歌词
The comedy of man starts like this
人间喜剧大概是这样开始的
Our brains are way too big for our mothers' hips
我们的梦想对于母亲的髋部来说或许太大了
And so Nature, she divines this alternative
但母亲们却与生俱来的接受了这神圣的选择
We emerged half-formed and hope that whoever greets us on the other end
当我们的身体逐渐成型，便开始希冀着在另一端迎接我们的人
Is kind enough to fill us in
能够归化我们无限的贪婪与欲望
And, babies, that's pretty much how it's been ever since
当他们成长为婴孩，故事差不多会这样发展下去
Now the miracle of birth leaves a few issues to address
现在，诞生的奇迹遗留下了些许等待解决的问题
Like, say, that half of us are periodically iron deficient
比如说我们之中的一半会定期性的缺铁
So somebody's got to go kill something while I look after the kids
为了弥补它们，一定有什么东西被牺牲了
I'd do it myself, but what, are you going to get this thing its milk?
是我亲自动的手又怎样，不然你难道要我把这个东西当作牛奶么
He says as soon as he gets back from the hunt, we can switch
他保证会很快从狩猎场回来，那时我们就可以互换这残酷的角色了
It's hard not to fall in love with something so helpless
还是很难不去同情如此无助的东西啊
Ladies, I hope we don't end up regretting this
女士们，希望我们不要为此后悔
Comedy, now that's what I call pure comedy
多么讽刺，这就是我说的纯粹喜剧
Just waiting until the part where they start to believe
只需要等到人们开始笃信的那一刻
They're at the center of everything
认清原来自己才是这场喜剧的主角
And some all powerful being endowed this horror show with meaning
某些强大的 存在资助这荒谬的畸形秀予意义
Oh, their religions are the best
哦，他们的宗教当然是最好的了
They worship themselves yet they're totally obsessed
他们竟然还崇拜自己，甚至近乎于迷恋于
With risen zombies, celestial virgins, magic tricks, these unbelievable outfits
那些复活的僵尸，天上的处女，魔术把戏，和浮夸到令人难以置信的戏服
And they get terribly upset
他们对此非常恼火
When you question their sacred texts
当你质疑他们的神圣教义时
Written by woman-hating epileptics
以上控诉都是来自一个憎恨女性的癫痫症患者
Their languages just serve to confuse them
他们的语言只是用来迷惑众生
Their confusion somehow makes them more sure
他们的困惑只会令他们更加确信
They build fortunes poisoning their offspring
他们创造财富去毒害他们的后代
And hand out prizes when someone patents the cure
双手奉上为专利与版权定制的奖赏
Where did they find these goons they elected to rule them?
他们是从哪找到这些被推选出来奴役他们的暴徒的
What makes these clowns they idolize so remarkable?
是什么让这些小丑被如此隆重的崇拜
These mammals are hell-bent on fashioning new gods
这些哺乳动物非常热衷于创造新的神明
So they can go on being godless animals
所以他们可以继续做不敬神的动物
Oh comedy, their illusions they have no choice but to believe
喜剧演员们暗示自己除了接受现实之外别无选择
Their horizons that just forever recede
他们的视野逐渐狭窄直到消失不见
And how's this for irony, their idea of being free is a prison of beliefs
更讽刺的是，自由甚至为信仰上了重重枷锁
That they never ever have to leave
而他们竟也乐在其中
Oh comedy, oh it's like something that a madman would conceive!
多么精彩的一出喜剧，就好像是最疯狂的疯子创作的一样
The only thing that seems to make them feel alive is the struggle to survive
唯一能让他们觉得自己还活着的事，或许只是为了生存而做出的挣扎
But the only thing that they request is something to numb the pain with
但是他们唯一要求的是用一些东西来麻痹疼痛
Until there's nothing human left
就这样直到一最后个人都不存在
Just random matter suspended in the dark
只留下随意悬浮在黑暗中的物质
I hate to say it, but each other's all we got
我不想这样说，但我们只有彼此了
