Automation Song (LP版) - Phil Ochs (菲尔·奥克斯)[00:00:00]
Oh I laid down your railroads [00:00:19]
Every mile of track [00:00:21]
With the muscles on my arm[00:00:23]
And the sweat upon my back [00:00:25]
And now the trains are rolling [00:00:28]
They roll to every shore[00:00:30]
You tell me that my job is through [00:00:32]
There ain't no work no more [00:00:34]
Though I laid down your highways all across the land [00:00:37]
With the ringing of the steel[00:00:42]
And the power of my hands [00:00:44]
And now the roads are there like ribbons in the sky [00:00:48]
You tell me that my job is through[00:00:51]
But still I wonder why [00:00:53]
For the wages were low[00:00:56]
And the hours were long[00:00:58]
And the labor was all I could bear [00:00:59]
Now you've got new machines for to take my place[00:01:03]
And you tell me it's not mine to share [00:01:07]
Though I laid down your factories[00:01:11]
And laid down your fields [00:01:13]
With my feet on the ground[00:01:15]
And my back to your wheels [00:01:17]
And now the smoke is rising [00:01:20]
The steel is all a-glow [00:01:23]
I'm walking down a jobless road[00:01:24]
And where am I to go [00:01:26]
For the wages were low[00:01:29]
And the hours were long[00:01:31]
And the labor was all I could bear [00:01:33]
Now you've got new machines for to take my place[00:01:36]
And you tell me it's not mine to share [00:01:40]
Though I laid down your factories[00:01:44]
And laid down your fields [00:01:46]
With my feet on the ground[00:01:49]
And my back to your wheels [00:01:51]
And now the smoke is rising [00:01:54]
The steel is all a-glow [00:01:56]
I'm walking down a jobless road[00:01:58]
And where am I to go [00:02:00]
Tell me where am I to go[00:02:02]
