Testo Bookends - U.S. Girls
Testo della canzone Bookends (U.S. Girls), tratta dall'album Scratch It
Riley was always goin' on about the Cross and breakin' it
Takin' acre and the pain reliever within
But when the livin' do not bury the dead
And women ape men eight, nine, ten
False mutes given tongues
Cut their bed to shred, now strike
And fall in back with your vanguard
Let us not rehearse
Let the brother change his sister into
A pit they dig so deep
That they come out the roof, owin' to
The impatience of the multitude
Hard in the marketplace
Always with the advertisin'
Bear excuses, nolen volens
This they do, they save themselves
This they do, they save themselves
This they do
But who's them anyway?
Who's them anyway?
Who's them anyway?
That rumor spread
When the people heard, they thought they'd done it themselves
That's no remedy, no
We still don't see what we don't wanna see, yeah
You think I'm gonna throw my soul away
When I've seen women buried in three different ways
I've seen women buried in three different ways
In three different ways
In three different ways
You take me today
I take you tomorrow
It'll be the busiest day of my life
I can't forget my ensign
Gotta pay attention to the orders
And gather all my men up
I gotta gather 'em up
But what's the use
My backbone shot through?
Baby, don't make me yawn
You had your last shit on when they found you
Figure to yourself, my friend
Thirst is comin'
Yeah, it's comin', it's comin'
Thirst is comin'
Now I'm suin' you for mercy, mercy
Now I'm suin' you for mercy, mercy
Now I'm suin' you for mercy, mercy
Now I'm suin' you for mercy, mercy
Now I'm suin' you for mercy, mercy
Now I'm suin' you for mercy, mercy
Now I'm suin' you for mercy, mercy
Now I'm suin' you for mercy, mercy
Riley was always goin' off about the Cross and breakin' it
The condition of life, the source of the blue Nile
Grace cup to your lips
70 thousand men, why am I wonderin' where Riley went?
Gotta speak at the end of my breath 'cause I'm still wonderin' where Riley went
Like it or not
Yeah, that's what you got
Like it or not
Yeah, that's what you got
Because Riley was always goin' off about the Cross and breakin' it
The condition of life, the source of the blue Nile
Grace cup to your lips
70 thousand men, why am I wonderin' where Riley went?
Gotta speak at the end of my breath 'cause I'm still wonderin' where Riley went
Well, like it or not
Yeah, that's what you got
Like it or not, yeah
Yeah, that's what you got
Because Riley was always
He was always goin' off
He wanted to break that Cross
Yeah, he just wanted
He wanted to break the Cross
He just wanted
He wanted so bad to go off about
He just needed
He needed to break the Cross
He's goin' to, he wanted so bad
He wanted to break the Cross
Just goin' to break the Cross, he wanted to, yeah
He wanted to break it, he wanted to break it
