Testo Why Can't We All Be Nice - Joel Grey & Susan Browning
Testo della canzone Why Can't We All Be Nice (Joel Grey & Susan Browning), tratta dall'album Goodtime Charley (Original Broadway Cast Recording)
oh the blood that we keep spilling
senseless killing after killing
is the loss of all refinement really worth the price?
as i used to say to mother, when we spoke to one another
mother, why can't we all be nice?
must we all behave like vandals, burning people like they're candles
human decency instead of human sacrafice
as i once remarked to father, whom i dissapointed rather
father, why can't we all be nice?
why do people have to show off?
chopping heads and lopping someone's ear or toe off
chop and lop, and lop and chop, and chop and lop, and lop and chop, and chop and lop, and lop and chop, and chop and lop!
la famie that slays together is the one that stays together
it's a way of life that simply has to stop
stop!
we're so wantan it's outrageous
no wonder we're contagious
i'd even be afraid to drink from my own glass
still we slaves of our desire
question god as we expire
sire, why has this come to pass?
why must we die on mass?
all the carnage
all the pilliage
sacking villiage, after villiage, after villiage
rape and sack, and sack and rape, and rape and sack, and sack and rape, and rape and sack, and sack and rape, and rape and sack!
really!
where's the satisfaction without mutual attraction?
it's no fun unles they wanna rape you back
they should lock us up in cages
till we're past the middle ages
at least until we're safely over middle age
i keep saying to my pages
history gives us nice clean pages
pages, why must we soil each page?
we're so heartless
so unfeeling
what a hun would find obscene, we find appealing
scheme and plot, and lust and letch, and bribe and steal, and lie and cheat, and war and maim, and kill and hate, and kiss and tell!
every day a little more
another sodom and gamorah
keep it up and we won't need to go to hell
when the bites of newborn babies make us fear that we'll get rabies
what we've made is something less than earthly paradise
all this turmoil and upheavel
do we have to be so medieval?
why can't we all think twice?
virtue instead of vice
why can't we all be
nice!
