歌词
When I was just a little thing I used to love parades
当我是个小屁孩,最爱来
With banners, bands and red balloons and maybe lemonade
横幅标语红气球,柠檬饮料也会有
When I came home one Mayday my neighbours father said
五一回到家,邻居老爹把我吓
Them marchers is all commies tell me kid are you a red?
他们都是GCD,你真是“赤”佬?
Well, I didnt know just what he meant my hair back then was brown
我问大叔你说啥,明明我是棕头发
Our house was plain red brick like most others in the town
我家盖房用红砖,家家都是一个样
So I went and asked my mamma why our neighbour called me red
所以回家问亲妈,为何邻居把我吓
My mummy took me on her knee and this is what she said
亲妈抱我坐膝头,稍一沉思开了口
Well you ain't done nothin' if you ain't been called a red
没被叫过,你就不算革过命
If you've marched or agitated, you're bound to hear it said
你想或抗议,被骂赤佬那肯定
So you might as well ignore it, or love the word instead
要么学会无视它,不然你就爱上它
Cause you ain't been doin' nothin' if you ain't been called a red
因为没被叫过,你就不算革过命
When I was growin' up, had my troubles I suppose
我想长成大人物,没想吃了不少苦
When someone took exception to my face or to my clothes
成天被小人欺负,全因长相和衣服
Or tried to cheat me on a job or hit me on the head
工作时候欺骗我,没事喜欢打我头
When I organised to fight back why the stinkers called me red
当我组织去反抗,他们骂我
But you ain't done nothin' if you ain't been called a red
但是~没被叫过,你就不算革过命
If you've marched or agitated, you're bound to hear it said
你想或抗议,被骂赤佬那肯定
So you might as well ignore it, or love the word instead
要么学会无视它,不然你就爱上它
Cause you ain't been doin' nothin' if you ain't been called a red
因为没被叫过,你就不算革过命
When I was livin' on my own one apartment that I had
等我自己一个人,住在我的小公寓
Had a lousy rotten landlord let me tell ya he was bad
卑鄙差劲的房东,坏事做尽孙X川
But when he tried to throw me out I rubbed my hands and said
当他试图赶我走,我只笑着搓搓手
You haven't seen a struggle if you haven't fought a red!
我不打你得满脸桃花开,你就不知花儿为啥这样红
And you ain't done nothin' if you ain't been called a red
没被叫过,你就不算革过命
If you've marched or agitated, then you're bound to hear it said
你想或抗议,被骂赤佬那肯定
So you might as well ignore it, or love the word instead
要么学会无视它,不然你就爱上它
'Cause you ain't been doin' nothin' if you ain't been called a red
因为没被叫过,你就不算革过命
Well I kept on agitatin', cause what else can you do?
那我就继续反抗,不断迎难而上
You're gonna let the sons of ******* walk all over you
如果一朝犯懒惰,崽种憨憨环绕我
My friends said you'll get fired, hanging with that commie mob
朋友说我混,明天指定要下岗
I should be so lucky buddy, I ain't got a job
我说那我运气好,我就没有上过岗
And you ain't done nothin' if you ain't been called a red
没被叫过,你就不算革过命
If you've marched or agitated, then you're bound to hear it said
你想或抗议,被骂赤佬那肯定
So you might as well ignore it, or love the word instead
要么学会无视它,不然你就爱上它
Cause you ain't been doin' nothin' if you ain't been called a red
因为没被叫过,你就不算革过命
Well I've been agitatin' now for fifty years or more
如此反抗五十年
For jobs or for equality and always against war
为了就业和平等,并且永远反
I'll keep on agitatin' as far as I can see
我要再干五十年
And if that's what being red is then It's good enough for me
如果这就是赤佬,对我而言那最好
'Cause you ain't done nothin' if you ain't been called a red
没被叫过,你就不算革过命
If you've marched or agitated, then you're bound to hear it said
你想或抗议,被骂赤佬那肯定
So you might as well ignore it, or love the word instead
要么学会无视它,不然你就爱上它
Cause you ain't been doin' nothin' if you ain't been called a red
因为没被叫过,你就不算革过命
