The Longest Night (Live at the Hearst Greek Theatre, Berkeley, CA - June 1983)

歌詞

Wind is in the east Stare at us eyes in wonder Like beggars at a feast We can't even, count the number What you gonna do? Send them table scraps we're leaving One who care are few Most spend there time, with useless meaning Dear father, Do you think that it will be alright? Tell me mother, Will we make it through? We make it through the hungry night. Somewhere in the west Gold teeth, but sometime is gleaming We know we are the best Even know, the beasts lie screaming We've got power to spare A new clear day Is dawning they say But tell us, don't you dare The piper has a price that we pay Dear preacher, Do you think that we'll see the light? Tell me teacher, Well we make it through? We make it through the darkest night. Two faces in the south The first one has a look of With fine words in his mouth His heart is black, As ghetto chimneys What you gonna do? To hide the shame, Contain their anger. What you gonna say? You walk the line, of constant danger Dear brother, You think we'll have to stand and fight? Tell me sister, Will we make it through? We make it through the longest night. Dear father, Do you think it's gonna be alright? Tell me teacher, Do you think that we'll see the light? Tell me brother, You think we'll have to stand and fight? Tell me sister, Will we make it through? Make it through the longest night.
