Garbage (如果我试着爱她) - Pete Seeger (皮特·西格)[00:00:00]
Mister thompson calls the waiter[00:00:05]
Orders steak and baked potato[00:00:07]
Then he leaves the bone and gristle[00:00:09]
And he never eats the skin[00:00:11]
The busboy comes and takes it[00:00:15]
With a cough contaminates it[00:00:17]
And he puts it in a can with coffee grounds[00:00:19]
And sardine tins[00:00:22]
And the truck comes by on friday and carts it all away[00:00:25]
A thousand trucks just like it are converging on the bay[00:00:30]
Oh garbage garbage garbage garbage[00:00:33]
Garbage garbage garbage garbage[00:00:36]
We're filling up the seas with garbage[00:00:38]
Garbage garbage garbage[00:00:41]
What will we do when there's no place left[00:00:42]
To put all the garbage[00:00:45]
Garbage garbage garbage garbage[00:00:47]
Garbage garbage[00:00:48]
Mr thompson starts his cadillac[00:00:50]
And winds it down the freeway track[00:00:52]
Leaving friends and neighbors in a hydrocarbon haze[00:00:54]
He's joined by lots of smaller cars[00:01:00]
All sending gases to the stars[00:01:02]
There to form a seething cloud that[00:01:04]
Hangs for thirty days[00:01:06]
And the sun licks down into it with an ultraviolet tongue[00:01:10]
Till it turns to smog and then it settles in our lungs[00:01:14]
Oh garbage garbage garbage garbage garbage garbage[00:01:18]
Garbage[00:01:21]
We're filling up the sky with garbage[00:01:22]
Garbage garbage garbage garbage[00:01:25]
Garbage garbage[00:01:27]
What will we do when there's nothing left to breathe but garbage[00:01:28]
Garbage garbage garbage garbage garbage garbage[00:01:33]
Getting home and taking off his shoes[00:01:38]
He settles with the evening news[00:01:40]
While the kids do homework with the tv in one ear[00:01:42]
While superman for thousandth's time sell[00:01:47]
Talking dolls and conquers crime[00:01:50]
They dutifully learn the date of birth of paul revere[00:01:52]
In the paper there's a piece about[00:01:57]
The mayor's middle name[00:01:59]
And he gets it ready in time[00:02:01]
To watch the all star bingo game[00:02:03]
Oh garbage[00:02:05]
Garbage garbage garbage garbage[00:02:06]
Garbage garbage[00:02:08]
We're filling up our minds with garbage[00:02:09]
Garbage garbage garbage garbage garbage garbage[00:02:12]
What will we do when there's nothing left to read[00:02:15]
And there's nothing left to need[00:02:19]
There's nothing left to watch[00:02:21]
There's nothing left to touch[00:02:23]
There's nothing left to walk upon[00:02:25]
And nothing left to ponder on[00:02:27]
Nothing left to see[00:02:29]
And nothing left to be but garbage[00:02:30]
Garbage garbage garbage garbage garbage garbage[00:02:33]
Garbage garbage[00:02:36]
Garbage[00:02:41]
Garbage garbage garbage[00:02:44]
In Mr thompson's factory they're making plastic christmas trees[00:02:48]
Complete with silver tinsel and a geodesic stand[00:02:52]
The plastic's mixed in giant vats[00:02:58]
From some conglomeration that's[00:03:00]
Been piped from deep within the earth or strip mined from the land[00:03:02]
And if you ask them questions they say why don't you see[00:03:08]
It's absolutely needed for the economy[00:03:11]
Oh garbage garbage garbage garbage garbage garbage[00:03:15]
Garbage[00:03:18]
Their stocks and their bonds all garbage[00:03:19]
Garbage[00:03:22]
What will they do when their system go to smash[00:03:23]
There's no value to their cash[00:03:27]
There's no money to be made[00:03:28]
That there's a world to be repaid[00:03:30]
Their kids will read in history book[00:03:32]
About financiers and other crooks[00:03:34]
And feudalism and slavery[00:03:36]
And nukes and all their knavery[00:03:38]
To history's dustbin they're consigned[00:03:41]
Along with many other kinds of garbage[00:03:43]
Garbage garbage garbage garbage garbage[00:03:46]
