歌词与翻译

[中文]

我们活得颠倒错乱

而新时代的口号是革命

人们甚至不想听传道者的话

无论是真心还是谎言，因为上帝的底牌已被彻底激怒

而美国现在充满了血泪，不再是奶与蜜之地

那些被编程继续前行的年轻人

某天夜里突然醒悟，发现自己一直在搞砸

将保罗·里维尔和纳特·特纳视为英雄

美国已赤裸裸地展现在我们面前，而我们还未完全闭上眼睛

真理的标志被纹在我们敞开的心灵上

我们惊讶地发现了一个未曾讲述的丑闻故事

两个世纪以来，它一直被埋在发霉的保险库里

每天都被令人作呕的香水冲洗

美国是个私生子，是母国的私生女

她的双腿被摊开在全世界

而一个名为“自由”的强奸犯，实则带来毁灭

民主、自由和正义曾是革命的代号

它们先于那沸腾、沸腾、沸腾、沸腾、沸腾的声音

在母国的裆部

韦氏词典对“灵魂”有何定义？

我只想有一个温暖的家和一位妻子

以及孩子们，每晚能有食物喂养他们

一切都已尘埃落定，如果他们接受你，就开辟一条通往中国的新道路吧

谁能在美国存活下来？

谁能在美国存活下来？

谁能在美国存活下来？

谁能在美国存活下来？

...

[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?
