Cause and Effect - Matthew Lien.mp3

[00:00.00] 作曲 : 马修.连恩
[00:16.11]And the man declared
[00:29.02]All the dirt, the dust and hair
[00:32.16]Will vanish right into the air
[00:36.27]For a little while
[00:39.41]You can purchase with a smile
[00:42.87]And a credit card, without a care
[00:47.88]It never seemed that notable
[00:51.51]Those cartridges, disposable
[00:54.99]Just go away come garbage day
[00:59.96]The tragedy in utero
[01:02.95]Reveals a bleeding embryo
[01:06.56]An ecosystem in decay
[01:14.14]（Chorus）
[01:15.18]This is spiritual neglect
[01:18.01]This is cause and effect
[01:21.42]And so
[01:25.29]With every move that you select
[01:28.51]You are the cause and the effect
[01:32.03]And so it goes
[01:38.10]It's a polished act
[01:40.94]As you present the basic facts
[01:44.94]And the sale was unilateral
[01:49.29]And the papers said
[01:52.40]"More than fifty thousand dead"
[01:56.52]And the damage was collateral
[02:01.17]The sounds of bombs and fire alarms
[02:04.70]A mother with her babe in arms
[02:08.24]Hurries toward the cellar door
[02:13.00]Fire burned within her heart
[02:16.01]The strike was swift, the bomb was smart
[02:19.61]A flash of light and nothing more
[02:27.46]（Chorus）
[02:27.87]This is spiritual neglect
[02:30.97]This is cause and effect
[02:34.65]And so
[02:38.49]With every move that you select
[02:41.63]You are the cause and the effect
[02:45.07]And so it goes
[03:18.98]Oh...
[03:20.28]Every deal and every pact
[03:22.98]Every time you fail to act
[03:26.60]Every wrapper, plastic tray
[03:30.10]Everything you throw away
[03:33.63]And every time you cast your vote
[03:36.94]Wars, domestic and remote
[03:40.66]Everything you've ever heard
[03:44.56]Every move and every word...
[03:49.41]And the lion said
[03:52.30]"Praise to God, the lamb is dead
[03:56.27]Hail the mighty interest rate"
[04:00.67]And the path was found
[04:03.49]To attain the higher ground
[04:07.71]Where the corporate raiders congregate
[04:12.32]But in a far and distant land
[04:15.88]Dying in the desert sand
[04:19.47]The victim of hypocrisy
[04:24.09]How could no one recognize
[04:27.26]Reflected in that child's eyes
[04:30.84]Was fear and pain and you and me
[04:36.50]（Chorus）
[04:38.94]This is spiritual neglect
[04:42.68]This is cause and effect
[04:46.23]And so
[04:50.17]With every move that you select
[04:53.42]You are the cause and the effect
[04:56.81]And so...
[05:00.50]This is all that you direct
[05:03.96]You are the cause and the effect
[05:07.49]And so
[05:11.14]With every move that you select
[05:14.51]You are the cause and the effect
[05:17.96]And so... it goes
