Considering what the world is now

...

with all the misery

...

conflict

...

destructive brutality

...

aggression

...

and so on

...

man is still as you are

...

is still brutal

...

violent

...

aggressive

...

acquisitive

...

competitive

...

and he has built a society

...

along these lines

Microphone check, listen carefully

Microphone Check One 夠起耳朵聽真

We haven't fallen, our heads haven't been cut off

清晰嘅聲音向你腦袋進軍

As long as there's rule of law, we're still unafraid

生息嘅聲音向你腦袋進軍

Sometimes we have to step up to fight for justice

一直都知道自由係要捍衛

...

不惜一切就算我哋依然處於弱勢

But this song isn't about politics

奸商加狗官最叻係玩機制

Let me tell you, the more chaotic the world gets

事實擺在眼前就冇人玩乜嘢黑蒙藏

The more open-minded we need to be

強勢未倒下頭顱未被斬下

Come On

有法治一日我哋依然不怕

One, two, two fingers

迫不得已大量要出嚟伸張正義

The meaning is only about freedom

但係呢首歌嘅內容並無牽涉到政治

All fighters, none of them are that easy to handle

我話你知個世界愈係動盪

One, two, two fingers

我哋嘅思維就更加要懂得開放 Come On

The meaning is only about freedom

一二 兩隻手指

All fighters, none of them are that easy

二 就只有自由兩個字

Hold up your middle finger, it’s not as easy as you imagine

一 無所有嘅鬥士

I don't agree with everything you say

揸緊中指 咪你諗住容易

But I will defend it, even if it means dying with my eyes closed

一二 兩隻手指

I don’t believe in the so-called need for restraint

二 就只有自由兩個字

Justice will prevail, stability ranks above all

一 無所有嘅鬥士

We refuse to bow to money, we are not afraid to speak out

揸緊中指 咪你諗住容易

Seeing the wealthy shout the loudest, justice is about fighting against everything

我並應承同你講晒一切一切

Not afraid to expose falsehoods, warning this corrupt world

但我會捍衛 即使死不瞑閉

Won't feel lonely, fighting for freedom is worth it

並唔認為你所謂嘅需要克制

I know there’s no absolute right or wrong in the world

會帶嚟公平穩定壓倒一切

But let me tell you, I don’t need to take it personally

唔屈服於錢幣 唔怕俾佢照肺

I get angry, but no need to overreact

見權貴一樣照肺 正義係唔顧一切

Crap reporting, can’t be mistaken for taking a stance

唔怕揭穿虛偽 住渦繼續擎製

One, two, two fingers

唔會感到孤獨 為自由跋涉一世

The meaning is only about freedom

我知道世事有絕對嘅對與錯

All fighters, none of them are that easy

但係我哋你亦無需要對號入座

Raise your middle finger, it’s not as simple as you think

我憤怒你啲樣要大驚小怪

One, two, two fingers

亂咁報導 唔可以當做表態

The meaning is only about freedom

一二 兩隻手指

All fighters, none of them are that easy

二 就只有自由兩個字

Hold up your middle finger, it’s not as easy as you imagine

一 無所有嘅鬥士

...

揸緊中指 咪你諗住容易

Don’t give up, hold on till the end

你不要放棄堅持到尾

Compromise, the only ones who lose are you

自由要接棒 我哋要靠曬你哋

No matter the sacrifice, I hold up my middle finger

One 平等一個 Freedom

One equality, one freedom

不管犧牲幾多 揸緊中指我道你不知

Cannot tolerate why the world has become like this

無自由 毋寧死

Constant struggle, too many cunning voices

妥協最後 失敗者只會是你

For the word freedom, countless innocents have sacrificed

不能容忍個世界解咩變屎

One equality, one freedom

犧牲幾多 揸緊中指我道你不知

Fighting for freedom, continuously challenging power

One 平等一個 Freedom

...

為自由追尋 同權力繼續繼續抗衡

...
