A Forked Tongue Cuts Like A Knife-Eyes Like Mirrors.mp3
[00:00.000] 作词 : Paddy Chayefsky [06:26.52]I don...
[00:00.000] 作词 : Paddy Chayefsky
[06:26.52]I don't have to tell you things are bad.
[06:28.37]Everybody knows things are bad.
[06:29.96]The dollar buys a nickel's worth.
[06:31.92]Banks are going bust.
[06:33.13]Shopkeepers keep a gun under the counter.
[06:35.21]There's nobody anywhere who seems to know what to do,
[06:36.85]and there's no end to it.
[06:38.18]We know the air is unfit to breathe and our food is unfit to eat,
[06:42.95]and we sit watching our TVs while some local newscaster tells us that
[06:46.35]today we had fifteen homicides and sixty-three violent crimes,
[06:49.94]as if that's the way it's supposed to be.
[06:51.72]
[06:51.92]We know things are bad — worse than bad.
[06:54.53]They're crazy.
[06:55.43]It's like everything everywhere is going crazy,
[06:57.23]so we don't go out anymore.
[06:58.87]We sit in the house,
[06:59.87]and slowly the world we are living in is getting smaller,
[07:02.24]and all we say is:
[07:02.94]'Please, at least leave us alone in our living rooms.
[07:05.91]Let me have my toaster, my TV,
[07:07.60]my steel-belted radials and I won't say anything.
[07:10.36]Just leave us alone.'
[07:11.37]Well, I'm not gonna leave you alone.
[07:13.56]I want you to get MAD!
[07:16.02]I don't want you to protest.
[07:16.92]I don't want you to riot —
[07:17.88]I don't want you to write to your congressman,
[07:19.48]because I wouldn't know what to tell you to write.
[07:21.28]I don't know what to do about the depression and the inflation
[07:23.58]and the Russians and the crime in the street.
[07:25.19]All I know is that first you've got to get mad.
[07:28.30]You've got to say:
[07:28.90]'I'm a human being, god-dammit! My life has value!'
[07:32.93]
[09:16.93]So, I want all of you to get up out of your chairs.
[09:20.55]I want you to get up right now and go to the window.
[09:24.08]Open it, and stick your head out, and yell:
[09:27.48]I'M AS MAD AS HELL, AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE!
[09:31.48]
