Peices Of A Man — текст песни (Gil Scott-Heron)

?Jacky? jigsaw peices
Tossed about the room
I saw my grandma sweepin
With her old straw broom
But she didn`t what she was doin
She could hardly understand
That she was really sweepin up..
peices of a man

I saw my daddy greet the mailman
And I heard the mailman say
now don`t you take this letter to heart now Jimmy
cause they`ve laid off nine others today
But he didn`t know what he was saying
He could hardly understand
That he was only talkin to
Peices of a man

I saw the thunder and heard the lightnin`!
And felt the burden of his shame
And for some unknown reason
He never turned my way

Peices of that letter
Were tossed about that room
And now I hear the sound of sirens
Come knifing through the gloom
But they don`t know what they are doing
They could hardly understand
That they`re only arrestin
Peices of a man

I saw him go to peices
I saw him go to peices
He was always such a good man
He was always such a strong strong man
Yeah, I saw him go to peices
I saw him go to peices
