[00:01:30]

Sometimes lord I think that's all[00:01:34]

When your head is in the noose[00:01:38]

And won't nobody turn you loose[00:01:39]

You're waiting for the axe to fall[00:01:42]

Sister on the welfare line[00:02:18]

Examining the threads of her life[00:02:22]

She never thought[00:02:26]

She'd be cheatin' and lyin'[00:02:27]

Makin' sure her[00:02:30]

And her kids survive[00:02:31]

It's so much better[00:02:33]

Waitin' for the axe to fall[00:02:34]

And sometimes lord I think that's all[00:02:38]

When you're head is on the block[00:02:42]

And ain't no way trying to stop[00:02:44]

You're waitin' for the axe to fall[00:02:47]

Last night grandma should got shook[00:03:08]

'Cause someone took her pocketbook[00:03:11]

She ain't safe in the neighborhood[00:03:16]

'Cause too many youngin's up to no good[00:03:19]

They're say can tight[00:03:22]

Waitin' for the axe to fall[00:03:24]

And sometimes lord I think that's all[00:03:27]

When your head is in the noose[00:03:31]

And won't nobody turn you loose[00:03:33]

You're waitin' for the axe to fall[00:03:36]

See you like to waitin'[00:03:39]

Feel just like waitin'[00:03:41]

See you like to waitin'[00:03:43]

Everybody waitin'[00:03:45]

See you like to waitin'[00:03:47]

Feel you like to waitin'[00:03:49]

See you like to[00:03:51]

See you like to[00:03:52]

Waitin' and waitin'[00:03:53]

And waitin' say[00:03:55]

Waitin' for the axe to fall[00:03:56]

And sometimes lord I think that's all[00:04:00]

'Cause when your head is on the block[00:04:04]

And ain't no way trying to stop[00:04:06]

You're waitin' for the axe to fall[00:04:08]

See you like to waitin'[00:04:12]

Everybody waitin'[00:04:14]

Never standin' waitin'[00:04:16]

Stand alone in waitin'[00:04:18]

See you like to waitin'[00:04:20]

See you like to waitin'[00:04:22]

See you like to[00:04:24]

See you like to[00:04:25]

See you like to[00:04:26]

See you like to[00:04:27]

Waitin' for the axe to fall[00:04:29]

And sometimes lord I think that's all[00:04:33]

'Cause when your head is in the noose[00:04:36]

And won't nobody turn you loose[00:04:38]

You're waitin' for the axe to fall[00:04:41]
