[00:00.00]The Sign - Nujabes (せば じゅん)
[00:28.86]You wanna watch it all fall apart
[00:30.13]
[00:31.38]Every time I walk I watch
[00:33.36]I look I notice
[00:34.07]I observe
[00:34.94]I read the signs
[00:35.74]
[00:36.98]And the signs are pointing in the wrong direction
[00:38.71]
[00:39.66]The signs are not naming the streets
[00:41.08]Or leading you to the highways
[00:42.17]The signs are naming names
[00:43.66]
[00:44.39]Tombstones to mark the death of children not even born
[00:46.77]
[00:47.83]And I don't mean abortion
[00:48.85]I mean what is to come
[00:49.91]
[00:51.05]The signs are telling me to turn back around
[00:52.66]
[00:53.45]The signs are telling me to research my past
[00:55.03]
[00:55.93]The signs are telling me to learn from my mistakes
[00:57.63]
[00:58.79]The signs are asking me questions
[01:00.06]
[01:01.15]Do you wanna watch it all fall apart
[01:02.54]
[01:03.84]Do you have any control
[01:04.80]
[01:05.62]Is there anything that you can do
[01:06.95]
[01:08.32]Time is not a nice person
[01:09.65]
[01:10.34]I know because the sign said it
[01:11.70]
[01:12.75]Time can be generous
[01:13.68]But ultimately time is indifferent
[01:15.16]
[01:15.98]Time does not give two damns or a f**k
[01:17.66]
[01:18.24]So what will you do
[01:19.14]
[01:20.49]What will we do
[01:21.21]
[01:22.48]So I'm in the middle of the street talkin' to the signs
[01:24.60]And people are lookin' at me pointing and laughing
[01:26.35]Like This mothaf**ker's crazy
[01:27.67]
[01:29.33]But do they not see the signs
[01:30.89]
[01:32.36]Do you not see the signs
[01:33.78]
[02:16.95]If there is one thing in this world
[02:17.95]That you can depend on
[02:18.69]That you can bet your last dollar on
[02:20.30]It's the ignorance of the American people
[02:22.11]
[02:23.64]But still I have faith
[02:24.55]
[02:26.74]But still I read the signs
[02:27.78]
[02:29.16]They are indeed there
[02:30.03]
[02:31.75]Some of us are lost
[02:32.52]And will not find our way
[02:33.72]No matter what the signs say
[02:35.13]
[02:36.50]Some of us do not see the signs because
[02:37.86]We are too busy shopping
[02:38.93]
[02:40.19]Some of us do not see the signs because
[02:41.50]We can't help but stop
[02:42.62]And look at the accidents and stare
[02:45.03]
[02:46.22]We are in a daze
[02:47.24]
[02:48.09]We are amazed by the world's displays
[02:49.81]
[02:51.18]Some of us do not see the signs because
[02:52.47]We are giving spare change to the homeless
[02:54.43]
[02:55.15]We are getting gas
[02:56.11]We are volunteering for duty
[02:57.64]
[02:58.28]And we are watching television
[02:59.37]
[03:00.59]We are driving around in circles on spinners
[03:02.12]And we are working eight to six
[03:03.98]
[03:05.02]We are on our way to the club
[03:06.49]We are high we are drunk and we are sober
[03:08.58]
[03:09.34]And we do not see the signs
[03:10.71]
[03:12.38]We are listening to a moron babble
[03:13.85]
[03:14.71]We are listening to tongues that lie
[03:16.20]
[03:16.88]We give them an ear
[03:17.56]We give them a hand
[03:18.39]We give them both eyes
[03:19.53]
[03:20.77]So we cannot see the signs
[03:22.09]
[03:24.83]There are children playing in the streets
[03:26.19]And they cannot read the signs
[03:27.63]
[03:28.58]They are only children
[03:29.61]
[03:33.66]Stop
[03:34.12]
[03:36.08]Stop
[03:36.41]
[03:38.01]I fear there is no U-turn
[03:39.21]
[03:41.11]And that this road dead-ends
[03:42.19]
[03:42.83]Because we cannot read the signs
[03:44.39]
[03:45.82]Do you not see the signs
[03:46.88]
[03:47.55]We must read the signs
[03:48.75]
[03:51.19]And we must turn around
[03:52.18]
[03:54.10]We must turn around
[03:55.15]
[03:56.96]We gotta turn this sh*t around
[03:58.35]
[04:00.33]And we gotta read the signs
[04:01.58]
[04:04.70]We must read the signs
[04:05.78]
[04:08.19]We must read the signs
[04:09.42]
[04:11.77]We must read the signs
[04:12.90]
[04:15.04]We gotta read the signs
[04:16.00]
[04:18.23]We gotta turn this sh*t around
[04:19.42]
[04:21.60]We must turn this sh*t around
[04:22.95]
[04:25.40]We gotta turn this sh*t around
[04:26.60]
[04:28.41]We must turn this sh*t around
