Who Will Survive in America – 英语/中文 双语歌词

歌词与翻译

[中文]

我们颠倒地生活着

新的流行词是“革命”

人们甚至不愿听传教士的声音

不论是倾诉还是辩论，都因为上帝的全部计划已被彻底挑动

美国如今是血与泪，而非昔日的甘甜

那些被灌输继续前行的年轻人

搞砸了，某夜醒来开始挖掘

保罗·里维尔和纳特·特纳被视为好人

美国被剥光赤裸，而我们仍未全部闭上眼睛

真理的标记纹在我们敞开的阴道上

我们惊讶地了解到未曾流传的丑闻故事

两百多年埋藏在陈旧的金库中

每天被一股令人作呕的香水冲刷

美国是个私生子，是母国的非婚生女儿

其四肢随后遍布全球

而所谓的“自由”，是一名强奸者，带来自由的厄运

民主、自由、正义曾是革命的暗号

在此之前，沸腾、沸腾、沸腾、沸腾、沸腾的局面

在母国的胯部

韦氏词典对“灵魂”怎么解释？

我唯一想要的是一个温馨的家和一个妻子

还有孩子和每天晚上供他们吃的食物

说归说，若有可能，就开辟通往中国的新航线

谁能在美国生存？

谁能在美国生存？

谁能在美国生存？

谁能在美国生存？

...

[英语]

Us living as we do upside down

And the new word to have is revolution

People don't even want to hear the preacher

Spill or spiel because God's whole card has been thoroughly piqued

And America is now blood and tears instead of milk and honey

The youngsters who were programmed to continue

Fucking up, woke up one night digging

Paul Revere and Nat Turner as the good guys

America stripped for bed and we had not all yet closed our eyes

The signs of Truth were tattooed across our open ended vagina

We learned to our amazement the untold tale of scandal

Two long centuries buried in the musty vault

Hosed down daily with a gagging perfume

America was a bastard, the illegitimate daughter of the mother country

Whose legs were then spread around the world

And a rapist known as freedom, free doom

Democracy, liberty, and justice were revolutionary code names

That preceded the bubbling, bubbling, bubbling, bubbling, bubbling

In the mother country's crotch

What does Webster say about soul?

All I want is a good home and a wife

And a children and some food to feed them every night

After all is said and done, build a new route to China if they'll have you

Who will survive in America?

Who will survive in America?

Who will survive in America?

Who will survive in America?
