《Ringing Of Revolution(Live)》歌词

歌手： Phil Ochs

时长： 07:19

锘縄n a building of gold, with riches untold,[00:07:19]

lived the families on which the country was founded.[00:07:19]

And the merchants of style, with their red velvet smiles,[00:07:19]

were there, for they also were hounded.[00:07:19]

And the soft middle class crowded in to the last,[00:07:19]

for the building was fully surrounded.[00:07:19]

And the noise outside was the ringing of revolution.[00:07:19]

Sadly they stared and sank in their chairs[00:07:19]

and searched for a comforting notion.[00:07:19]

And the rich silver walls looked ready to fall[00:07:19]

As they shook in doubtful devotion.[00:07:19]

The ice cubes would clink as they freshened their drinks,[00:07:19]

wet their minds in bitter emotion.[00:07:19]

And they talked about the ringing of revolution.[00:07:19]

We were hardly aware of the hardships they beared,[00:07:19]

for our time was taken with treasure.[00:07:19]

Oh, life was a game, and work was a shame,[00:07:19]

And pain was prevented by pleasure.[00:07:19]

The world, cold and grey, was so far away[00:07:19]

In the distance only money could measure.[00:07:19]

But their thoughts were broken by the ringing of revolution.[00:07:19]

The clouds filled the room in darkening doom[00:07:19]

as the crooked smoke rings were rising.[00:07:19]

How long will it take, how can we escape[00:07:19]

Someone asks, but no one's advising.[00:07:19]

And the quivering floor responds to the roar,[00:07:19]

In a shake no longer surprising.[00:07:19]

As closer and closer comes the ringing of revolution.[00:07:19]

Softly they moan, please leave us alone[00:07:19]

As back and forth they are pacing.[00:07:19]

And they cover their ears and try not to hear[00:07:19]
