Misery Is the River of the World Lyrics – Tom Waits
Singer: Tom Waits
Title: Misery Is the River of the World
The higher that the monkey can climb
The more he shows his tail
Call no man happy ’till he dies
There’s no milk at the bottom of the pail
God builds a church
The devil builds a chapel
Like the thistles that are growing
‘Round the trunk of a tree
All the good in the world
You can put inside a thimble
And still have room for you and me
If there’s one thing you can say about mankind
There’s nothing kind about man
You can drive out nature with a pitch fork
But it always comes roaring back again
Misery’s the river of the world
Misery’s the river of the world
Misery’s the river of the world
The higher that the monkey can climb
The more he shows his tail
Call no man happy ’till he dies
There’s no milk at the bottom of the pail
God tempers all the ruins for the new shorn lands
The devil knows the Bible like the back of his hand
All the good in the world
You can put inside a thimble
And still have room for you and me
If there’s one thing you can say about mankind
There’s nothing kind about man
You can drive out nature with a pitch fork
But it always comes roaring back again
For want of a bird
The sky was lost
For want of a nail
A shoe was lost
For want of a life
A knife was lost
For want of a toy
A child was lost
And misery’s the river of the world
Misery’s the river of the world
Everybody row! Everybody row!
Misery’s the river of the world
Misery’s the river of the world
Misery’s the river of the world
Everybody row! Everybody row!
Everybody row! Everybody row!
Misery’s the river of the world
Misery’s the river of the world
Everybody row! Everybody row!
Everybody row! Everybody row!
Everybody row!
Misery’s the river of the world
Misery’s the river of the world
Misery’s the river of the world
Misery’s the river of the world
Everybody row! Everybody row!
Everybody row!

Misery Is the River of the World – Terjemahan / Translation
Semakin tinggi bahwa monyet dapat memanjat
Semakin dia menunjukkan ekornya
Sebut tidak ada pria bahagia ‘sampai dia mati
Tidak ada susu di bagian bawah ember
Tuhan membangun sebuah gereja
Iblis membangun sebuah kapel
Seperti thistles yang tumbuh
‘Keliling batang pohon
Semua yang baik di dunia
Anda dapat menempatkan di dalam bidal
Dan masih punya ruang untukmu dan aku
Jika ada satu hal yang dapat Anda katakan tentang umat manusia
Tidak ada apa-apa tentang pria
Anda dapat mengusir alam dengan garpu pitch
Tapi itu selalu menderu kembali lagi
Misery’s The River of the World
Misery’s The River of the World
Misery’s The River of the World
Semakin tinggi bahwa monyet dapat memanjat
Semakin dia menunjukkan ekornya
Sebut tidak ada pria bahagia ‘sampai dia mati
Tidak ada susu di bagian bawah ember
Tuhan mengemukakan semua reruntuhan untuk tanah menyodorkan baru
Iblis tahu Alkitab seperti bagian belakang tangannya
Semua yang baik di dunia
Anda dapat menempatkan di dalam bidal
Dan masih punya ruang untukmu dan aku
Jika ada satu hal yang dapat Anda katakan tentang umat manusia
Tidak ada apa-apa tentang pria
Anda dapat mengusir alam dengan garpu pitch
Tapi itu selalu menderu kembali lagi
Untuk keinginan seekor burung
Langit hilang
Untuk keinginan paku
Sepatu hilang
Untuk keinginan seumur hidup
Pisau hilang
Untuk keinginan mainan
Seorang anak hilang
Dan kesengsaraan adalah sungai dunia
Misery’s The River of the World
Semua Baris! Semua Baris!
Misery’s The River of the World
Misery’s The River of the World
Misery’s The River of the World
Semua Baris! Semua Baris!
Semua Baris! Semua Baris!
Misery’s The River of the World
Misery’s The River of the World
Semua Baris! Semua Baris!
Semua Baris! Semua Baris!
Semua Baris!
Misery’s The River of the World
Misery’s The River of the World
Misery’s The River of the World
Misery’s The River of the World
Semua Baris! Semua Baris!
Semua Baris!
