Lawless Avenues (LP版) - Jackson Browne (杰克逊·布朗)[00:00:00]

Papa hit him mama kissed him[00:00:13]

Made him go to Catechism[00:00:16]

With the sisters in their black and white[00:00:20]

And all the time those city streets[00:00:26]

Were teaching him another kind of wisdom[00:00:29]

When to run and when to fight[00:00:33]

Up at the playground after school[00:00:38]

Listening to tales of the prison system[00:00:42]

And those lawless avenues[00:00:48]

Dawn on a half darkened street[00:00:57]

A child's footsteps repeat[00:01:04]

And something there turns them[00:01:10]

Down those lawless avenues[00:01:13]

Silent Joe went down so bad[00:01:23]

He was the strongest fighter the avenues had[00:01:26]

Stabbed in the chest he went down swinging[00:01:30]

Someone from some other part of town[00:01:36]

No one even seen the coming down[00:01:39]

And we don't hear no church bells ringing[00:01:42]

And in the violent night the police light[00:01:47]

Sweeps across the lots and the yards[00:01:51]

Following those lawless avenues[00:01:55]

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah Lord[00:02:00]

Down on a half darkened street[00:02:04]

Armies advance and retreat[00:02:11]

Struggle to take control[00:02:17]

From those lawless avenues[00:02:20]

Manuelito's sister Rosa[00:02:49]

Ran away with a surfer from Hermosa[00:02:52]

Manuelito cuida a Rosa[00:02:55]

Hay mira como estan las cosas[00:02:58]

But who could blame her after she saw[00:03:01]

Every boy die who could have gotten[00:03:04]

Rosa es joven u solo quiere[00:03:07]

Ay ver la belleza del mundo[00:03:11]

That were see[00:03:14]

You gotta fight for what you want in this life[00:03:15]

Just before they shipped him overseas to 'Nam[00:03:17]

Otra guerra sin razon[00:03:21]

Otra guerra sin fin sin honor[00:03:23]

She was fighting to understand[00:03:27]

When they shipped Manuelito's body home[00:03:30]

All she heard was one more shot[00:03:35]

Echoing down lawless avenues[00:03:40]

Hoy amigo tal igual como ayer[00:03:45]

La lucha en el barrio no cambia[00:03:49]

Nuestros hijos son los que han de crecer[00:03:53]

Por ley de la calle viviendo entre abrazos[00:03:58]

Y chingazos[00:04:03]

Down on a half darkened street[00:04:33]

Fathers' and sons' fibes repeat[00:04:39]

The something there turns them[00:04:45]

Down those lawless avenues[00:04:48]

Down on a half darkened street[00:04:58]

En el calor de la calle[00:05:02]

Down on a half darkened street[00:05:04]

Buscan valor en la calle[00:05:08]

Down on a half darkened street[00:05:11]

Hasta final de la calle[00:05:14]

Down on a half darkened street[00:05:17]

Woo woo[00:05:20]

Hey hey hey hey hey hey yeah yeah yeah yeah[00:05:23]
