| [00:01.88] |
|
| [00:18.88] |
Oh I am just a student, sir |
| [00:21.17] |
And only want to learn |
| [00:23.70] |
But it's hard to read through the risin' smoke |
| [00:25.94] |
Of the books that you like to burn |
| [00:28.49] |
So I'd like to make a promise |
| [00:30.46] |
And I'd like to make a vow |
| [00:32.45] |
That when I've got something to say, sir |
| [00:34.78] |
I'm gonna say it now |
| [00:39.00] |
Oh you've given me a number |
| [00:40.88] |
And you've taken off my name |
| [00:43.45] |
To get around this campus |
| [00:45.39] |
Why, you almost need a plane |
| [00:47.83] |
And you're supporting Chang Kai-Shek |
| [00:51.00] |
While I'm supporting Mao |
| [00:52.14] |
So when I've got something to say, sir |
| [00:54.45] |
I'm gonna say it now |
| [00:58.85] |
I wish that you'd make up your mind |
| [01:01.00] |
I wish that you'd decide |
| [01:03.19] |
That I should live as freely |
| [01:05.37] |
As those who live outside |
| [01:08.39] |
Cause we also are entitled |
| [01:10.60] |
To the rights to be endowed |
| [01:13.80] |
And when I've got something to say, sir |
| [01:15.10] |
I'm gonna say it now |
| [01:19.24] |
Ooh, you'd like to be my father |
| [01:21.59] |
You'd like to be my Dad |
| [01:23.78] |
And give me kisses when I'm good |
| [01:25.76] |
And spank me when I'm bad |
| [01:29.26] |
But since I've left my parents |
| [01:31.82] |
I've forgotten how to bow |
| [01:33.58] |
So when I've got something to say, sir |
| [01:36.30] |
I'm gonna say it now |
| [01:42.45] |
And things they might be different |
| [01:44.76] |
If I was here alone |
| [01:48.60] |
But I've got a friend or two |
| [01:49.37] |
Who no longer live at home |
| [01:51.47] |
And we'll respect our elders |
| [01:53.69] |
Just as long as they allow |
| [01:55.96] |
That when I've got something to say, sir |
| [01:58.15] |
I'm gonna say it now |
| [02:03.32] |
I've read of other countries |
| [02:05.40] |
Where the students take a stand |
| [02:07.23] |
Maybe even help to overthrow |
| [02:09.55] |
The leaders of the land |
| [02:12.68] |
Now I wouldn't go so far to say |
| [02:15.31] |
We're also learnin' how |
| [02:17.41] |
But when I've got something to say, sir |
| [02:19.22] |
I'm gonna say it now |
| [02:23.59] |
So keep right on a-talkin' |
| [02:25.10] |
And tell us what to do |
| [02:27.40] |
If nobody listens |
| [02:29.36] |
My apologies to you |
| [02:32.42] |
And I know that you were younger once |
| [02:34.82] |
'cause you sure are older now |
| [02:37.33] |
And when I've got something to say, sir |
| [02:39.16] |
I'm gonna say it now |
| [02:43.56] |
So I am just a student, sir |
| [02:45.73] |
And only want to learn |
| [02:48.12] |
But it's hard to read through the risin' smoke |
| [02:50.62] |
Of the books that you like to burn |
| [02:53.68] |
So I'd like to make a promise |
| [02:54.99] |
And I'd like to make a vow |
| [02:57.38] |
That when I've got something to say, sir |
| [02:59.62] |
I'm gonna say it now |
