《Banquet》歌词:
[00:09.73]Come to the dinner gong
[00:11.32]
[00:12.60]The table is laden high
[00:14.78]
[00:15.71]Fat bellies and hungry little ones
[00:18.55]
[00:19.55]Tuck your napkins in
[00:21.89]And take your share
[00:23.69]
[00:24.51]Some get the gravy
[00:25.51]
[00:27.27]And some get the gristle
[00:28.57]
[00:30.36]Some get the marrow bone
[00:32.18]
[00:33.52]And some get nothing
[00:34.90]
[00:36.13]Though there's plenty to spare
[00:37.94]
[00:42.04]I took my share down by the sea
[00:44.62]
[00:45.99]Paper plates and javex bottles on the tide
[00:48.69]
[00:49.95]Seagulls come down
[00:50.78]And they squawk at me
[00:52.67]
[00:54.12]Down where the water skiers glide
[00:59.19]
[01:10.27]Some turn to jesus
[01:11.60]
[01:13.19]And some turn to h****n
[01:14.72]
[01:16.19]Some turn to rambling round
[01:18.13]
[01:19.86]Looking for a clean sky
[01:21.57]
[01:22.30]And a drinking stream
[01:23.82]
[01:24.78]Some watch the paint peel off
[01:26.88]
[01:27.49]Some watch their kids grow up
[01:29.51]
[01:30.53]Some watch their stocks and bonds
[01:32.59]
[01:33.94]Waiting for that big deal
[01:36.62]American dream
[01:37.95]
[01:42.05]I took my dream down by the sea
[01:44.71]
[01:46.04]Yankee yachts and lobster pots and sunshine
[01:48.82]
[01:49.73]And logs and sails
[01:51.35]
[01:51.86]And shell oil pails
[01:53.15]
[01:53.66]Dogs and tugs and summertime
[01:55.85]
[01:56.95]Back in the banquet line
[01:59.09]
[01:59.70]Angry young people crying
[02:02.06]
[02:06.67]Who let the greedy in
[02:08.35]
[02:09.42]And who left the needy out
[02:11.48]
[02:12.52]Who made this salty soup
[02:14.76]
[02:16.23]Tell him we're very hungry now
[02:18.28]For a sweeter fare
[02:20.16]
[02:22.49]In the cookie I read
[02:23.67]
[02:24.51]Some get the gravy
[02:26.12]
[02:27.65]And some get the gristle
[02:29.16]
[02:30.87]Some get the marrow bone
[02:32.48]
[02:33.89]And some get nothing
[02:36.23]Though there's plenty to spare
[by:折杏在手心]
[00:09.73]锣声响起,晚餐时分
[00:12.60]饕餮盛宴,任君品尝
[00:15.71]无论高矮胖瘦,无论饥饿与否
[00:19.55]都请收好餐巾
[00:21.89]开始享用美味
[00:24.51]一些人取走了肉汁
[00:27.27]一些人取走了脆骨
[00:30.36]一些人取走了髓骨
[00:33.52]还有些人一无所得
[00:36.13]桌上却仍剩了不少佳肴
[00:42.04]我取完食物后在靠近海边的一侧坐下
[00:45.99]潮起潮落间,远处漂来的废纸餐盘与漂白剂瓶络绎不绝
[00:49.95]一队海鸥从天空飞下
[00:50.78]它们冲我叫喊
[00:54.12]随即掠过滑水者滑行的海面
[01:10.27]世态万千,一些人选择受洗归主
[01:13.19]一些人自甘沉溺药物
[01:16.19]还有些人四处周游
[01:19.86]为的是寻找那片纯净的天
[01:22.30]和那条纯净的河溪
[01:24.78]岁月蹉跎,有的人徒见墙漆脱落
[01:27.49]有的人将孩子抚养长大
[01:30.53]还有的人日夜关注着他们股票和债券
[01:33.94]等待横财的到来
[01:36.62]人人各自怀揣着,所谓的美国梦
[01:42.05]我携着这份沉思来到海边
[01:46.04]波光粼粼的海面上,映入眼帘的有美国佬们的游艇和密密麻麻的捕虾笼
[01:49.73]有木舟和帆船
[01:51.86]有漂浮着的油桶
[01:53.66]还有拖船和船员们饲养的爱犬,以及惬意的夏日时光
[01:56.95]回到热闹的宴席
[01:59.70]只听见一些年轻人在愤怒地抗议:
[02:06.67]“是谁只对贪婪的家伙敞开大门?”
[02:09.42]“又是谁在一直忽视真正挨饿的人?”
[02:12.52]“是谁做的这碗咸汤?”
[02:16.23]“告诉他我们已经饥肠辘辘了
[02:18.28]最好再来一份甜食”
[02:22.49]我打开幸运饼里的字条,上面的签语竟是这么写的:
[02:24.51]“一些人取走了肉汁
[02:27.65]一些人取走了脆骨
[02:30.87]一些人取走了髓骨
[02:33.89]还有些人一无所得
[02:36.23]桌上却仍剩了不少佳肴。”
