英文摇滚歌曲：Ben Kweller - Out the Door

In 1997, with dreamy Ozzie kiddos Silverchair at their commercial zenith and record labels seeing dollar signs, an unassuming pop-rock trio from Texas led by teenage singer-songwriter Ben Kweller sparked¹ a bidding war.

歌词：


Song：Out the Door
Artist：Ben Kweller

“You’ll never believe this.”
It happened today baby, my final revelation²
I was sittin’ there, he said, “y’all don’t care,
You’re the reason for this broken nation”
Broken dreams don’t die
Here I go out the door
I don’t need no more
Here I stand, I got your hand
There’s no need to know which way to go
.
It’s her versus³ him
It’s us against them
You sink or swim or you’re swallowed
.
You bleed ‘til yer bled
You feed ‘til yer fed
You lead or ye led to be followed
All you can do is try
.
Here I go out the door
I don’t need no more
Here I stand, I got your hand
There’s no need to know
.
Which way to go, honey
I don’t mind, I don’t mind
Which way to go, honey
I don’t mind, I don’t mind
I really don’t mind.
.
Which way to go, honey
I don’t mind, I don’t mind
Which way to go, honey
I don’t mind, I don’t mind
I really don’t mind.
.
Here I go out the door
I don’t need no more
Here I stand, I got your hand
There’s no need to know
Which way to go out the door
I don’t need no more
Here I stand, I got your hand
There’s no need to know
There’s no need to know
