Pieces of a Man - Gil Scott-Heron (吉尔·斯科特·赛壬)[00:00:00]
Written by:Gil Scott-Heron/Brian Jackson[00:00:14]
Jagged jigsaw pieces[00:00:28]
Tossed about the room[00:00:34]
I saw my grandma sweeping[00:00:40]
With her old straw broom[00:00:47]
She didn't know what she was doing[00:00:53]
She could hardly understand[00:00:59]
That she was really sweeping up[00:01:10]
Pieces of a man[00:01:17]
I saw my daddy greet the mailman[00:01:23]
And I heard the mailman say[00:01:29]
Now don't you take this letter to heart now jimmy[00:01:35]
Cause they've laid off nine others today[00:01:42]
He didn't know what he was saying[00:01:48]
He could hardly understand[00:01:55]
That he was only talking to[00:02:05]
Pieces of a man[00:02:12]
I saw the thunder and heard the lightning[00:02:17]
And felt the burden of his shame[00:02:23]
And for some unknown reason[00:02:30]
He never turned my way[00:02:37]
Pieces of that letter[00:02:44]
Were tossed about that room[00:02:50]
And now I hear the sound of sirens[00:02:56]
Come knifing through the gloom[00:03:03]
They don't know what they are doing[00:03:09]
They could hardly understand[00:03:16]
That they're only arresting[00:03:26]
Pieces of a man[00:03:32]
I saw him go to pieces[00:03:39]
I saw him go to pieces[00:03:45]
He was always such a good man[00:03:51]
He was always such a good man[00:03:58]
Yeah I saw him go to pieces[00:04:04]
I saw him go to pieces[00:04:11]
I saw him go to pieces[00:04:17]
