Passion Play When All The Slaves Are Free

Joni Mitchell

Transposer:

[Intro] [Verse 1] Magdalene is trembling Like a washing on a line Trembling and gleaming Never before was a man so kind Never so redeeming [Chorus 1] Enter the multitudes In Exxon blue In radiation rose Ecstasy Now you tell me Who you gonna get to do the dirty work When all the slaves are free? (Who’re you gonna get) [Verse 2] I am up a sycamore Looking through the leaves A sinner of some position Who in the world can this heart healer be This magical physician [Chorus 2] Enter the multitudes In Exxon blue In radiation rose Misery Now you tell me Who you gonna get to do the dirty work When all the slaves are free? (Who’re you gonna get) [Refrain] Enter the multitudes The walking wounded They come to this diver of the heart Of the multitudes Thy kingdom come Thy will be done [Verse 3] Oh climb down climb down he says to me From the middle of unrest They think is light is squandered But he sees a stray in the wilderness And I see how far I’ve wandered [Chorus 3] Enter the multitudes In Exxon blue In radiation rose Apathy Now you tell me Who you gonna get to do the dirty work When all the slaves are free? (Who’re you gonna get) [Refrain] Enter the multitudes The walking wounded They come to this diver of the heart Of the multitudes Thy kingdom come Thy will be done [Verse 4] Oh all around the marketplace The buzzing of the flies The buzzing and the stinging Divinely barren And wickedly wise The killer nails are ringing [Chorus 4] Enter the multitudes In Exxon blue In radiation rose Tragedy Now you tell me Who you gonna get to do the dirty work When all the slaves are free? (Who’re you gonna get)

La chanson évoque une quête spirituelle et une réflexion sur la souffrance et l'espoir. On y parle d'une figure qui incarne la bonté et la guérison, tout en interrogeant le sens du travail et des luttes dans un monde où la liberté semble enfin à portée de main. Elle souligne les contradictions de notre société moderne, où l'apathie et la misère coexistent avec une quête de rédemption. Les multiples voix qui se manifestent symbolisent la douleur collective, mais aussi le désir de transcender cette souffrance. C'est une belle métaphore sur notre condition humaine, sur le besoin de compassion et le chemin vers une véritable liberté.
