Orphans Of Wealth - Don McLean (唐·麦克林)[00:00:00]

There is no time to discuss or debate[00:00:06]

What is right what is wrong for our people [00:00:11]

Time has run out for all those who wait[00:00:18]

With bent limbs and minds that are feeble [00:00:24]

And the rain falls and blows through their window[00:00:29]

And the snow falls and blows through their door [00:00:35]

And the seasons revolve mid their sounds of starvation [00:00:42]

When the tides rise they cover the floor [00:00:48]

They come from the north and they come from the south[00:00:55]

And they come from the hills and the valleys [00:01:01]

And they＇re migrants and farmers and miners and humans [00:01:07]

Our census neglected to tally [00:01:13]

And the rain falls and blows through their window[00:01:19]

And the rain falls and it blows through their door [00:01:25]

And the seasons revolve mid their sounds of starvation [00:01:31]

When the tides rise they cover the floor [00:01:37]

And they′re African Mexican Caucasian Indian [00:01:45]

Hungry and hopeless Americans [00:01:51]

The orphans of wealth and of adequate health [00:01:57]

Disowned by this nation they live in [00:02:03]

And with weather worn hands on bread lines they stand [00:02:08]

Yet but one more degradation [00:02:15]

And they＇re treated like tramps while we sell them food stamps[00:02:20]

This thriving and prosperous nation [00:02:27]

And the rain falls and blows through their window[00:02:33]

And the snow falls and blows through their door [00:02:39]

And the seasons revolve mid their sounds of starvation [00:02:45]

When the tides rise they cover the floor [00:02:51]

And with roaches and rickets and rats in the thickets [00:02:59]

Infested diseased and decaying [00:03:05]

With rags and no shoes and skin sores that ooze [00:03:11]

By the poisonous pools they are playing [00:03:17]

In shacks of two rooms that are rotting wood tombs[00:03:23]

With corpses breathing inside them [00:03:29]

And we pity their plight as they call in the night[00:03:34]

And we do all that we can do to hide them [00:03:40]

And the rain falls and blows through their window[00:03:50]

And the snow falls in white drifts that fold[00:03:54]

And the tides rise with floods in the nursery [00:04:01]

And a child is crying he＇s hungry and cold [00:04:07]

His life has been sold his young face looks old [00:04:13]

It＇s the face of America dying[00:04:18]
