Joni Mitchell - Banquet слова песни
Come to the dinner gongThe table is laden highFat bellies and hungry little onesTuck your napkins inAnd take your shareSome get the gravyAnd some get the gristleSome get the marrow boneAnd some get nothingThough theres plenty to spareI took my share down by the seaPaper plates and javex bottles on the tideSeagulls come downAnd they squawk at meDown where the water-skiers glideSome turn to jesusAnd some turn to heroinSome turn to rambling roundLooking for a clean skyAnd a drinking streamSome watch the paint peel offSome watch their kids grow upSome watch their stocks and bondsWaiting for that big dealAmerican dreamI took my dream down by the seaYankee yachts and lobster pots and sunshineAnd logs and sailsAnd shell oil pailsDogs and tugs and summertimeBack in the banquet lineAngry young people cryingWho let the greedy inAnd who left the needy outWho made this salty soupTell him were very hungry nowFor a sweeter fareIn the cookie I read"some get the gravyAnd some get the gristleSome get the marrow boneAnd some get nothingThough theres plenty to spare"
