Simple Words歌词

作曲 : John Dempsey/Dana P. Rowe
Cal:What's in your eyes?
"There's something scandalous here!"
What will you say?
"We heard the councilman curse!"
I'm sure you've heard it before
And will a million times more
And used it yourself
Along with some that are worse
I meant, "****"
So I said, "****"
Grahame:Oh sweet Jesus
Cal:That's what I do
I shoot straight from the hip
I rock the boats
And tip over the scales
Oh so don't act impressed
Give the manners a rest
Ask what you want
And I'll tell you no tales
Double talk
Political rhetoric -
It's for the birds
Well me, I'm just a simple man
With simple words -
Sing hallelujah!
Give me simple words
Sing out the praises
Of the simple man
I say what I mean
And I mean what I say
And I say, I say, I say, I say, I say
I say simple words!
Reporters:Good gravy
What have we here?
There's a madman
In the council!
Good gravy
What have we here?
Madman, madman!
Grahame:You hear that, Violet?
Your son, the madman!
Ruined the family name, that's all.
The cameras are rolling.
We're like lambs to the slaughter now!
Cal:We play a game
Where behaviour's what counts
And maybe I'm
Just too blunt to survive
Oh but can you expect
That the souls you elect
Should be held to a light
That would burn you alive?
God, I would love
To be able to speak
Like a true politician
My words would sway
But my friends, with me
You only get what you see
And that's all
That's all there is to say -
Reporters:Sing hallelujah!
Give me simple words
Sing out the praises!
Of the simple man
Cal:I know what I like
And I like what I know
Cal & Reporters:And I know, we know, we know, we know, we know
We know
We know simple words!
Reporters:Good gravy
What have we here?
There's a genius
In the council!
Good Gravy
What have we here?
Genius, genius!
Cal:Oh -
When I say, "Yes!"
Reporters:Then you mean, "Yes!"
Cal:And what I say, "No!"
Reporters:Then that's the show, brother!
Cal & Reporters:Sing out the verse
There's no reason to rehearse
When you're singing
Those simple words.
Sing hallelujah!
Give me simple words
Sing out the praises!
Of the simple man
We say as we do
And we do as we say
And we say, we say, we say, we say, we say
We say simple words...
Sing out those simple words
Sing hallelujah!
Sing out those simple words
Sing hallelujah!
Sing out those simple words
Sing hallelujah!
Sing out those simple words
Sing hallelujah!
Sing out those simple words
Sing hallelujah!
Sing out those simple words
Sing hallelujah!
Sing, sing, sing, simple...
Sing, sing, sing, simple...
Sing, sing, sing, simple words!
Cal:We say as we do
And we do as we say
And we say, we say, we say, we say, we say
We say, we say
And we say, we say, we say, we say, we say
We say, we say
We say simple words!编辑于2023/09/01更新
