Adlai Stevenson Songtext
von Sufjan Stevens

Righteous men of the earth
Oh, have you been patients
I suppose our thoughts about United Nations

Adlai, Adlai
What did you say?
And what is the answer?

Adlai, Adlai
What did he say?
And what is the answer?


1952, the heart was not your master
The accident you threw
Would carry through your laughter

Evidence, evidence
I′ve heard of it
And what is the answer?

Evidence, evidence
I've heard of it
And what is the answer?

Adlai, Adlai
Your holiday
The greatest of men, sir


Adlai, Adlai
What did you say?
And what is the answer?
