Passive People

作曲 : Chapin

Another day slips away like a baby from a chair

I watch the fall

No one seems to care at all

Not at all

Another crime joins the line

That stretches all the way to the sea

But I'm glad it didn't happen to me

Not to me

We are passive people

At the end of the day

We let the outrage melt away

It seems that life is so much easier that way

We are passive people

There's a lot that we can take

Our hearts will dry up before they break

No questions asked, just invisible ache

The riches climb dime by dime

So happy that we've finally got it made

So the dollars aren't so evenly sprayed around

But maybe -- yes -- I think they'll trickle down

We have heaven-sent good intent

We cry for lonely people at the movies

We feel their pain

We storm the streets but then it starts to rain

It begins to rain

We are passive people

At the end of the day

We let the outrage melt away

It seems that life is so much easier that way

We are passive people

There's a lot that we can take

Our hearts will dry up before they break

No questions asked, just invisible ache
