DOES ANYBODY REALLY KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS ?


from Chicago Transit Authority (1969)

Written and sung by Robert Lamm

As I was walking down the street one day
A man came up to me and asked me what the time was that was
on my watch, yeah
And I said
Does anybody really know what time it is
I don't
Does anybody really care
care
If so I can't imagine why
about time
We've all got time enough to cry
Oh no, no
And I was walking down the street one day
A pretty lady looked at me and said her diamond watch had
stopped cold dead
And I said
Does anybody really know what time it is
I don't
Does anybody really care
care
If so I can't imagine why
about time
We've all got time enough to cry
Oh no, no
And I was walking down the street one day
Being pushed and shoved by people trying to beat the clock,
oh, so I just don't know,
I just don't know
And I said, yes I said


Background Vocal:

People runnin' everywhere
Don't know the way to go
Don't know where I am
Can't see past the next step
Don't have to think past the last mile
Have no time to look around
Just run around, run around and think why
Does anybody really know what time it is
I don't
Does anybody really care
care
If so I can't imagine why
about time
We've all got time enough to die
Oh no, no

　お粗末すぎる我が国の政権に宛て，掲げる

　I'd like to send this great song to our laughable government.

　


　救援活動中の今，"復興"を と，
　冷静な国民に向かって"冷静に" と無礼を呼びかける，無能なリーダーをいただいている不幸が，我が国の現実。
