john adams - act ii, scene 1: "look down at the earth" lyrics

Loading...

chorus:
look down at the earth
look down, look down;
down from the north the snowstorm comes
mile after mile on each side
of the ice+locked wall vanishes
far as you can see you cannot see the land or sky
far as you can see you cannot see the land or sky

pat:
this little elephant in glass
brings back so many memories
the symbol of our party, prize of our success
our sacred cow surrounded by blind brahmins
slow, musclebound, well+dressed, half+awake
with liberty upon her back
tell me, is it one of a kind?

chorus:
it has been carefully designed
by workers in our factory
they can make hundrеds every day

pat:
wonderful
chorus:
look down, look down at thе earth
a living current moves beneath
rivers caught in the hand of death
rivers caught in the hand of death
rivers caught in the hand of death
serpentine mountains cross the plain
to bask in an uncertain sun
and elephantine hills rejoice
advancing towards a sky of ice
this country is so beautiful;
one fine day you will see it all

chorus:
this is the people’s clinic

pat:
ouch!
i think it’s sort of rude to watch

chorus:
do not distress yourself, she begs
she will get well
come, come see the pigs!

[whooping, cheering]
pig [repeated through scene]

pat:
i once raised a red+ribbon boar

chorus:
do you think you could scratch his ear?

pat:
i once raised a red+ribbon boar

chorus:
do you think you could scratch his ear?
do you think+
thank you

pat:
and how was that?

chorus:
just fine. thank you. thank you

chorus:
here are some children having fun

pat:
the children in the u.s.a. all say h+llo
i used to be a teacher many years ago
and now i’m here to learn from you
