    歌词:
    Album  by:  Thick  As  A  Brick
    Artist by: Jethro Tull
    Really dont mind if you sit this one out.
    My words but a whisper -- your deafness a shout.
    I may make you feel but I cant make you think.
    Your sperms in the gutter -- your loves in the sink.
    So you ride yourselves over the fields and
    You make all your animal deals and
    Your wise men dont know how it feels to be thick as a brick.
    And the sand-castle virtues are all swept away in
    The tidal destruction
    The moral melee.
    The elastic retreat rings the close of play as the last wave uncovers
    The newfangled way.
    But your new shoes are worn at the heels and
    Your suntan does rapidly peel and
    Your wise men dont know how it feels to be thick as a brick.
    And the love that I feel is so far away:
    Im a bad dream that I just had today -- and you
    Shake your head and
    Say its a shame.
    Spin me back down the years and the days of my youth.
    Draw the lace and black curtains and shut out the whole truth.
    Spin me down the long ages: let them sing the song.
    See there!a son is born -- and we pronounce him fit to fight.
    There are black-heads on his shoulders, and he pees himself in the night.
    Well
    Make a man of him
    Put him to trade
    Teach him
    To play monopoly and
    To sing in the rain.
    The poet and the painter casting shadows on the water --
    As the sun plays on the infantry returning from the sea.
    The do-er and the thinker: no allowance for the other --
    As the failing light illuminates the mercenarys creed.
    The home fire burning: the kettle almost boiling --
    But the master of the house is far away.
    The horses stamping -- their warm breath clouding
    In the sharp and frosty morning of the day.
    And the poet lifts his pen while the soldier sheaths his sword.
    And the youngest of the family is moving with authority.
    Building castles by the sea, he dares the tardy tide to wash them all aside.
    The cattle quietly grazing at the grass down by the river
    Where the swelling mountain water moves onward to the sea:
    The builder of the castles renews the age-old purpose
    And contemplates the milking girl whose offer is his need.
    The young men of the household have
    All gone into service and
    Are not to be expected for a year.
    The innocent young master -- thoughts moving ever faster --
    Has formed the plan to change the man he seems.
    And the poet sheaths his pen while the soldier lifts his sword.
    And the oldest of the family is moving with authority.
    Coming from across the sea, he challenges the son who puts him to the run.
    What do you do when
    The old mans gone -- do you want to be him? and
    Your real self sings the song.
    Do you want to free him?
    No one to help you get up steam --
    And the whirlpool turns you 'way off-beam.
    Later.
    Ive come down from the upper class to mend your rotten ways.
    My father was a man-of-power whom everyone obeyed.
    So come on all you criminals!
    Ive got to put you straight just like I did with my old man --
    Twenty years too late.
    Your bread and waters going cold.
    Your hair is too short and neat.
    Ill judge you all and make damn sure that no-one judges me.
    You curl your toes in fun as you smile at everyone -- you meet the stares.
    Youre unaware that your doings arent done.
    And you laugh most ruthlessly as you tell us what not to be.
    But how are we supposed to see where we should run?
    I see you shuffle in the courtroom with
    Your rings upon your fingers and
    Your downy little sidies and
    Your silver-buckle shoes.
    Playing at the hard case, you follow the example of the comic-paper idol
    Who lets you bend the rules.
    So!
    Come on ye childhood heroes!
    Wont you rise up from the pages of your comic-books
    Your super crooks
    And show us all the way.
    Well! make your will and testament. wont you?
    Join your local government.
    Well have superman for president
    Let robin save the day.
    You put your bet on number one and it comes up every time.
    The other kids have all backed down and they put you first in line.
    And so you finally ask yourself just how big you are --
    And take your place in a wiser world of bigger motor cars.
    And you wonder who to call on.
    So! where the hell was biggles when you needed him last saturday?
    And where were all the sportsmen who always pulled you though?
    Theyre all resting down in cornwall --
    Writing up their memoirs for a paper-back edition
    Of the boy scout manual.
    Later.
    See there! a man born -- and we pronounce him fit for peace.
    Theres a load lifted from his shoulders with the discovery of his disease.
    Well
    Take the child from him
    Put it to the test
    Teach it
    To be a wise man
    How to fool the rest.
    Quote
    We will be geared to the average rather than the exceptional
    God is an overwhelming responsibility
    We walked through the maternity ward and saw 218 babies wearing nylons
    Cats are on the upgrade
    Upgrade? hipgrave. oh, mac.
    Later
    In the clear white circles of morning wonder,
    I take my place with the lord of the hills.
    And the blue-eyed soldiers stand slightly discoloured (in neat little rows)
    Sporting canvas frills.
    With their jock-straps pinching, they slouch to attention,
    While queueing for sarnies at the office canteen.
    Saying -- hows your granny and
    Good old ernie: he coughed up a tenner on a premium bond win.
    The legends (worded in the ancient tribal hymn) lie cradled
    In the seagulls call.
    And all the promises they made are ground beneath the sadists fall.
    The poet and the wise man stand behind the gun,
    And signal for the crack of dawn.
    Light the sun.
    Do you believe in the day? do you?
    Believe in the day! the dawn creation of the kings has begun.
    Soft venus (lonely maiden) brings the ageless one.
    Do you believe in the day?
    The fading hero has returned to the night -- and fully pregnant with the day,
    Wise men endorse the poets sight.
    Do you believe in the day? do you? believe in the day!
    Let me tell you the tales of your life of
    Your love and the cut of the knife
    The tireless oppression
    The wisdom instilled
    The desire to kill or be killed.
    Let me sing of the losers who lie in the street as the last bus goes by.
    The pavements ar empty: the gutters run red -- while the fool
    Toasts his God in the sky.
    So come all ye young men who are building castles!
    Kindly state the time of the year and join your voices in a hellish chorus.
    Mark the precise nature of your fear.
    Let me help you pick up your dead as the sins of the father are fed
    With
    The blood of the fools and
    The thoughts of the wise and
    From the pan under your bed.
    Let me make you a present of song as
    The wise man breaks wind and is gone while
    The fool with the hour-glass is cooking his goose and
    The nursery rhyme winds along.
    So! come all ye young men who are building castles!
    Kindly state the time of the year and join your voices in a hellish chorus.
    Mark the precise nature of your fear.
    See! the summer lightning casts its bolts upon you
    And the hour of judgement draweth near.
    Would you be
    The fool stood in his suit of armour or
    The wiser man who rushes clear.
    So! come on ye childhood heroes!
    Wont your rise up from the pages of your comic-books
    Your super-crooks and
    Show us all the way.
    Well! make your will and testament.
    Wont you? join your local government.
    Well have superman for president
    Let robin save the day.
    So! where the hell was biggles when you needed him last saturday?
    And where were all the sportsmen who always pulled you through?
    Theyre all resting down in cornwall -- writing up their memoirs
    For a paper-back edition of the boy scout manual.
    Of course
    So you ride yourselves over the fields and
    You make all your animal deals and
    Your wise men dont know how it feels to be thick as a brick.
