Which is the way he wants it

N' I don't like it any more than you men.

Look at your young men fighting

Look at your women crying

My hands are tied

The billions shift from side to side
数以万计的人们流离失所
And the wars go on with brainwashed pride
战争仍在持续,而我们被洗脑
For the love of God and our human rights
以上帝之爱和人权之名
And all these things are swept aside
用那沾满鲜血的双手
By bloody hands time can't deny
横扫一切,没有什么能逃脱
And are washed away by your genocide
它轻轻松松就洗去了大屠杀的罪恶血迹
And history hides the lies of our civil wars
而历史藏匿了战争的谎言
D'you wear a black armband
你是否带上了黑袖章
When they shot the man
当他们枪杀了那个男人
Who said "Peace could last forever"
那个高喊“和平将永存”的男人
And in my first memories
在我最初的记忆里
They shot Kennedy
他们就这样刺杀了肯尼迪
I went numb when I learned to see
而在我学着看清世事时开始麻木不仁
So I never fell for Vietnam
所以我从未去到越南
We got the wall of D.C. to remind us all
华盛顿的纪念墙时时都在提醒我们
That you can't trust freedom
你绝不能相信自由这种东西
When it's not in your hands
它非你所能掌控
When everybody's fightin
当所有人都为他们的应许之地战斗时
And I don't need your civil war
我不需要你们的战争
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor
它喂肥了富人,却埋葬了穷人
Your power hungry sellin' soldiers
那些在食品店里被出卖的士兵们
In a human grocery storeAin't that fresh
不过只是在满足你贪婪的权欲 肉很新鲜吧?
I don't need your civil war

But still the wars go on as the years go by
然而时间流逝,战争仍在继续
With no love of God or human rights
再也没有什么上帝之爱和人权之名
Cause all these dreams are swept aside by bloody hands of the hypnotized
那些施了催眠术,沾满鲜血的双手 已将这些美梦一扫而空
Who carry the cross of homicide
是谁为杀戮者戴上圣洁的十字架
And history bears the scars of our civil wars
而历史独自容忍了内战的创伤
We practice selective annihilation of mayors
(独白)我们来做个试验吧
For example government officials to create a vacuum
比如选择性地迁灭那些市长和政府官员
Then we fill that vacuum
然后由我们去填补权力的真空
As popular war advances
使战争进一步获得民心
Peace is closer
那和平就会临近了
乐曲背景:
作为一首反战的歌曲,指出一切战争都是”内战”:喂肥了富人,送葬了穷人。
歌词中引用了刺杀美国肯尼迪总统的重大事件,反映出作词者的反战情绪。
同样这首歌也是枪花的著名代表作之一。
