- Adlai Stevenson Lyrics / with translationsRighteous 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 with 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
[Incomprehensible]
And where is your answer?

What did you say
And what is the answer?
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 with your laughter
I've heard of it
And what is the answer?
Evidence, evidence
I've heard of it
And what is the answer?
Adlai, Adlai
[Incomprehensible]
And where is your answer?
Adlai, Adlai
What did you say
And what is the answer?
