Bread And Circuses (Remastered Album Version) - Billy Bragg/Natalie Merchant (娜坦莉·莫森特)[00:00:00]

Crowds gather 'round kneeling[00:00:05]

At the feet of common thieves[00:00:08]

Hungry for the word but God[00:00:14]

Would never speak through such as these[00:00:17]

Such as these[00:00:21]

Who offer healing hands and balms[00:00:23]

And redemption a few would cross their palms[00:00:28]

They'll tell your troubles to the Lord[00:00:33]

For how ever much you can afford[00:00:38]

Hands holding hands[00:00:47]

In the circle of the sinners and the saints[00:00:49]

Memories that linger from the cradle[00:00:57]

Placing puzzles in the grave[00:00:59]

In the grave[00:01:03]

No mortal skin and bone[00:01:06]

Can live on bread and circuses alone[00:01:11]

The spirit needs must drive[00:01:15]

The mystery of why you're alive[00:01:20]

They look in their Book and they read[00:01:30]

But their cold hearts say "Follow me"[00:01:34]

Dance in the dust[00:01:44]

In the frenzy of the desperately in need[00:01:46]

Led by the voices of the men who invoke[00:01:53]

Ritual to hide their greed[00:01:57]

Hide their greed[00:02:00]

Come every tongue every eye across[00:02:03]

The crumbling earth and cracking skies[00:02:08]

The gates of hell stand open wide[00:02:12]

But the path of glory you walk single file[00:02:18]

They look in their book and they read[00:02:27]

But their cold hearts say "Follow me"[00:02:31]

These men make a cage for the very souls[00:02:41]

That came here to be freed[00:02:44]

They turn off their lights for their tents[00:02:51]

They're fixing to leave[00:02:54]

"Follow me"[00:03:14]

They look in their Book and they read[00:03:24]

But their cold hearts say "Follow me"[00:03:28]

They look in their Book and they read[00:03:42]

But their cold hearts say "Follow me"[00:03:47]

They'll close up their Books and leave[00:04:01]

You remain still in pain[00:04:10]
