Ballad Of The Dying Man
Naturally the dying man wonders to himself:
那将死之人想知道
Has commentary been more elusive than anybody else?
他的墓志铭会比其他的更难被人记住吗
And had he successfully beaten back the rising tide
他成功击退了那些
Of idiots, dilettantes, and fools
白痴、懒汉和傻子们的负面舆论了吗
On his watch while he was alive
活着时他常盯着他的手表
Lord, just a little more time
上帝,再多一点时间吧
Oh, in no time at all
哦,根本没有时间
This'll be the distant past
这一切将变成遥远的过去
Ooh
哦
So says the dying man once I'm in the box
我在摄像机前,他说
Just think of all the overrated hacks running amok
想想那些被高估的喷子们
And all of the pretentious, ignorant voices that will go unchecked
所有那些虚张声势、愚昧无知的声音都不会停止
The homophobes, hipsters, and 1%
而同性恋者、嬉皮士和那1%的少数人
The false feminists he'd managed to detect
还有没被揭穿的伪女权主义者
Oh, who will critique them once he's left?
哦,谁还会在他们离开后批评他们?
Oh, in no time at all
哦,根本没有时间
This'll be the distant past
这一切将变成遥远的过去
What he'd give for one more day to rate and analyze
他还想花更多时间去看看
The world made in his image as of yet
这个世界
To realize what a mess to leave behind
去想想他还留下了什么乱七八糟的东西
Eventually the dying man takes his final breath
那将死之人咽了气
But first checks his news feed to see what he's 'bout to miss
但是要先检查下他的新闻稿,看看有漏掉什么吗
And it occurs to him a little late in the game
他在比赛中有点晚了
We leave as clueless as we came
我们离开的时候如同来时愚钝
For the rented heavens to the shadows in the cave
为了租来的天堂到山洞里的阴影处一探
We'll all be wrong someday
总有一天我们都会错的
Oh
哦
Oh
哦
Oh
哦
