I Was Educated By Myself-Richie Havens

[00:00.000] 作曲 : Richie Havens [00:24.67]I can’t buy the lie and it don’t matter [00:32.68]Even though I try to keep my health [00:40.65]It all seems the same, such a silly game [00:48.08]Played by silly fools who don’t even follow their own rules [00:57.06]But oh, when the sunshine follows me around [01:04.86]Lifts my feet and takes me from the ground [01:14.88]High enough to see the shelf [01:21.09]And know that I was educated by myself [01:29.93]I have seen the streets groaning, not battered [01:43.11]Though amongst us all, we kept our wealth [01:50.30]And though the rain goes pitter-patter, [01:54.84] [01:58.37]It don’t change the pain that we all felt [02:06.22]But oh, when the sunshine follows us around [02:14.41]Lifts our feet and takes us from the ground, [02:23.89]High enough for us to tell [02:30.70]That we were educated by ourselves [02:37.15] [03:19.44]It’s a simple dream, a common pattern [03:27.42]A universal scheme for us to sell [03:35.47]And though it’s a long, long way between Mars and Saturn, [03:43.01]But right here on Earth, we know so well [03:51.31]That all we need is sunshine on the ground [03:59.74]And smiles and smiles and smiles from frown to frown [04:08.41]Just enough for us to yell [04:16.42]That we were educated by ourselves
