- Gil Scott-Heron Pieces of a Man 歌詞
- Gil Scott-Heron
- Jagged jigsaw pieces
Tossed about the room
I saw my grandma sweepin
With her old straw broom
But she didnt what she was doin
She could hardly understand
That she was really sweepin up
Pieces of a manI saw my daddy greet the mailman
And I heard the mailman say
'now dont you take this letter to heart now Jimmy
Cause theyve laid off nine others today'
But he didnt know what he was saying
He could hardly understand
That he was only talkin to
Pieces of a manI saw the thunder and heard the lightnin!
And felt the burden of his shame
And for some unknown reason
He never turned my wayPieces of that letter
Were tossed about that room
And now I hear the sound of sirens
Come knifing through the gloom
But they dont know what they are doing
They could hardly understand
That theyre only arrestin
Pieces of a manI saw him go to pieces
I saw him go to pieces
He was always such a good man
He was always such a strong strong man
Yeah, I saw him go to pieces
I saw him go to pieces'
