Washington DC 5/91 가사

Politician and a stewardess Underneath the monuments and the moon He talked of national security She talked of Paris in June (chorus) The lucky ones if they're out tonight Can see cherry blossoms blooming Or ride white carriages beneath city lights But Lincoln's eyes of stone stare cool As if bored of the reflecting pool Or hardened by what's hidden from his sight They're rioting in the capitol tonight... Now the Joneses from Poughkeepsie Rest mall-weary legs in the hotel pool They're soaking up reflections The kids are glad they're out of school The museums were overcrowded White House lines were much too long But the sights, they were quite beautiful It's good to know where the tax money's gone... New Light on your Halo Welcome to the city where we're rich on pride and pity Where a schoolboy, just a fool boy, gets shot down in daylight A state of shock, a face down on the sidewalk Who's seeing God and gets the nod to Heaven like a hawk Who keeps the score when the city goes to war -- By guns, by deaths, by money? A man in a black coat standing in the gun-smoke Sips on white milk and honey... (chorus) This can be the playground of the feeble Where the mindless mix the soil of play with evil A child becomes the means because innocence is believable To all, to all, to all, but their mother's eyes New light on your halo And it ain't shining brightly
