Текст песни: Sons and Daughters + перевод

Well, it all began like a new routine

We were drunk, we were tired, we were sick, we were in between

And the jig was up when the sun went down

It was dark, it was mean, it was black, there was not a sound

And when the morning papers did not come

We shook our heads

We knew that we were done

And so we sat and prayed for just another try

Throw your babies in the water

Da da da

Let your hair down like you used to

And tell all your sons and daughters

Da da da

They don’t have to grow up like you

They’re not supposed to

Now the birds don’t sing and the cars won’t go

There’s a lump in your throat

There’s no songs on the radio

And the walls caved in, and the well went dry, and the mountain shook

And the people all wondered why

And in the morning I woke up to find there’s someone here

There’s someone in mind and so I hung my head and

And began to cry

Throw your babies in the water

Da da da

Let your hair down like you used to

And tell all your sons and daughters

Da da da

They don’t have to grow up like you

They’re not supposed to

Cradled whipped and mother’s tongue

It’s not hard to see what went wrong

If I told you once like I done told you twice

You can beg you can kneel you can pray, you’ll be sacrificed

And when the morning papers did not come

We shook our heads

We knew that we were done

And so we sat and prayed for just another try

Throw your babies in the water

Da da da

Let your hair down like you used to

And tell all your sons and daughters

Da da da

They don’t have to grow up like you

They’re not supposed to

Throw your babies in the water

Da da da

Let your hair down like you used to

And tell all your sons and daughters

Da da da

They don’t have to grow up like you

They’re not supposed to
