Cat Power - ruin

노래는 여행 중에 만난 다양한 도시와 사람들의 이야기로 시작된다
그 과정에서 불만과 고통을 겪는 이들을 바라보며 사회의 현실을 반영하고, 무엇을 하고 있는지 되묻는다
마지막에는 집으로 돌아와도 여전히 그 문제들이 남아 있음을 일깨운다

I've seen gypsies who made it all the way
And kept going, kept rolling with nowhere to go
Nowhere to go
As far as I've seen from the bush
In the wilderness, to every known city
I've been to Saudi Arabia, Dhaka, Calcutta
Soweto, Mozambique, Istanbul, Rio, Rome
Argentina, Chile, Mejico, Taiwan, Great Britain
Belfast, to the desert, Spain, Wollongong
Some little bitty island in the middle of the Pacific
All the way back home, to my town
To my town
Bitching, complaining and some people ain't got shit to eat
Bitching, moaning, so many people you know what they ain't got
What are we doing?
We're sitting on a ruin
What are we doing?
We're sitting on a ruin
As far as I've seen from the bush
In the wilderness, to every known city
I've been to Saudi Arabia, Dhaka, Calcutta
Soweto, Mozambique, Istanbul, Rio, Rome
Argentina, Chile, Mejico, Taiwan, Great Britain
Belfast, to the desert, Spain, Tokyo
Some little bitty island in the middle of the Pacific
All the way back home, to my town
To my town
Bitching, complaining and some people ain't got shit to eat
Bitching, moaning, so many people you know what they ain't got
