歌词
Meet the son of a government man
偶然结识一个政府高官的儿子
And a pillar of salt
他开朗且趣味
I was born with blood on my hands
而我却生在一个平凡人家
And have all the signs of a bleeding heart
带着所有平凡之人的标签
心中充满着自私与贪婪
Living high on a giant hog
高调行事 抢尽风头
On a mountain so steep
思想中填满着虚伪
Keep your head in a hollow log
大脑被茫然支配到近于谄媚
As the ruling fog are about to creep
为什么会变成这样 ?
我怎会活的如此虚假 ?
What have we done?
迷茫在人生最多难的时刻
How'd we get so far from the sun?
一个微小的细节就能振奋我心的时刻
Lost, lost in an oscillating phase
幻想逃离现实的压迫
Where a tiny few catch all of the rays
来到一个理想之国
再不用为生活烦恼
Out beyond the western squalls
也不用为生计付心
In an alien land
把自己的未来安排妥当
They work for nothing at all
心之所向 随心所欲
They don't know the mall or the layaway plan
但是这些醉人的画面
没有那么容易去实现
Dig yourself a beautiful grave
我们没有什么资格向生活要价
Everything you could want
抛弃现有的一切代价过于巨大
Maybe those invisible slaves
繁忙的工作终于告一段落
Are too far away for a ghost to haunt
才发觉已无行乐之时
我们只能学会接受这一切
What will we charge?
没有什么方法能终结这种循环
Letting go of a claim so large
抛下虚伪 真实的生活
Oh, all of our working days are done
我们再也不会说出华丽的谎言
But a tiny few are having all of the fun
再也不会说出光鲜的词语
只有依靠自己的勤奋
Get used to their dust in your lungs
去洗涮掉沾染在自己身上的污迹
摘下面具 接受真实
Is there no way down
也许我们能找到一条穿越现实的道路
From this peak to solid ground
人们没有什么资格向生活要价
Without having our gold teeth
抛弃现有的一切代价过于巨大
Pulled from our mouths?
繁忙的工作终于告一段落
才发觉已无行乐之时
Make me a drink strong enough
不要去计较无谓的挑衅与诋毁
To wash away this dishwater world they said was lemonade
我们只能学会接受这一切
Walk with me after the show
Maybe we can find a way through the minefield in the snow
What will they charge?
Letting go of a claim so large
Oh, all of our working days are done
But a tiny few are having all of the fun
Apologies to the sick and the young
Get used to their dust in your lungs
