歌词
编曲 : Neil Young
警察摊牌了
Well, the cop made the showdown
他确信自己是对的
He was sure he was right
他知道所有的内幕
He had all of the lowdown
昨晚抢劫银行的人
From the bank heist last night
他最好的朋友就是那个强盗
His best friend was the robber
他的妻子也是个小偷
And his wife was a thief
所有的孩子都是杀手
All the children were killers
他们不可能得以逃脱
They couldn't get no relief
小屋被包围了
The bungalow was surrounded
这时一个声音响亮而清晰
When a voice loud and clear
说，举起你的手出来
Said, Come on out with your hands up
不然我们就把你轰出去。
Or we'll blow you out of here.
窗户上有一张脸
There was a face in the window
电视摄像机转动着
The TV cameras rolled
然后他们切换到了播音员
Then they cut to the announcer
他讲述了一个故事
And the story was told.
艺术家凝视着制作人
The artist looked at the producer
制片人坐了下来
The producer sat back
他说，我们这里有什么
He said, What we have got here
有一个完美的轨道
Is a perfect track
但是我们静默无声
But we don't have a vocal
我们没有歌可唱
And we don't have a song
如果我们能完成这样的事情
If we could get these things accomplished
那并不会是一个错误
Nothin' else could go wrong.
于是他扶正了烟灰缸
So he balanced the ashtray
然后拿起电话
As he picked up the phone
说，给我找个作曲家
And said, Send me a songwriter
是谁远离了家乡
Who's drifted far from home
的确他饥肠辘辘
And make sure that he's hungry
的确他孑然一身
Make sure he's alone
给我一个芝士汉堡
Send me a cheeseburger
还有一个新的滚石乐队。
And a new Rolling Stone.
是的。
Yeah.
这个城市仍然有犯罪
There's still crime in the city,
巡警说
Said the cop on the beat,
我不知道我能不能阻止
I don't know if I can stop it
我就像街上的行尸走肉
I feel like meat on the street
他们把我的车当做成靶子
They paint my car like a target
我只能听一些傻瓜的命令
I take my orders from fools
与此同时，一个孩子打爆了我的脑袋
Meanwhile some kid blows my head off
好吧，我只能按规矩办事
Well, I play by their rules
这就是为什么我要用我的方式
That's why I'm doin' it my way
我把法律掌握在自己手中
I took the law in my hands
所以我出现在小巷里
So here I am in the alleyway
口袋里有一大叠钞票
A wad of cash in my pants
我的boss是一个十岁的孩子
I get paid by a ten year old
他说他很尊敬我
He says he looks up to me
这个城市仍然有犯罪
There's still crime in the city
但这样会很自由
But it's good to be free.
是的。
Yeah.
现在我来自一个家庭
Now I come from a family
那是一个破碎的家庭
That has a broken home
有时我会和爸爸聊天
Sometimes I talk to Daddy
但只能在电话里
On the telephone
他会说他爱我
When he says that he loves me
我知道他爱我
I know that he does
但我希望能见到他
But I wish I could see him
真想知道他到底在哪里
I wish I knew where he was
但我所有的朋友都是这样的
But that's the way all my friends are
除了一两个
Except maybe one or two
真希望这周末能见到他
Wish I could see him this weekend
真希望我能站在他的立场上
Wish I could walk in his shoes
但现在我有自己的事情要做
But now I'm doin' my own thing
有时我是好人，有时我是坏人
Sometimes I'm good, then I'm bad
虽然我的家已经破碎
Although my home has been broken
但也是我拥有过最好的家
It's the best home I ever had
是的。
Yeah.
好吧，我变得越来越年轻
Well, I keep gettin' younger
我的生活一直很有趣
My life's been funny that way
在我学会说话之前
Before I ever learned to talk
我忘了说什么了
I forgot what to say
我和我妈妈斗嘴
I sassed back to my mom
我对老师辱骂
I sassed back to my teacher
我被圣经学校开除
I got thrown out of Bible school
因为我骂了牧师
For sassin' back at the preacher
后来我成了一名消防员
Then I grew up to be a fireman
扑灭了镇上的每一场大火
Put out every fire in town
扑灭所有冒烟的东西
Put out anything smokin'
可当我放下水管的时候
But when I put the hose down
法官把我送进了监狱
The judge sent me to prison
他判我无期徒刑，不得假释
He gave me life without parole
真希望我从没放下水管
Wish I never put the hose down
真希望我永远不会变老
Wish I never got old
