The Bottle - Paul Weller (保罗·威勒)[00:00:00]
Written by:Gil Scott-Heron[00:00:03]
See that white boy over there runnin' scared[00:00:07]
His ol' man's got a bottle [00:00:10]
He said he's gonna quit his 9 to 5 now he's drinking full time[00:00:15]
In the bottle [00:00:18]
See that fat boy over there runnin' scared[00:00:22]
His ol' man got a problem[00:00:25]
Pawned off damn near everything his ol'[00:00:30]
Woman's weddin' ring for a bottle [00:00:32]
And don't you think it's a crime[00:00:38]
When time after time after time livin' in the bottle [00:00:42]
Now he's in the bottle [00:00:48]
See that sister sure looks fine before she[00:00:53]
Started sippin' wine[00:00:55]
From the bottle [00:00:56]
She told me her ol' man committed a crime[00:00:59]
And now he's doin' time [00:01:02]
She's livin' in the bottle [00:01:03]
She's out there on the avenue all by herself[00:01:07]
Sho' needs help from the bottle [00:01:10]
Preacherman tried to help her out [00:01:15]
She cussed him out and hit him in the head with a bottle [00:01:17]
And don't you think it's a crime[00:01:23]
When time after time after time livin' in the bottle [00:01:27]
Now he's in the bottle [00:01:33]
See that gent in the wrinkled suit[00:02:00]
He done damn near blown his cool[00:02:02]
To the bottle[00:02:04]
He was a doctor helpin' young girls along[00:02:07]
If they weren't too far gone to have a problem [00:02:09]
But defenders of the dollar bill[00:02:15]
Said 'What you doin' Doc it ain't legal '[00:02:17]
And now he's in the bottle [00:02:19]
Now we watch him everyday tryin' to[00:02:23]
Chase the pigeons away[00:02:25]
From the bottle [00:02:27]
And don't you think it's a crime[00:02:31]
When time after time after time livin' in the bottle [00:02:35]
Now he's in the bottle[00:02:41]
