歌词
Will someone please say the unsayable?
请问，有谁能说些大逆不道的话么？
Will someone please tell me I'm wrong?
又有谁能指出我的错误？
I live every day like a sad beast of prey
比如我活着的每一天，都像个捕猎的悲哀野兽
For I have to appear to be strong
因为我和它们一样，必须随时随地彰显强大
And that's wrong
但那并不是事实
I'm too weak to be strong
我的内心远比外表脆弱
再比如今天我会见了将军
Today I met with the generals
以及我秘密警察的首领
And the head of my secret police
我们商讨了关于阴谋集团的事宜
Discussing conspiracies and prison facilities
以及如何监禁那些我永不能释放的敌人们
For opponents I can never release
但其实这个世间将永无和平
And there'll be no peace
如果他们真的无法重见天日的话
Until they're released
另一方面，当然我早已与军队联合
事实上我并没有什么选择的余地
Of course I'm in league with the army
他们表明了推崇我的官方立场，在那之前他们如此支持的是我的父亲
It's not like I've got any choice
但枪口传来的响声如此坚定
They officially adore me and my father before me
可笑的是我甚至不是个煽动家
But gunpoint has a firm voice
难道你听说过我做演讲么？
我的真相都是虚构
The joke is I'm not even a demagogue
我的声音无比疯狂
Have you heard me giving a speech?
轻信我的话，信仰将会沦为乞讨者
My facts are invented
所以不用再做任何演讲这件事，真是如释重负
I sound quite demented
我想再问一次，有谁能说些不可能的事？
So deluded it beggars belief
比如人群应该无家可归，露宿街头
It would be such a relief not to give another speech
比如我再也不想威胁或杀人了
比如你将易如反掌地击败我
Can someone please say the impossible?
比如我遇见任何抵抗
Crowds should be out on the street
二话不说就会撤退
I've lost any will to threaten or kill
又或者我宁可你当时没有射杀我
I'll be easy for you to defeat
但如果你真的做了我也很能理解
And any resistance I meet
但小心着点军队吧
I'll beat a retreat
将军一想起收购行动
估计会发狂
I'd rather that you didn't shoot me
噢对了，最后请问，
But I'd quite understand if you did
有谁能带我脱离苦海吗？
Watch out for the army
我这个悲哀的迟暮的独裁者
The generals will go barmy
早晚都会消失，还给你自由的
At the thought of a takeover bid
但如果你能摆脱我
我们就都能自由了
Oh please will somebody put me
Out of my misery?
This sad old dictator must sooner or later
Flee so that you can be free
If you get rid of me
We can all be free
