歌词
Lenny Bruce
兰尼·布鲁斯
兰尼·布鲁斯虽已长眠，但他的灵魂仍在这世间徘徊
Lenny bruce is dead but his ghost lives on and on
没得过金球奖，没战胜毒瘾
Never did get any golden globe award, never made it to synanon.
他是个不法之徒，我确信这一点
He was an outlaw, that's for sure,
他比你做过的坏事可多
More of an outlaw than you ever were.
兰尼·布鲁斯虽已逝去，但他的精神永存
Lenny bruce is gone but his spirit's livin' on and on.
也许他有些毛病，也许他无法解决
但他有个有趣的灵魂，他敢于说真话，他知道自己都说了些什么
Maybe he had some problems, maybe some things that he couldn't work out
他讲着：从未抢劫过教堂，也从未砍掉婴儿的头
But he sure was funny and he sure told the truth and he knew what he was talkin'
他把普通百姓带到高级阶层，并点亮他们的明灯
About. never robbed any churches nor cut off any babies' heads,
他在海岸的另一边，他已放弃生的希望
He just took the folks in high places and he shined a light in their beds.
兰尼·布鲁斯虽已升天，但他没犯下过任何罪名
He's on some other shore, he didn't wanna live anymore.
他洞察一切，能让人摘下帽子
我曾同他乘坐的士，虽只有不到二英里
Lenny bruce is dead but he didn't commit any crime
就像过了漫长岁月
He just had the insight to rip off the lid before its time.
兰尼·布鲁斯已放下包袱，就像置他于死地，他走了
I rode with him in a taxi once, only for a mile and a half,
他们说他很讨厌，因为他从不按常理出牌
Seemed like it took a couple of months.
他只是让当时的智者明白，他们不过是傻子
Lenny bruce moved on and like the ones that killed him, gone.
他们给他盖了章，贴了标签，就像用服装来定义他
他征战舞台，那里使他身败名裂
They said that he was sick 'cause he didn't play by the rules
兰尼·布鲁斯有点坏，他是你从未有过的兄弟
He just showed the wise men of his day to be nothing more than fools.
They stamped him and they labeled him like they do with pants and shirts,
He fought a war on a battlefield where every victory hurts.
Lenny bruce was bad, he was the brother that you never had.
