War All The Time

歌词
Standing on the edge of the
站在悬崖峭壁边缘的
Palisades' cliffs
木栅栏上
In the shadow of the skyline very far away
在广袤无垠的天际线下
Like a lightning rod that couldn't pull the storm from me
如同一根避雷针,使我无法走出暴风之中
I was 5 years old, my best friend's older brother died
我五岁那年,我最好的朋友的哥哥死了
He fell from these cliffs
他就从这里摔下去
The river washed him away, the current pulled him downstream
河流将他带走,水流把他带到下流
And our lives float in the headlines, so we park these cars
于是我们的生活也浮到了每天报纸新闻的版面上,于是我们便把车停在了父母的车库里
Parent's garage listen to the lullaby
听着永不醒来的歌谣
Of carbon monoxide
做着窒息的梦
War all of the time
战争,无时无刻
In the shadow of the
就在纽约天空之下
New York skyline
无尽的黑暗里
We grew up too fast, falling apart
我们成长得太快,我们支离破碎
Like the ashes of
如同星条旗
American flags
在空中化成的灰烬一般
If the sun doesn't rise
如果太阳不再升起
We'll replace it with an
那么我们将会
H-bomb explosion
用氢弹的爆炸出的五彩斑斓的空中监狱
A painted jail cell of light in the sky
去代替它
Like three mile island nightmares
如同三哩岛的梦魇(注:指1979.3.28核泄漏)
On TVs that sing us to sleep
在电视机上唱着歌哄我们入睡
They burn on and on like an oil field
它们像油田一样不停燃烧
Or a memory of what it felt like
抑或是,像回忆当时的感觉一样
To burn on and on and not just fade away
它们不停燃烧,却永不消逝
All those nights in the basement
那些过去的每个夜晚的地下室里
The kids are still screaming
孩子们还是一直哭喊着
On and on and on and on
就一直这样下去
War all of the time
战争,永不停歇
In the shadow of the
就在纽约天空之下
New York skyline
无尽的黑暗里
We grew up too fast, falling apart
我们不愿长大,我们分崩离析
Like the ashes of
如同星条旗
American flags
在空中化成的灰烬一般
And we're blowing in the wind
我们随风漂泊,居无定所
We don't know where to land
不知何处小憩,何处落脚,何处是家乡
So we kiss like little kids
所以我们像无瑕的孩子一样亲吻
We used to be very tall buildings
心有高塔
We've been falling for so long
轰然倾颓
Now your eyes are a sign on the edge of town
而现在你的眼睛正是城镇边缘的标志
They offer a welcome when you are leaving
出征之日,他们为你送上祝福
War all of the time
战争,一直都在
In the shadow of the
就在纽约天空之下
New York skyline
无尽的黑暗里
We grew up too fast, falling apart
我们孤芳自赏,我们茕茕孑立
Like the ashes of
如同星条旗
American flags
在空中化成的灰烬一般
The pieces fall it's like a last day parade
欠片飘落,如同末日游行
And the fires in our streets start to rage
我们街道上的火焰也开始燃烧
So wave to those people who long to wave back
所以对着那些一直挥手的人表示敬意
From the fabric of a flag that sang, "Love all of the time"
从那面写着“爱,永不停息”的旗子上
War all the time, war all the time
战争,一直都在
All of the time
依旧如斯
War all the time, war all the time
和平还没有走来
All of the time, all of the time
至少现在还是这样
War all of the time, war all of the time
恶魔一直都在
War all of the time, war all of the time
希望还没有到来
