paroles de chanson Heirloom - Voices

(One, two. Ah, one, two.)

In the interest of the future
Before you go that great beyond
Tell us what to do with your stuff
Who you gonna lay it on

Piles of things that once were yours
Who you gonna lay it on
Your diamonds will last forever
With those you can't go wrong
But who's gonna get your styrofoam
'Cause it's sure to last as long

You know that everything's an heirloom
It's all stuff we pass along
From toxic waste to silver plate
All stuff we pass along

The china and the kitchenware
Will make someone a pleasant gift
But when we divvy up the plastic ware
Will it cause a family rift?

You know that everything's an heirloom
It's all stuff we pass along
From toxic waste to silver plate
All stuff we pass along

Would you put it in the ocean?
Atlantic, pacific
Buried deep beneath the sand
Way down deep
Tell us what is your intention
(Hmmm) Just what is it
That you've got planned?
Would you give it to your mother?
Mother?
Would your mother take it home?
I don't think so
Would she leave it by her bedside?
No way
Would she place it by her phone?
Would you give it to your sweetie?
What a doll
Would he take it if you did?
Absolutely not
Would he savor every plastic wrap and
Relish every lid?

You know that everything's an heirloom
It's all stuff we pass along
From toxic waste to silver plate
All stuff we pass along

In the interest of the future
In the interest of the future
Before you go to that great beyond (the future)
Tell us what to do with your stuff
Who you gonna lay it on?
Who you gonna lay it on?
Who you gonna lay it on?
