How Would You Feel歌词
作词 : Curtis Knight
作曲 : Curtis Knight
This is a song that asks a question
And if you listen I think you'll get the message
If you walked into a restaurant you were hungry
And you had the money to get yourself something to eat, yeah
Somebody told you "go around to the back door to get it"
Even though they wasn't gonna give it to you free
Yeah, Yeah tell me how, yeah oh
How would you feel, oh yeah
If you were me, yeah oh
How would you feel, think about it
You take your children by the hand and you want to guide them
And protect them on their very first day of school, yeah
I just want to ask one question
Do you think that all the little children should be
Punished for the sins of all the older fools
Yeah, Yeah tell me how, yeah oh
How would you feel, oh yeah
If you were me, yeah oh
How would you feel, think about it now, yeah yeah yeah
You walk to the corner and you stand in a place called a bus stop
And a bus pulls up and a man opens up the door, yeah oh
He might (ha) look at you funny but he takes the money
Then he says "hey, you're not one of us, sit in the back of the bus"
Yeah, Yeah tell me how, yeah oh
How would you feel, oh yeah
If you were me, yeah oh
How would you feel, oh yeah
You pick up the morning paper and you read about
People fighting and dying somewhere in a foreign land, oh yeah
Right here people are fighting and dying
And all they're trying to do is get equal rights as the constitution planned
Yeah, Yeah tell me how, yeah oh
How would you feel, oh yeah
If you were me, yeah oh
Think about it now, tell me, how would you feel
Yeah, if all your little children were trying to just go to school and get an education
So that they could find a great place in this wonderful nation
If you went downtown and people waited on you even though you knew they didnt want to
And everywhere you looked around all you could see was hate in peoples eyes
And you try to love them, and you just try to understand one another
And get together and try to live happily as brothers in this great big wonderful nation
Yeah yeah, how, yeah oh
How would you feel, oh yeah
