因果 - Matthew Lien (马修·连恩)
Composed by：马修.连恩
And the man declared
All the dirt the dust and hair
Will vanish right into the air
For a little while
You can purchase with a smile
And a credit card without a care
It never seemed that notable
Those cartridges disposable
Just go away come garbage day
The tragedy in utero
Reveals a bleeding embryo
An ecosystem in decay
This is spiritual neglect
This is 'cause and effect
And so
With every move that you select
You are the 'cause and the effect
And so it goes
It's a polished act
As you present the basic facts
And the sale was unilateral
And the papers said
More than fifty thousand dead
And the damage was collateral
The sounds of bombs and fire alarms
A mother with her babe in arms
Hurries toward the cellar door
Fire burned within her heart
The strike was swift the bomb was smart
A flash of light and nothing more
This is spiritual neglect
This is 'cause and effect
And so
With every move that you select
You are the 'cause and the effect
And so it goes
Oh
Every deal and every pact
Every time you fail to act
Every wrapper plastic tray
Everything you throw away
And every time you cast your vote
Wars domestic and remote
Everything you've ever heard
Every move and every word
And the lion said
Praise to God the lamb is dead
Hail the mighty interest rate
And the path was found
To attain the higher ground
Where the corporate raiders congregate
But in a far and distant land
Dying in the desert sand
The victim of hypocrisy
How could no one recognize
Reflected in that child's eyes
Was fear and pain and you and me
This is spiritual neglect
This is 'cause and effect
And so
With every move that you select
You are the 'cause and the effect
And so
This is all that you direct
You are the 'cause and the effect
And so
With every move that you select
You are the 'cause and the effect
And so it goes
