歌词
I don't do it for the money
我做歌手不是为了金钱
I don't do it for the fame
不是为了名气
I don't do it so I can see the bright lights
不是为了能在剧院的广告牌上
Spell out my name
看到我的名字
But I'd be lyin' if I said I didn't wanna hear my songs
但如果我说我不想在点唱机里看到我的歌
On a jukebox in a jukebox kinda bar
那我肯定是在撒谎
Guess I'm just another soldier
所以我也就是个正打着
Fightin' a war of art
这艺术之战的普通士兵
And I love the pretty girls and how they sway
我当然乐意看到漂亮的女孩们
In rhythm when I play
伴随着我的琴声摇摆
And I'll take a free cold beer everytime
每次上台时舞台上免费的冰啤
They set one on a stage
我都会捎一瓶
And if that was the only reason why I do it
但如果这些就是我做歌手的原因
Then why I do it wouldn't get me very far
那我肯定走不了多远
I guess you can't pick your battles
所以我想 在这场艺术之战里
When you fight the war of art
我没有资格选哪场战役去打
It's hard to shine in a sky full of stars
在这漫天繁星之中 你很难成为最耀眼的那颗
Still be who you are
也很难保持自己原来的模样
When you fight the war of art
这就是你在打艺术之战时的状态
If a bullet was a song, and this guitar was a gun
如果一首歌是一颗子弹 这把吉他是一杆步枪
I'd knock 'em dead
那么我能冲锋陷阵 消灭一切敌人
Most nights it feels like I'm the one
但结果就是无数个我孤单一人的夜晚
Up here bleedin' red
看着遍体鳞伤的自己
And I ain't tryin' to hurt nobody, I'm just hopin' that my broken
我也不是想去伤害谁 只是希望我的伤口
Puts some hope in another broken heart
能给另一个心碎的人 一点安慰一点希望
Yeah, I'm just another soldier
是啊 我也就是个正打着
Fightin' a war of art
这艺术之战的普通士兵
It's hard to shine in a sky full of stars
在这漫天繁星之中 你很难成为最耀眼的那颗
Still be who you are
也很难保持自己原来的模样
When you fight the war of art
这就是你在打艺术之战时的状态
I don't do it for the money
这不是为了金钱
I don't do it for the fame
也不是为了名气
