The Gang Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(相声独白)
2005年我认识的这个人
周末常混在北京的南城
他在茶馆里说他的相声
现在的他是最火的草根
床前明月光,疑似地上霜,举头望明月,我叫郭德纲
大伙是愿意听啊,是愿意听啊,是愿意听?我决不强求
这个世界真的奇妙
速溶咖啡比茶还要经泡
街上墨镜戴的不少
上过海选就带保镖
这个世界真太浮躁
唱不清歌词还火爆
名人争着原告被告
连馒头也幸免不掉
刚刚好
我没恶搞
刚刚好
我没恶搞
这事儿离现在不远,
家里有老人的可以回去问问--在春秋战国时期啊,
人来的不少,我很欣慰.
啊~~你不知道我?我艺术家啊!我都艺术家一个多礼拜了
如花pk了万人迷
海选very了柯以敏
大s恋上周渝民
李宇春长的不像姚明
奥斯卡请了章子怡
打官司火了个黄圣依
无极火了一个小网民
大侠挤爆了电视机
刚刚好
我烦不了
刚刚好
我烦不了
流氓会武术,谁也挡不住
这地上有一个人,天堂上就有一块表,
好人的表针儿转得慢,坏人的表针儿转得就快.
刘刚,你要看看你的表吗?
(刘刚说)想啊,我的表在哪呢?
哦――在上帝那屋当电扇呢
娱乐圈呆长了心慌
明星们都担心走光
狗仔队搞垮了情侣档
主持人最好港台腔
晚会基本都是假唱
爆红需要中性长相
过去流行他得嘻唰唰
混个脸熟春晚联唱
刚刚好
我没赶上
刚刚好
我没赶上
这小伙子长得,把脸挡上跟演员似的
有缺房的 有缺车的 有缺钱的 有缺德的
一毛钱一个的手榴弹,我先来1000块钱的炸你
法律要是不管我早打死他了
还有些什么 我们忘了纪念
还有什么我们没有经验
给一个断点
不敢再想从前
刚刚好
我没沾边
刚刚好
我没沾边
刚刚好




我没沾边
笑什么笑,再笑加钱
