作词 : Galas | |
You, who speak of crowd control, | |
of karma or the punishment of God: | |
Do you fear the cages they are building | |
in Kentucky, Tennessee and Texas | |
while they're giving ten to forty years to find a cure? | |
Do you pray each evening out of horror | |
or of fear to the savage God | |
whose bloody hand | |
commands you now to die, alone? | |
Let's not chat about Despair. | |
Let's not chat about Despair. | |
Do you taste the presence of the living dead | |
while the skeleton beneath your open window | |
waits with arms outstretched? | |
Do you spend each night in waiting | |
for the Devil's little angels' cries | |
to burn you in your sleep? | |
Do you wait for miracles in small hotels | |
with seconal and compazine | |
or for a ticket to the house of death in Amsterdam? | |
Let's not chat about Despair. | |
Let's not chat about Despair. | |
Do you wait in prison for the dreadful day | |
the office of the butcher comes to carry you away? | |
Do you wait for saviors or the paradise to come in laundry rooms, in toilets, or in cadillacs? | |
Are you crucified beneath the life machines | |
with a shank inside your neck | |
and a head which blossoms like a basketball? | |
Let's not chat about Despair. | |
Let's not chat about Despair. | |
Do you tremble at the timid steps | |
of crying, smiling faces who, in mourning, | |
now have come to pay their last respects? | |
In Kentucky Harry buys a round of beer | |
to celebrate the death of Billy Smith, the queer, | |
whose mother still must hide her face in fear. | |
You who mix the words of torture, suicide and death | |
with scotch and soda at the bar, | |
we're all real decent people, aren't we, | |
but there's no time left for talk: | |
Let's not chat about Despair. | |
Let's not chat about Despair. | |
Let's not chat about Despair. Please | |
Don't chat about Despair. |
