"Alfonso Stands Answerable."

00:00:04.760 --> 00:00:09.690 align:middle line:84%
My people, you were really
something fucking fine

00:00:09.690 --> 00:00:12.590 align:middle line:84%
on the morning of
the first arrests:

00:00:12.590 --> 00:00:17.010 align:middle line:84%
our men, once frightened,
bound to their beds,

00:00:17.010 --> 00:00:20.760 align:middle line:90%
now stand up like human masts--

00:00:20.760 --> 00:00:24.690 align:middle line:84%
deafness passes through
us like a police whistle.

00:00:24.690 --> 00:00:25.430 align:middle line:90%
Here then I

00:00:25.430 --> 00:00:27.080 align:middle line:90%
testify:

00:00:27.080 --> 00:00:28.100 align:middle line:90%
each of us

00:00:28.100 --> 00:00:33.230 align:middle line:84%
comes home, shouts at a wall,
at a stove, a refrigerator,

00:00:33.230 --> 00:00:35.570 align:middle line:90%
at himself.

00:00:35.570 --> 00:00:37.580 align:middle line:90%
Forgive me, I

00:00:37.580 --> 00:00:39.830 align:middle line:90%
wasn't honest with you,

00:00:39.830 --> 00:00:41.450 align:middle line:90%
life--

00:00:41.450 --> 00:00:45.560 align:middle line:90%
to you I stand answerable.

00:00:45.560 --> 00:00:49.810 align:middle line:84%
I ran etcetera with my
legs and my hands etcetera

00:00:49.810 --> 00:00:52.620 align:middle line:84%
I run down Vasenka
Street etcetera--

00:00:52.620 --> 00:00:53.720 align:middle line:90%
Whoever listens:

00:00:53.720 --> 00:00:57.420 align:middle line:84%
thank you for the
feather on my tongue,

00:00:57.420 --> 00:01:03.270 align:middle line:84%
thank you for our argument that
ends, thank you for deafness,

00:01:03.270 --> 00:01:06.230 align:middle line:90%
Lord, such fire

00:01:06.230 --> 00:01:10.630 align:middle line:90%
from a match you never lit.

00:01:10.630 --> 00:01:13.000 align:middle line:90%
