Let Me Die In My Footsteps (让我永远跟随着你) - Phil Ochs (菲尔·奥克斯)[00:00:00]
I will not go down under the ground[00:00:06]
Cause someone tells me that death's comin' 'round[00:00:12]
An' I will not carry myself down to die[00:00:16]
When I go to my grave my head will be high[00:00:21]
Let me die in my footsteps[00:00:25]
Before I go down under the ground[00:00:29]
There's been rumors of war and wars that have been[00:00:36]
The meaning of the life has been lost in the wind[00:00:42]
And some people thinkin' that the end is close by[00:00:46]
Stead of learnin' to live they are learning to die[00:00:51]
Let me die in my footsteps[00:00:55]
Before I go down under the ground[00:00:59]
I don't know if I'm smart but I think I can see[00:01:07]
When someone is pullin' the wool over me[00:01:12]
And if this war comes and death's all around[00:01:16]
Let me die on this land 'fore I die underground[00:01:21]
Let me die in my footsteps[00:01:25]
Before I go down under the ground[00:01:30]
There's always been people that have to cause fear[00:01:37]
They've been talking of the war now for many long years[00:01:42]
I have read all their statements and I've not said a word[00:01:47]
But now lawd god let my poor voice be heard[00:01:52]
Let me die in my footsteps[00:01:56]
Before I go down under the ground[00:02:00]
If I had riches and rubies and crowns[00:02:08]
I'd buy the whole world and change things around[00:02:13]
I'd throw all the tanks and the guns in the sea[00:02:17]
For they are mistakes of a past history[00:02:22]
Let me die in my footsteps[00:02:26]
Before I go down under the ground[00:02:31]
Let me drink from the waters where the mountain streams flood[00:02:38]
Let me smell of wildflowers flow free through my blood[00:02:43]
Let me sleep in your meadows with the green grassy leaves[00:02:47]
Let me walk down the highway with my brother in peace[00:02:52]
Let me die in my footsteps[00:02:56]
Before I go down under the ground[00:03:01]
Go out in your country where the land meets the sun[00:03:06]
See the craters and the canyons where the waterfalls run[00:03:11]
Nevada new mexico arizona idaho[00:03:15]
Let every state in this union seep in your souls[00:03:21]
And you'll die in your footsteps[00:03:25]
Before you go down under the ground[00:03:29]
