Lyrics

0:00Endless Cycle (無線循環) (LP版) - Lou Reed (盧·裡德)
0:21The bias of the father runs on through the son
0:26Leaveing him bothered and bewildered
0:30The drugs in his veins only cause him to spit
0:35At the face staring back in the mirror
0:40How can he tell a good act from the bad
0:45He can't even remember his name
0:50How can he do what needs to be done
0:54When he's a follower not a leader
1:19The sickness of the mother runs on through the girl
1:24Leaving her small and helpless
1:28Liquor files through her brain with the force of a gun
1:34Leaving her running in circles
1:38How can she tell a good act from the bad
1:43When she's flat on her back in her room
1:48How can she do what needs to be done
1:53When she's a coward and a bleeder
2:40The man if he marries will batter his child
2:45And have endless excuses
2:50The woman sadly will do much the same
2:55Thinking that it's right and it's proper
2:59Better than their mommy or their daddy did
3:04Better than the childhood they suffered
3:09The truth is they're happier when they're in pain
3:14In fact that's why they got married
Endless Cycle (無線循環) (LP版) - Lou Reed (盧·裡德)
The bias of the father runs on through the son
Leaveing him bothered and bewildered
The drugs in his veins only cause him to spit
At the face staring back in the mirror
How can he tell a good act from the bad
He can't even remember his name
How can he do what needs to be done
When he's a follower not a leader
The sickness of the mother runs on through the girl
Leaving her small and helpless
Liquor files through her brain with the force of a gun
Leaving her running in circles
How can she tell a good act from the bad
When she's flat on her back in her room
How can she do what needs to be done
When she's a coward and a bleeder
The man if he marries will batter his child
And have endless excuses
The woman sadly will do much the same
Thinking that it's right and it's proper
Better than their mommy or their daddy did
Better than the childhood they suffered
The truth is they're happier when they're in pain
In fact  that's why they got married
