歌词与翻译

[中文]

我们生活在如此颠倒的世界中

而现在最时髦的词汇是“革命”

人们甚至不想听传教士地

滔滔不绝，因为上帝的底牌已被彻底揭穿

如今的美国不再是奶与蜜之地，而是血与泪的交织

那些被洗脑而延续错误

的年轻人，某夜惊醒，开始挖掘真相

将保罗·里维尔和纳特·特纳视为英雄

美国已准备就寝，而我们尚未全部闭眼

真理的印记，就纹在我们的赤裸之躯上

我们惊讶地发现了那些被掩盖的丑闻

两个世纪的往事被埋在霉烂的地窖里

每天用令人窒息的香水掩盖臭味

美国是个私生子，是母国的非法之女

她的双腿被摊开在全世界面前

而一个名为“自由”的强奸犯，带来了自由的毁灭

民主、自由与公正，不过是革命的代号

在此之前，母国的胯间

早已在不断地翻涌，翻涌，翻涌

韦伯斯特字典是如何定义“灵魂”的？

我想要的只是一个温暖的家，一个妻子

还有孩子，以及每晚能喂饱他们的食物

在一切尘埃落定后，如果他们愿意接纳，就去开辟一条去中国的新路吧

谁能在美国生存下去？

谁能在美国生存下去？

谁能在美国生存下去？

谁能在美国生存下去？

...

[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?
