歌词
The Roots feat. Monsters Of Folk - Dear God 2.0
翻译@OURDEN 鱿鱼暮良
亲爱的上帝啊 我正在努力接近你
Dear God, I'm trying hard to reach you
我的天父 无论我在做什么 眼前总浮现你的身影
Dear God, I see your face in all I do
有时候 我很难去相信⋯⋯
Sometimes, it's so hard to believe it...
但是上帝 我知道你有你的原因
But God, I know you have your reasons
天使们说他很忙 你只管继续祈祷就行
叫我疯子吧 我想祈祷没用 反正上帝可以读心
(Uh huh)They said he's busy, hold the line please
说到底我们还不过是被盲者引领？
Call me crazy, I thought maybe he could mind read
好歹给我一点指引
Who does the blind lead?
如果世上一切都是中国制造 难道我们是中国子民？
Show me a sign please
为什么那些混账要把我们当做暹罗连体人一样分离？
If everything is made in China, are we Chinese?
那些科技 切断了人类之间的联系 这个星球到处是肉走尸行
And why do haters separate us like we siamese?
大家都对流言蜚语乐此不疲
Technology turning the planet into zombies
却毫不在意那些地震 飓风 海啸 酸雨
Everybody all in everybody's dirty laundry
恐怖分子 犯罪狂魔 劫掠和袭击
Acid rain, earthquakes, hurricane, tsunamis,
警察们只会叫嚣“给我站住”
terrorist, crime sprees, assaults, and robberies
随意扣动扳机草菅人命
Cops yelling stop, freeze
空气污浊不堪 每一次呼吸都让我痛心
Shoot him before he try to leave
物种消亡
Air quality so foul, I gotta try to breath
树木不再
Endangered species
对于这些惨剧 我想说如果整个世界都在我掌心
And we runnin' out of trees
也许我能处理得比你更好 上帝
所有目光聚焦在新一届的奖项提名
If I could hold the world in the palm of these
毫不在意那些战争和罪行
hands, I would probably do away with these anomalies
为何不关注一下贫穷的人民？！
Everybody checking for the new award nominee
无视那些关乎世界末日的预言
Wars and atrocities
嘴边仍残留着动物的血迹
Look at all the poverty
企业在垄断一切
Ignoring the prophecies
世界经济也越来越虚
More beef than broccoli
股市也崩溃了
Corporate monopoly
人们只能依赖大麻和镇静剂
Weak world economy
来控制自己的情绪
Stock market toppling
我一直在思考
Mad marijuana oxycotton and klonopin
我已经濒临崩溃
Everybody out of it?
得不到我渴求的答案
也许是我的思维太过越界
Well I've been thinking about
但倘若你对子民的爱普照大地
And I've been breaking it down
为什么我们还要忍受折磨？
Without an answer
为什么我们还要忍受折磨？
Yeah 还是我 你最疯狂的粉丝之一
I know I'm thinking out loud
我刚从工作中解脱
But if you're lost and around
马上又得开始下一项工作
Why do we suffer?
我也许需要去检验一下大脑能否正常运作
Why do we suffer?
看看Def Jam如何在他们的支付计划中凌辱我
Uh huh,
不过 我正处在一个娱乐至死的世界
Yeah... It's still me, one of your biggest fans
仍想用Singing Man的腔调 面对那些为正版买单的听众
I get off work
如果我如今不能做到 哪怕是一点点改变
Right back to work again
那么愿竖琴之清弦 天使之翅羽 祈祷之枯手
I probably need to go ahead and have my head exam
以及你，上帝 原谅我的过错
Look at how they got me on the Def Jam payment plan
原谅我随心所欲地出行 以及无视那些法院传票
Well, I'm in the world of entertainment and
我所做的一切 就是为了让有限的生命活到最长
trying to keep a singing man sane for the paying fans
我的父亲就是被他们用枪林弹雨送到你身边
If I don't make it through the night, slight change of plans
为什么在你创造的世界是如此世态炎凉
Harp strings, angel wings, and praying hands
为什么生活从头到尾都只是一场挣扎
Lord, forgive me for my shortcomings
对于大多数人来说生活依旧艰难
for going on tour and ignoring the court summons
虽然有人宣称天空才是他的极限
All I'm trying to do is live life to the fullest
当你受苦的时候 一秒仿佛延伸60倍 每一小时也如同无穷
They sent my daddy to you in a barrage of bullets
亲爱的上帝啊 我正在努力接近你
Why is the world ugly when you made it in your image?
我的天父 无论我在做什么 眼前总浮现你的身影
And why is livin' life such a fight to the finish?
有时候 我很难去相信⋯⋯
For this high percentage
When the sky's the limit
A second is a minute, every hour's infinite
Dear God, I'm trying hard to reach you
Dear God, I see your face in all I do
Sometimes, it's so hard to believe it...
