[00:00.00]Let Us Begin(What Are We Making Weapons For) (Remaster) - John Denver (约翰·丹佛)
[00:10.16]I am the son of a grassland farmer
[00:14.93]Western oklahoma nineteen forty three
[00:20.65]I always felt grateful to live
[00:23.98]In the land of the free
[00:30.51]I gave up my father to South Korea
[00:35.46]The mind of my brother to Vietnam
[00:41.80]Now there's a banker who says
[00:44.68]I must give up my land
[00:50.63]There are four generations
[00:52.99]Of blood
[00:54.88]In this topsoil
[00:56.45]Four generations of love
[00:59.45]On this farm
[01:02.30]Before I give up
[01:04.48]I would gladly
[01:06.73]Give up my right arm
[01:12.43]What are we making weapons for
[01:17.20]Why keep on feeding the war machine
[01:21.90]We take it right out of the mouths
[01:24.95]Of our babies
[01:27.02]Take it away from the hands
[01:29.12]Of the poor
[01:31.23]Tell me what are
[01:32.29]We making weapons for
[01:43.54]I had a son and my son was a soldier
[01:48.09]He was so like my father
[01:50.58]He was so much like me
[01:54.39]To be a good comrade was the best
[01:57.59]That he dreamed he could be
[02:04.02]He gave up his future to revolution
[02:09.04]His life to a battle
[02:11.24]That just can't be won
[02:15.02]For this is not living to live
[02:18.76]At the point of a gun
[02:24.16]I remember the nine hundred days
[02:28.41]Of Leningrad
[02:29.70]The sound of the dying
[02:32.25]The cut of the cold
[02:35.79]I remember the moments I prayed
[02:39.69]I would never grow old
[02:45.94]What are we making weapons for
[02:50.72]Why keep on feeding the war machine
[02:55.33]We take it right out of the mouths
[02:58.26]Of our babies
[03:00.43]Take it away from the hands of the poor
[03:04.60]Tell me what are we making weapons for
[03:16.27]For the first time in my life
[03:19.00]I feel like a prisoner
[03:21.31]A slave to the ways of the powers
[03:24.69]That be
[03:27.27]And I fear for my children as
[03:29.72]I fear for the for the future I see
[03:36.39]Tell me how can it be
[03:39.07]We're still fighting each other
[03:42.13]What does it take
[03:43.79]For a people to learn
[03:47.64]If our song is not sung as a chorus
[03:51.58]We surely will burn
[03:57.93]What are we making weapons for
[04:02.56]Why keep on feeding the war machine
[04:07.21]We take it right out
[04:09.36]Of the mouths of our babies
[04:12.04]Take it away from the hands
[04:15.28]Of the poor
[04:16.57]Tell me what are
[04:17.75]We making weapons for
[04:23.02]Have we forgotten
[04:27.13]All the lives that were given
[04:32.44]All the vows that were taken
[04:37.28]Saying never again
[04:42.60]Now for the first time
[04:47.19]This could be the last time
[04:51.99]If peace is our vision
[04:57.41]Let us begin
[04:59.73]Have we forgotten
[05:04.11]All the lives that were given
[05:08.80]All the vows that were taken
[05:13.67]Saying never again never again
[05:18.97]Now for the first time
[05:24.00]This could be the last time
[05:29.36]If peace is our vision
