Học Tiếng Anh Qua Bài Hát Có Phụ Đề: Synchronicity II

Another family morning.
Grandmother screaming at the wall.

We have to shout above the din of our Rice Crispies
We can't hear anything at all.
Mother chants her litany of boredom frustration,
But we know all her suicides are fake.

Daddy only stares into the distance
There's only so more that he can take.
Many miles away something crawls from the slime
At the bottom of a dark Scottish lake.

Another industrial ugly morning
The factory belches filth into sky.
He walks unhindered through the picket lines today,
doesn't think to wonder why.
The secretaries pout and preen like cheap tarts in a red light street,
But all he ever thinks to do is watch.
And every single meeting with his so-called superior
Is a humiliating kick in the
Many away something crawls to the surface
Of a dark Scottish lake.

Another working day has ended.
Only the rush hour hell to face.
Packed like lemmings into shiny metal boxes.
Contestants in a race.
Daddy grips the wheel and stares alone into the distance,
He knows that something somewhere has to break.
He the family home now looming in the headlights,
the pain upstairs that his eyeballs ache.
Many miles away there's a shadow on the door
Of a cottage on the shore
Of a dark Scottish lake...............
