Pick It Up (And Put It In Your Pocket) - Stan Ridgway.mp3

[00:00.000] 作曲 : Stan Ridgway
[00:23.046] A signal swings and the lights turn off
[00:26.249] And a missing man begins to cough
[00:29.316] And no one knows the lost ones from the found
[00:34.248] And lady luck, well, she can't explain
[00:36.837] To a hardened coin or a bill, the game
[00:39.647] It seems everything changes hands when it hits the ground
[00:53.494] They said it's dog eat dog, cat eat mouse
[00:56.736] And mouse eat cheese and the cheese just smells
[01:00.333] The warning systems ring but help won't come.
[01:05.189] And all the calling cards and the walking sticks
[01:08.319] And the hidden punches and the coward's kicks
[01:11.361] Say we got a big mouthful now
[01:13.806] Pick it up and put it in your pocket
[01:16.155] Or somebody else will
[01:19.223] Pick it up and put it in your pocket
[01:21.662] Or somebody else just will
[01:25.131] Pick it up and put it in your pocket
[01:27.564] Or somebody else will
[01:30.889] Now the world's a road and for miles around
[01:35.704] On every inch of unclaimed ground, hide rewards for some but all the rest
[01:41.366] Spin a creepy wheel or they trip the stair
[01:44.466] While the new school boys just can't play fair
[01:47.169] In a place that leaves its money in its mess
[01:50.167] Pick it up and put it in your pocket
[01:52.981] Or somebody else will
[01:56.055] Pick it up and put it in your pocket
[01:58.261] Or somebody else just will
[02:01.193] Pick it up and put it in your pocket
[02:03.819] Or somebody else will
[02:06.930] Pick it up and put it in your pocket
[02:09.310] Or somebody else just will
[02:18.028] Now an old man with a paper bag
[02:20.863] And a list so long on a dirty rag
[02:24.227] Checks each item that he will throw or keep
[02:29.203] But he'll never thank the coin that's bent
[02:32.037] Or a greenback bill that a stranger sent
[02:34.818] But he'll pick 'em just the same
[02:37.365] And then he'll thank the street
[02:44.763] He turns and says it's dog eat dog
[02:49.151] And cat eat mouse
[02:51.956] And mouse eat cheese
[02:54.622] And the cheese just smells
[03:08.785] Now I don't wanna seem to say
[03:11.239] That the time ahead won't be okay
[03:14.761] But the scale is loaded down
[03:16.914] With the weight of sixteen tons
[03:19.712] And the ones that have
[03:21.130] Tell the ones that don't
[03:22.443] To tell the ones that can't
[03:23.722] About the ones who won't
[03:25.543] And there's no place left here
[03:27.001] 'Round to run
[03:28.400] Pick it up and put it in your pocket
[03:30.797] Or somebody else will
[03:34.024] Pick it up and put it in your pocket
[03:36.430] Or somebody else just will
[03:39.649] Pick it up and put it in your pocket
[03:42.176] Or somebody else will
[03:45.296] Pick it up and put it in your pocket
[03:47.785] Or somebody else just will
[03:50.891] Pick it up and put it in your pocket
[03:53.362] Or somebody else will
[03:56.455] Pick it up and put it in your pocket
[03:59.282] Or somebody else will
[04:02.077] Pick it up and put it in your pocket
[04:04.640] Or somebody else will
[04:07.768] Pick it up and put it in your pocket
[04:10.549] Or somebody else will
[04:13.417] Pick it up and put it in your pocket
[04:16.211] Or somebody else will
[04:18.964] Pick it up and put it in your pocket
[04:21.618] Or somebody else just will
