Текст песни I've Thought About It (Ralph McTell) с переводом

I’ve thought about it

I really have tried

And the answer quite simply

Is that they tell lies

And they’ve got the power

And what they decide

Affects your life and my life and everybody’s life besides.

And I’ve thought about it

Till my brain says «no more»

I’ve justified their actions

And I’ve criticised their wars

And I’ve watched them balance on the edge of the knife

And it’s your life and my life and none of our lives are safe.

From lack of food

Thousands have died.

While farmers burn crops

Just to keep prices high

And from that kind of logic

There’s no place to hide!

That could be your life or my life or anybody’s life next time.

For the sword of justice

They can find an excuse

But her scales have gone rusty

From not being used

And no blindfold can hide

The tears in her eyes.

For your life, my life, and everybody’s life besides.

And if Jesus came back

To lead us again

They’d make sure that he met

The very same end.

Though their names have been changed

They survive to this day

They’ll take your life or my life, or anybody’s life in their way.

And my guitar protects me

But that’s not really true

If you took it away

I’d be just the same as you

And though songs never change things

But they help you decide

To change your life, my life, and everybody’s life besides.

And they talk about a revolution.

And they talk about a revolution.

Talk about a revolution. ..
