作词 : Mary Travers/Peter Yarrow/Albert Grossman 作曲 : Mary Travers/Peter Yarrow/Albert Grossman [Verse 1] So I told him that he'd better Shut his mouth and do his job like a man And he answered "Listen, Father I will never kill another" He thinks he's better Than his brother that died What the hell does he think he's doing To his father who brought him up right?
[Chorus] Take your place on The Great Mandala As it moves through your brief moment of time Win or lose now you must choose now And if you lose you're only losing your life
[Verse 2] Tell the jailer not to bother With his meal of brеad and water today He is fasting 'til the killing's ovеr He's a martyr, he thinks he's a prophet But he's a coward, he's just playing a game He can't do it, he can't change it It's been going on for ten thousand years
[Chorus] Take your place on The Great Mandala (The Great Mandala) As it moves through your brief moment of time Win or lose now (Win or lose now) You must choose now (You must choose now) And if you lose you're only losing your life
[Verse 3] What's the rumbling (What's the rumbling) In the courtyard? (In the courtyard?) Seven thousand faces are turned to the gate What's that they're saying? Kill the traitor Kill the traitor (Kill the traitor) Kill the traitor (Kill the traitor) Kill the traitor, la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la la la
[Chorus] Take your place on The Great Mandala As it moves through your brief moment of time Win or lose now (Win or lose now) You must choose now (You must choose now) And if you lose you're only losing your life
[Verse 4] Tell the people they are safe now Hunger stopped him, he lies still in his cell Death has gagged his accusations We are free now, we can kill now We can hate now, now we can end the world We're not guilty, he was crazy And it's been going on for ten thousand years
[Chorus] Take your place on The Great Mandala As it moves through your brief moment of time Win or lose now you must choose now And if you lose you're only wasting your life And if you lose you're only wasting your life
