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

如今流行的新词是“革命”

人们甚至不想听传教士的说教

不管是倾诉还是兜售，因为上帝的全部布局已被彻底挑动

而美国如今是血与泪，而非奶与蜜

那些被灌输要继续的青年

把事情搞得一团糟，某个夜晚醒来开始挖掘

保罗·里维尔和纳特·特纳被视为好人

美国被剥得赤裸，我们还未全部闭上眼睛

真理的标记被纹在我们敞开的阴部上

我们惊讶地学到那未被诉说的丑闻

两个世纪的历史被埋在霉味的金库中

每天被喷洒令人作呕的香水

美国是私生子，是母国的私生女

它的腿随后遍布全球

还有一个名为“自由”的强奸犯，带来自由的厄运

民主、自由与正义是革命的代号

在那沸腾、沸腾、沸腾、沸腾、沸腾之前

在母国的胯部

韦伯斯特对“灵魂”是怎么说的？

我只想要一个好住所和一个妻子

还有孩子们，以及每晚喂养他们的食物

说到底，若他们接受，便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?
