(Antichrist Television Blues)

Arcade Fire
앨범 : Neon Bible

I dont wanna work in a building downtown
No I dont wanna work in a building downtown
I dont know what Im gonna do
Cause the planes keep crashing always two by two
I dont wanna work in a building downtown
No I dont wanna see when the planes hit the ground
I dont wanna work in a building downtown
I dont wanna work in a building downtown
Parking their cars in the underground
Their voices when they scream, well they make no sound
I wanna see the cities rust
And the troublemakers riding on the back of the bus
Dear God, Im a good Christian man
In your glory, I know you understand
That you gotta work hard and you gotta get paid
My girls 13 but she dont act her age
She can sing like a bird in a cage
O Lord, if you could see her when shes up on that stage!
You know that Im a God-fearing man
You know that Im a God-fearing man
But I just gotta know if its part of your plan
To seat my daughters there by your right hand
I know that youll do whats right, Lord
For they are the lanterns and you are the light
Now Im overcome
By the light of day
My lips are near but my heart is far away
Tell me what to say
Ill be your mouthpiece!
Into the light of a bridge that burns
As I drive from the city with the money that I earned
Into the black of a starless sky
Im staring into nothing
and Im asking you why
Lord, will you make her a star
So the world can see who you really are?
Little girl, youre old enough to understand
That youll always be a stranger in a strange, strange land
The men are gonna come when youre fast asleep
So you better just stay close and hold onto me
If my little mocking bird dont sing
Then daddy wont buy her no diamond ring
Dear God, would you send me a child?
Oh! God, would you send me a child
Cause I wanna put it up on the TV screen
So the world can see what your true word means
Lord, would you send me a sign
Cause I just gotta know if Im wasting my time!
Now Im overcome
By the light of day
My lips are near but my heart is far away
Now the war is won
How come nothing tastes good?
Youre such a sensitive child!
Oh! Youre such a sensitive child!
I know youre tired but its alright
I just need you to sing for me tonight
Youre gonna have your day in the sun
You know God loves the sensitive ones
Oh! My little bird in a cage!
Oh! My little bird in a cage!
I need you to get up for me, up on that stage
And show the men that youre old for your age
Now aint the time for fear
But if you dont take it, itll disappear!
Oh! My little mocking bird sing!
Oh! My little mocking bird sing!
I need you to get up on that stage for me, honey
And show the men its not about the money
Wanna hold a mirror up to the world
So that they can see themselves inside my little girl!
Do you know where I was at your age?
Any idea where I was at your age?
I was working downtown for the minimum wage
And Im not gonna let you just throw it all away!
Im through being cute, Im through being nice
O tell me, Lord, am I the Antichrist?!
