The Train from Washington - Gil Scott-Heron (吉尔·斯科特·赛壬)[00:00:00]

During reconstruction time they were folks[00:00:02]

Who have been promised 40 acres and a mule[00:00:03]

And they were told a man with their legal papers[00:00:06]

Could be expected on a train from Washington[00:00:08]

They were folks who waited for him[00:00:11]

And there are folks still waiting for him[00:00:13]

To can't depend on the train from Washington[00:00:16]

It's 100 years overdue[00:00:18]

You can depend on the stars and planets yeah[00:00:34]

They'll always tell you the truth[00:00:38]

You can depend on the 15th of April yeah[00:00:42]

Somehow it always gets through[00:00:46]

You can depend on the daily paper's calls[00:00:50]

They surely bring you the blues[00:00:54]

But don't depend on the train from Washington[00:00:59]

It's one hundred years overdue[00:01:02]

I see people dragging on their own[00:01:06]

See them standing[00:01:10]

Anxious near the tracks[00:01:12]

I see people a long long way from home[00:01:14]

Wondering how they'll ever get back[00:01:18]

You can depend on the politicians yeah[00:01:23]

Always got a point of view[00:01:27]

They are contemporary court magicians yeah[00:01:32]

Sleight of mouth will dazzle you[00:01:35]

You can depend on the repositions from them[00:01:40]

Changes that you've got to go through[00:01:43]

But don't depend on the train from Washington[00:01:48]

It's one hundred years overdue[00:01:51]

I see people on their way to work[00:01:55]

I see factories bursting at the seams[00:01:59]

I see people listening for the whistle[00:02:03]

On the train that will carry their dreams[00:02:07]

I see people on their way to work[00:02:44]

I see factories bursting at the seams[00:02:48]

I see people listening for the whistle[00:02:52]

On the train that will carry their dreams[00:02:56]

You can depend on the folks and gravity[00:03:01]

'Cuz both of them will bring you down[00:03:05]

You can depend on catching something yeah[00:03:09]

Something is going around[00:03:13]

You can depend on the first two numbers but[00:03:18]

Damn if the last one come through[00:03:21]

But don't depend on the train from Washington[00:03:26]

It's one hundred years overdue[00:03:29]

You can't depend on the train from Washington[00:03:34]

It's one hundred years overdue[00:03:37]

Oh lord you see[00:03:40]

You can't depend on the train from Washington[00:03:42]

It's one hundred years overdue[00:03:46]

Don't you over[00:03:48]

But don't depend on the train from Washington[00:03:50]

Eh eh eh[00:03:54]

Eh you know it might not make it[00:03:55]

Everybody knows it's it's running[00:04:02]

It's running late[00:04:04]
