Books Are Burning (2001 Digital Remaster)歌词

[00:00.000] 作曲 : Andrew Partridge
[00:00.744]Books are burning
[00:03.618]In the main square, and I saw there
[00:10.854]The fire eating the text
[00:15.112]Books are burning
[00:19.553]In the still air
[00:22.504]And you know where they burn books
[00:29.061]People are next
[00:33.659]I believe the printed word should be forgiven
[00:40.633]Doesn't matter what it said
[00:48.287]Wisdom hotline from the dead back to the living
[00:55.366]Key to the larder for your heart and head
[01:06.834]Books are burning
[01:10.361]In our own town,
[01:14.227]watch us turn 'round
[01:17.675]And cast our glances elsewhere
[01:21.489]Books are burning
[01:25.042]In the playground
[01:28.855]Smell of burnt book is not unlike human hair
[01:40.114]I believe the printed word is more than sacred
[01:47.428]Beyond the gauge of good or bad
[01:54.612]The human right to let your soul fly free and naked
[02:01.926]Above the violence of the fearful and sad
[02:15.510]The church of matches
[02:22.433]Anoints in ignorance with gasoline
[02:29.877]The church of matches
[02:37.505]Grows fat by breathing in the smoke of dreams
[02:45.917]It's quite obscene
[02:48.660]Books are burning
[02:52.003]More each day now,
[02:55.765]and I pray now
[02:58.952]You boys will tire of these games
[03:03.131]Books are burning
[03:06.841]I hope somehow,
[03:12.013]this will allow
[03:13.946]A phoenix up from the flames
