[00:00.00]Front Line - Stevie Wonder (史提夫·汪达)
[00:22.38]I am a veteran of the war
[00:27.75]I up and joined the army back an 1964
[00:33.12]At sixteen I just had to be a man at any cost
[00:38.48]I volunteered for Vietnam where I got my leg shot off
[00:44.10]I recall a quote form a movie
[00:46.03]That said"Who's more a man
[00:49.46]Than a man with a reason
[00:50.84]That's worth dyin' for"
[00:55.09]They had me standing on the front line
[01:00.38]They had me standing on the front line
[01:05.81]They had me standing on the front line
[01:10.00]But now I stand at the back of the line
[01:12.06]When it comes to gettin' ahead
[01:16.67]They gave me a uniform and a tiny salty pill
[01:22.11]To stop the big urge I might have for the wrong kind of thrill
[01:27.54]They put a gun in my hand and said"Shoot until he's dead"
[01:32.78]But it's hard to kill when"Please I'm your friend"
[01:35.40]Echoes through your head
[01:38.39]Brought up in church
[01:39.77]Taught no man should take another's life
[01:43.76]But then put in the jungle
[01:45.13]Where life has no price no
[01:49.33]They had me standing on the front line
[01:54.20]They had me standing on the front line
[02:00.19]They had me standing on the front line
[02:04.18]But now I stand at the back of the line
[02:06.25]When it comes to gettin' ahead
[02:11.05]Back in the world the paper reads today
[02:16.29]Another war is in the brewing
[02:21.85]But what about the lives of yesterday
[02:26.27]And the many happy families that have been ruined
[02:32.70]My niece is a hooker and my nephew's a junkie too
[02:37.94]But they say I have no right to tell them how they should do
[02:43.56]They laugh and say"Quit braggin'
[02:45.55]'Bout the war you should have never been in"
[02:48.86]But my mind is so brain-washed
[02:51.11]I'd probably go back and do it again
[02:54.42]I walk the neighborhood parading my purple heart
[02:59.91]With a fear of agent orange that no one will stop no
[03:05.33]They had me standing on the front line
[03:10.39]They had me standing on the front line
[03:16.26]They had me standing on the front line
[03:20.38]But now I stand at the back of the line
[03:22.20]When it comes to gettin' ahead
[03:26.95]They had me standing on the front line
[03:32.51]They had me standing on the front line
[03:37.94]They had me standing on the front line
[03:42.06]Now I stand at the back of the line
[03:44.06]When it comes to gettin' ahead
[03:47.18]Would you believe I do
[03:48.80]They had me standing on the front line
[03:53.79]They had me standing on the front line
[03:59.72]They had me standing on the front line
[04:03.66]But now I stand at the back of the line
[04:06.02]When it comes to gettin' ahead
