  • 作词 : Brennan, Waits
    Misery's the River of the World
    Misery's the River of the World

    The higher that the monkey can climb
    the more he shows his tail
    Call no man happy 'til he dies
    There's no milk at the bottom of the pail
    God builds a church
    The devil builds a chapel
    Like the thistles that are growing
    'round the trunk of a tree
    All the good in the world
    You can put inside a thimble
    And still have room for you and me
    If there's one thing you can say
    About Mankind
    There's nothing kind about man
    You can drive out nature with a pitch fork
    [From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/t/tom-waits-lyrics/misery-is-the-river-of-the-world-lyrics.html]
    But it always comes roaring back again

    Misery's the River of the World
    Misery's the River of the World
    Misery's the River of the World

    For want of a bird
    The sky was lost
    For want of a nail
    A shoe was lost
    For want of a life
    A knife was lost
    For want of a toy
    A child was lost

    Misery's the River of the World
    Misery's the River of the World
    Everybody Row!Everybody Row!
    Misery's the River of the World
    Misery's the River of the World
    Everbody Row!Everbody Row!
    Everbody Row!
