Institution Green

Institution Green - Suzanne Vega (蘇珊·薇格)

Written by：Anton Sanko/Suzanne Vega

Institution green

The walls are cracked and dim

And we are standing in a line

Waiting for our faces to be seen

Institution green

Watch the floor and cound the hours

None will meet my eyes

Private people in this public place

I wonder if they'll take a look

Find my name inside that book

Lose me on the printed page

Where to point the aimless rage

I cast my vote upon this earth

Take my place for what it's worth

Hunger for a pair of eyes

To notice and to regognize

Institution green

A woman stands behind a table

She will call my name

After that I'll be admitted in

Wonder if she'll take a look

Find my name inside that book

Lose me on the printed page

Where to point the aimless rage

I cast my vote upon this earth

Take my place for what it's worth

Hunger for a pair of eyes

To notice and to regognize

Institution green

Teach me how to pull the lever

Push the curtain closed

Take what's needed then just

Let me go

Take what's needed then just

Let me go

Take what's needed then just

Let me go

Just let me go

Just let me go
