Barbra Streisand ：Don’t Lie To Me.
她決定將她對美國當代的現象，她的政治信念，寫進新歌。
2018年，Barbra Streisand released a new, very politically focused song: "Don't Lie to Me."
Sonically, the song is a grand, lush and heavily orchestrated affair that's very much in the spirit of much of her catalog; lyrically, however, Streisand is pointed — and not subtle. "You can build towers of bronze and gold," she sings. "You can make castles in the sky. You can use smoke and mirrors and old cliches ... don't lie to me." In the chorus, she brings it home: "How do you sleep when the world keeps turning? / All that we built has come undone / How do you sleep when the world is burning?"
In an interview published Thursday by Billboard, the singer, songwriter, actress, director and film producer said that she felt that it was time to put her political beliefs into her music. "I've written many articles about this ... this person ... who has no manners, insults everybody, makes fun of disabled people," Billboard quotes her as saying. "I don't know what to say, I've written like 15 Huffington Post pieces ... what else could I think about? It's my protest, in a sense, about this unprecedented time in our history."
*歌詞：
Why can you just tell me the truth?
Hard to believe the things you say
Why can't you feel the tears I cried today, cried today, cried today
How do you win if we all lose?
You change the facts to justify
Your lips move but your words get in the way, in the way, in the way
Kings and Queens, crooks and thieves
You don't see the forest for the trees
Head and heart on our knees
You can't see what we all see
How do you sleep when the world keeps turning?
All that we built has come undone
How do you sleep when the world is burning?
Everyone answers to someone
Don't lie to me, don't lie to me, you lie to me
Don't lie to me, don't lie to me, you lie to me
You can build towers of bronze and gold
You can build castles in the sky
You can use smoke and mirrors, old clichés
Not today, not today
Kings and Queens, crooks and thieves
You don't see the forest for the trees
Hand on heart, down our knees
You can't see what everyone sees
How do you sleep when the world keeps turning?
All that we built has come undone
How do you sleep when the world is burning?
Everyone answers to someone
Don't lie to me, don't lie to me, you lie to me
Don't lie to me, don't lie to me, you lie to me
Can't you see I'm crying?
Can't you see we're crying?
Where's the new horizon?
Where's the new horizon?
How do you sleep?
How do you sleep?
How do you sleep?
(How do you sleep when the world is turning?)
How do you sleep?
(All that we built has come undone)
Enough is enough
(How do you sleep when the world is burning?)
How do you sleep?
(Everyone answers to someone)
Don't lie to me, don't lie to me, you lie to me
Don't lie to me, don't lie to me, you lie to me
Can't you see I'm crying?
(Can't you see we're crying?)
Can't you see we're crying?
Everyone answers to someone
