Le lyrisme de cette chanson et son cri d’alarme sont une des plus belles choses que j’ai entendue de l’Am\u00e9rique, en cette ann\u00e9e 2007, marqu\u00e9e par l’enfoncement aveugle des \u00c9tats-Unis en Irak et en Afghanistan.<\/p>\n

\u00ab\u00a0Going To A Town<\/a>\u00a0\u00bb <\/p>\n

de Rufus Wainwright<\/p>\n

I\u2019m going to a town that has already been burnt down,
\nI\u2019m going to a place that has already been disgraced,
\nI\u2019m gonna see some folks who have already been let down,
\nI\u2019m so tired of America<\/p>\n

I\u2019m gonna make it up for all of the Sunday Times,
\nI\u2019m gonna make it up for all of the nursery rhymes,
\nThey never really seem to want to tell the truth,
\nI\u2019m so tired of you, America<\/p>\n

Making my own way home, ain\u2019t gonna be alone,
\nI\u2019ve got a life to lead, America
\nI\u2019ve got a life to lead<\/p>\n

Tell me, do you really think you go to hell for having loved,
\nTell me, enough of thinking everything that you\u2019ve done is good,
\n(I really need to know), after soaking the body of Jesus Christ in blood,
\nI\u2019m so tired of America<\/p>\n

(I really need to know),
\nI may just never see you again, or might as well,
\nYou took advantage of a world that loved you well,
\nI\u2019m going to a town that has already been burnt down,
\nI\u2019m so tired of you, America<\/p>\n

Making my own way home, ain\u2019t gonna be alone,
\nI\u2019ve got a life to lead, America
\nI\u2019ve got a life to lead,
\nI got a soul to feed,
\nI got a dream to heed,<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s all I need,
\nMaking my own way home, ain\u2019t gonna be alone,
\nI\u2019m going to a town,
\nThat has already been burnt down<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
