Is it love you're after?

你所追逐信仰的可否就是爱

A sign of the flood or one more disaster?

Don't do to me what you did to America

请不要在我的身上重蹈美利坚的覆辙

Don't do to me what you did to America

I have traded my life for a picture of the scenery

Don't do to me what you did to America

Don't do to me what you did to America

请不要在我的身上重蹈美利坚的覆辙

I give it all up in laughter

在笑声里我将一切抛下

The sign of the cross awaiting disaster

转角处等候的灾难已发来警告

The dove flew to me like a vision of paranoia

Like a dream

I have kissed your lips like Judas in heat

我曾如烈火中的犹大吻过你那炽热的双唇 <Judas亲吻了耶稣的脸颊为记号才让罗马政府捉拿了耶稣出自Matt. 26:47-50 & Mark 14:43-45>

I have worshiped

But I will find my way like Judas in heat

我就如光带来的火热

In the land of opportunity

在这片机遇丛生的大陆上
