Radio Baghdad - Patti Smith (帕蒂·史密斯)[00:00:00]

(Smith/Ray)[00:00:08]

Suffer not Your neighbor's affliction[00:00:32]

Suffer not Your neighbor's paralysis[00:00:37]

But extend your hand Extend your hand[00:00:43]

Lest you vanish in the city And be but a trace[00:00:52]

Just a vanished ghost And your legacy[00:00:59]

All the things you knew Science mathematics thought[00:01:05]

Severely weakened Like irrigation systems[00:01:15]

In the tired veins forming From the Tigris and Euphrates[00:01:22]

In the realm of peace All the world revolved[00:01:29]

All the world revolved Around a perfect circle[00:01:34]

City of Baghdad City of scholars[00:01:38]

Empirical humble Center of the world[00:01:43]

City in ashes City of Baghdad[00:01:48]

City of Baghdad Abrasive aloof[00:01:53]

Oh in Mesopotamia Aloofness ran deep[00:02:27]

Deep in the veins of the great rivers[00:02:38]

That form the base Of Eden[00:02:45]

And the tree The tree of knowledge[00:02:50]

Held up its arms To the sky[00:02:55]

All the branches of knowledge All the branches of knowledge[00:02:59]

Cradling Cradling[00:03:05]

Civilization In the realm of peace[00:03:13]

All the world revolved Around a perfect circle[00:03:20]

Oh Baghdad Center of the world[00:03:26]

City of ashes With its great mosques[00:03:30]

Erupting from the mouth of god Rising from the ashes like[00:03:35]

A speckled bird Splayed against the mosaic sky[00:03:40]

Oh clouds around We created the zero[00:03:49]

But we mean nothing to you You would believe[00:04:02]

That we are just some mystical tale We are just a swollen belly[00:04:12]

That gave birth to Sinbad Scheherazade We gave birth[00:04:23]

Oh oh to the zero The perfect number[00:04:32]

We invented the zero And we mean nothing to you[00:04:42]

Our children run through the streets[00:04:47]

And you sent your flames Your shooting stars[00:04:54]

Shock and awe Shock and awe[00:04:58]

Like some some Imagined warrior production[00:05:03]

Twenty-first century No chivalry involved[00:05:17]

No Bushido[00:05:25]

Oh the code of the West Long gone[00:05:47]

Never been Where does it lie [00:05:52]

You came you came Through the west[00:06:01]

Annihilated a people And you come to us[00:06:04]

But we are older than you You come you wanna[00:06:12]

You wanna come and rob the cradle[00:06:20]

Of civilization And you read yet you read[00:06:25]

You read Genesis You read of the tree[00:06:32]

You read of the tree Beget by god[00:06:35]

That raised its branches into the sky Every branch of knowledge[00:06:40]

Of the cradle of civilization[00:06:46]

Of the banks of the Tigris and the Euphrates[00:06:49]

Oh in Mesopotamia Aloofness ran deep[00:06:53]

The face of Eve turning What sky did she see[00:06:59]

What garden beneath her feet The one you drill[00:07:14]

You drill Pulling the blood of the earth[00:07:23]

Little droplets of oil for bracelets Little jewels[00:07:28]

Sapphires You make bracelets[00:07:35]

Round your own world We are weeping tears[00:07:40]

Rubies We offer them to you[00:07:46]

We are just Your Arabian nightmare[00:07:50]

We invented the zero But we mean nothing to you[00:07:56]

Your Arabian nightmare[00:08:04]

City of stars City of scholarship[00:08:36]

Science City of ideas[00:08:42]

City of light City[00:08:49]

City of ashes That the great Caliph[00:08:53]

Walked through His naked feet formed a circle[00:09:00]

And they built a city A perfect city of Baghdad[00:09:06]

In the realm of peace And all the world revolved[00:09:13]

And they invented And they mean nothing to you[00:09:19]

Nothing to you Nothing[00:09:29]

Go to sleep Go to sleep my child[00:09:45]

Go to sleep And I'll sing you a lullaby[00:09:49]

A lullaby for our city A lullaby of Baghdad[00:09:52]

Go to sleep Sleep my child[00:09:57]

Sleep Sleep [00:10:00]

Run Run [00:10:03]

You sent your lights Your bombs[00:10:24]

You sent them down on our city Shock and awe[00:10:28]

Like some crazy t v show[00:10:31]

They're robbing the cradle of civilization[00:11:04]

They're robbing the cradle of civilization[00:11:11]

They're robbing the cradle of civilization[00:11:19]

Suffer not The paralysis of your neighbor[00:11:51]

Suffer not But extend your hand[00:12:00]
