Audra Mae - Ne'er Do Wells [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

When I was 9 years old my daddy made me see
The story of the railroad and how it came to be
He said the men who laid it down had left their own home towns
And broke their backs to give us traction

Ne'er do wells and woe be gones
Show your face for we were wrong
Ne'er do wells and woe be gones
Feel no shame it won't be long
Yeah

Do you ever stop to think who built those walls around you
Do you ever wonder who those people were at all
Because the hands that give you shelter
Are the very ones that you refused
And the proof of what they're worth
Will long after you and I are gone

Ne'er do wells and woe be gones
Show your face for we were wrong
Ne'er do wells and woe be gones
Feel no shame it won't be long
Yeah

I beg you listen with an open heart
You so so cruelly judged
Forgive us our trespasses
Were taught to us because
We were raised by people
Just like you and so
When the world falls down around us
It'll be to you I go
It'll be to you we all come runnin'

Ne'er do wells and woe be gones
Show your face for we were wrong
Ne'er do wells and woe be gones
Feel no shame it won't be long
