y-o-u (band) - national straitjacket كلمات الأغنية
[verse 1]
in a neighborhood right next to yours
there’s a car in the garage you never could afford
a pretty girl, she’d probably leave you, bored
like the ignorant signs up in every yard
there’s a ball player who’s seldom scored
and he’s leaning back on his lack of glory
like it’s a tissue worn to dry his tears
it’s so sad
[verse 2]
on a hillside rendered unrecognizable
a reporter slowly sat at a table
for a student who is willing and able
while a candidate whose lead is unstable
is debating an artist so undefinable
that she counts on eccentricity
to explain all the things that don’t come out right
it’s so sad. (so sad)
[verse 3]
broken trust is rolling down my streets
smiling and waving to every person it meets
now there’s a farmer empty_handed in defeat
waving back, smiling in that same summer heat
while a disconnected cop with no shoes on his feet
is reaching out for his balding heroes
and the mistakes they never knew they were making
to me it seems so sad. (so sad)
the same mistakes they’re still making, so sad. (so sad)
[bridge]
hometown stuck in the same situation
not enough choices for you
new town offering the same accommodations
too many to choose
right, right
[interlude]
[verse 4]
in a clearing at the top of a mountain
they’re a hundred million strong and counting
getting baptized in the drinking fountain
can’t hear myself thanks to all of the shouting
i never knew it took so much anger touting
to save a couple wayward souls
from the sins of the city and the things that they learned
it’s so sad (so sad)
[verse 5]
in a box where nothing ever grows
a beggar is wearing the clothes
he’s standing right there at the window
of a stockholder who no matter what knows
while marines are out there crawling on sore elbows
protecting us from fire and brimstone and ourselves
like a national straitjacket, it’s so sad
a national straitjacket, so f_cking sad
yeah!
