Any chimp can play human for a day
And use his opposable thumbs to iron his uniform;
And run for office on election day;
And fancy himself a real decision maker,
Then deploy more troops than salt in a shaker.
But it's a jungle when war is made,
And you'll panic and throw your own shit at the enemy.
The camera pulls back to reveal your true identity.
Look, it's a sheep in wolf's clothing,
A smoking gun holding ape.
任何一隻黑猩猩都能假扮人類一整天
用牠相對稱的手指來燙牠的制服
還能在選舉的時候出來參與競選
把自己說成一個能做好決策的人
他們送去戰場的人,比沙漏裏頭的沙還多
但是戰場就是叢林
你會驚慌失措,亂丟東西到敵人身上
隨著攝影機慢慢後退,你暴露了你的真實身分
看吧,這是一隻豺狼穿著綿羊的皮
一隻拿著手槍的黑猩猩
Any asshole can open up a museum;
Put all of the things he loves on display
So everyone can see them.
The house, the car, a thoughtful wife;
Ordinary moments in his ordinary life.
But if she blinks or smiles, she'll give you away;
'Cause no one wants to pay to see her happiness.
No one wants to pay to see her day to day
And i'm not buying it either,
But i'll try selling it anyway.
任何一個混帳都可以開一家博物館
把他喜歡的東西通通拿過來展覽
每個人都可以看看
房子,車子,貼心的老婆
每個平常生活的平常片刻,都可以拿出來現
但是當她眨眼或微笑,她會讓你露餡
因為沒人想要付錢看她的幸福
沒人想要付錢來看她的日常生活一舉一動
我也不想付費入場
不過真要的話我還是願意試著拿她來賺錢
Any idiot can play greek for a day
And join a sorority or write a tragedy;
And articulate all that pain,
And maybe you'll get paid.
But it's a sin when success complains,
And your writers block- it don't mean shit.
Just throw it against the wall and see what sticks.
Gotta write a hit - i think this is it.
任何一個白癡都可以假扮希臘人一整天
參加聯誼會或者寫一齣悲劇
沉思所有的苦痛
然後或許你會因此賺到一筆錢
但是成功者的埋怨是一種罪過
而你身為作家的撞牆期,關我屁事
把它丟到牆上,看會不會黏在上面好了
我要寫一首暢銷曲,這就是了
It's a hit.
這是一首暢銷曲
And if it's not,
Then it's a holiday for a hanging,
Yeah it's a holiday for hanging
Yeah it's a holiday for hanging, yeah
Shoo-bop-shoo-bop my baby
如果不是
那它就是吊人的節日
對那它就是吊人的節日
那它就是吊人的節日
咻比嘟挖,我的寶貝
Any fool can play executioner for a day,
And say with fingers pointed in both directions
'He went that way,
It's only a switch or syringe,
I'm exempt from eternal sins...'
But you still wear a cross,
And you think you're gonna get in...
任何一個傻子都能扮演劊子手一整天
手指指向左右兩邊,他就這樣做了抉擇
「只是選擇藤條鞭打或者注射毒藥兩種懲罰」
「我免於承受永恆的罪過」
你竟然仍然戴著十字架
而且還相信自己會上天堂
Ah, but the pardons never come from upstairs;
They're always a moment too late,
But it's entertainment; keep the crowd on their toes,
It's justice, we're safe.
It's not a hit, it's a holiday.
Shoo-bop-shoo-bop my baby
唉,但是赦免的聖旨從來不曾從樓上傳來
他們總是來晚了半刻
但是這是娛樂事業嘛,就是要讓觀眾引頸以待
這就是正義,我們安全了
這不是暢銷曲,這是個節慶
咻比嘟挖,我的寶貝
It's a holiday for hanging, yeah
It's a holiday for hanging, yeah
It's a holiday for hanging, yeah
It's a holiday for hanging, yeah
I'm a holiday for hanging,
I'm a holiday for hanging,
I'm a holiday yeah
I'm a holiday for hanging,
It's a holiday for hanging, yeah
