Party Of God (Remastered Version) - Natalie Merchant (娜坦莉·莫森特)/Billy Bragg[00:00:00]
In a busy street [00:00:22]
A man sits down[00:00:24]
Oblivious to the traffic sounds[00:00:26]
No chaos [00:00:29]
No frenzied shrieking crowd[00:00:31]
Thank God their silence [00:00:33]
Walking heads bent down[00:00:35]
Come when they saw us[00:00:39]
Called it lethargy[00:00:41]
The treadmill turns[00:00:44]
There down below their feet[00:00:46]
Should I pray[00:00:51]
For an end to come[00:00:53]
Quickly quickly [00:00:56]
Quickly quickly[00:00:57]
Or cross the waves[00:00:59]
Of an angry sea[00:01:01]
Risking risking[00:01:03]
And braving braving[00:01:04]
The shipwreck and the[00:01:06]
Mutiny assailing assailing[00:01:08]
In a haunted doorway[00:01:18]
And from the light of day[00:01:20]
See another life[00:01:21]
Fall to ruin in pain[00:01:22]
False smiles from[00:01:25]
Even children it seems[00:01:26]
Landlocked ground[00:01:29]
For empty and lost dreams[00:01:30]
A league against me[00:01:34]
I hear him say[00:01:36]
It's not worth half the effort[00:01:39]
Or the price you pay[00:01:43]
Should I pray[00:01:46]
For an end to come[00:01:48]
Quickly quickly [00:01:51]
Quickly quickly[00:01:52]
Or should I raise my[00:01:54]
Face to the Heavens above[00:01:55]
And tell God dear God [00:01:58]
Stop jeering and jeering[00:02:00]
As our human frailties[00:02:01]
And all our failings [00:02:03]
Are we failing [00:02:04]
Pound pound on[00:02:05]
An endless street[00:02:13]
Again and again[00:02:16]
The nightmare scene[00:02:18]
All strained against[00:02:20]
The tightened rope[00:02:22]
Not one with a[00:02:24]
Lasting lingering hope[00:02:25]
There's evidence[00:02:29]
Everywhere you see[00:02:30]
Put a quarter down[00:02:34]
At the newsstand[00:02:36]
So that you can read[00:02:38]
Should I pray[00:02:41]
For an end to come[00:02:43]
Quickly quickly [00:02:46]
Quickly quickly[00:02:47]
Or should I raise my[00:02:49]
Face to the clouds above[00:02:50]
Entreating entreating[00:02:52]
Their mercy some mercy[00:02:54]
But as clouds will do [00:02:56]
They'll rain down[00:02:58]
First gently gently[00:03:00]
And sweetly so sweetly[00:03:02]
Until they silence me[00:03:04]
With a burst of thunder [00:03:06]
Thunder and lightning and lightning[00:03:08]
And helpless landlocked screaming[00:03:11]
I know god must be agreeing[00:03:13]
It's the worst part of watching[00:03:18]
It's the worst part of watching[00:03:21]
It's the worst part of watching[00:03:25]
It's the worst part[00:03:28]
Landlocked in screaming[00:03:37]
God must be agreeing[00:03:40]
To be helpless is the worst[00:03:43]
Must be the worst part of watching[00:03:50]
The worst part of watching[00:03:58]
