Testo The Big Fool - Marc Ribot
Testo della canzone The Big Fool (Marc Ribot), tratta dall'album Songs Of Resistance 1942 - 2018
I can see a wave approaching
And it threatens all I live for
Ceremony of innocence
Is drowned in Texas oil
And the muddy water's rising
And the temperature is climbing
They ignore the Lord's stern wisdom
While the big fool says push on
And the permafrost is melting
And the glaciers are receding
The extinctions are beginning
And the big fool says push on
And the rich buy private islands
Hoard their food in luxury bunkers
And they'll pay their private armies
To shoot our families when we beg
But the big fool says keep pushing
And the big fool says keep pushing
And the big fool says keep pushing
And the big fool says push on
But the big fool says keep pushing
And the big fool says keep pushing
And the big fool says keep pushing
And the big fool says push on
And the storm surfs through our cities
While they break the Paris Treaty
And they act like this is normal
And they go about their business
And they piss on love and reason
While the scientists are weeping
They deregulate the coal mine
While the big fool says push on, push on, push on
And I'm so tired of screaming now
Can't wake from what I'm dreaming now
To look my baby in the eye
Is more than I can bear
But we have no choice but go on
Though the covenant is broken
Lying shattered and indifferent
While the big fool says push on
The ark was moving on the waters
That had become so exceedingly powerful
Fifteen cubits above
Did the waters prevail
And all flesh below did perish
Beneath the waters of oblivion
Among the fowl, among the cattle
And all the creeping things that creep
And even the mountains were covered
Breath of the spirit was extinguished
God blotted out what He created
The covenant of redemption broken
No human hand will be extended
To receive the dole-free present
Only the screeching of the raven
And the big fool says push on
And the big fool says push on, push on, push on, push on
