Where Were You?
Where were you before the building burned;
Where were you before the building burned?
You've got a lot to say--Standing over ashes cold and gray;
But yesterday--Where were you?
Where were you before the building burned;
Where were you before the building burned?
You are horrified, but where were you when the baby died
Of rat-bites--Where were you?
Where were you before the building burned;
Where were you before the building burned?
You call the clubs and guns to beat down our maddened sons--
When they were quiet ones, Where were you?
Where were you before the building burned;
Where were you before the building burned?
That indignant voice is just a lot of empty noise
Cause when you had the choice, Where were you?
Where were you before the building burned;
Where were you before the building burned?
You've got a lot to say--Standing over ashes cold and gray;
But yesterday--Where were you?
¿Dónde Estabas?
¿Dónde estabas antes de que el edificio se incendiara;
¿Dónde estabas antes de que el edificio se incendiara?
Tienes mucho que decir--De pie sobre cenizas frías y grises;
Pero ayer--¿Dónde estabas?
¿Dónde estabas antes de que el edificio se incendiara;
¿Dónde estabas antes de que el edificio se incendiara?
Estás horrorizado, pero ¿dónde estabas cuando el bebé murió
De mordeduras de ratas--¿Dónde estabas?
¿Dónde estabas antes de que el edificio se incendiara;
¿Dónde estabas antes de que el edificio se incendiara?
Llamas a los clubes y armas para golpear a nuestros hijos enloquecidos--
Cuando eran tranquilos, ¿dónde estabas?
¿Dónde estabas antes de que el edificio se incendiara;
¿Dónde estabas antes de que el edificio se incendiara?
Esa voz indignada es solo mucho ruido vacío
Porque cuando tenías la elección, ¿dónde estabas?
¿Dónde estabas antes de que el edificio se incendiara;
¿Dónde estabas antes de que el edificio se incendiara?
Tienes mucho que decir--De pie sobre cenizas frías y grises;
Pero ayer--¿Dónde estabas?
