Hesitating Nation

I don't really even want to know you
我實在沒想認識你
With your backstage wisdom like a boarded up window
尤當你人後的所謂才智像是釘上木板的窗口一般固執
Who are we to go and make big plans?
我們又有什麼資格去計劃未來？
Married in a fever, children in a panic
結婚只是一時腦熱孩子們生活在慌亂之中

潛入深海廣告廢墟
Deep sea diver, advertising ruin
水底大火以及政府贊助的污染
With the underwater fire, state sponsored pollution
閉上雙眼以盲目前往城中
Closing our eyes, blindly to town
希望媽媽現在不會發現
Hoping that Mama does not see us now
我們成為了世界上第一批百萬富翁

你明白的就是那些無所在乎的人
We've become the world's first millionaires
嘗不出其中的滋味但確實不是什麼新鮮玩意
You know, the ones who just don't care
只是嗅覺上像是妥協與微妙混亂的暗示

如今的假日對我們而言更像工作時間
Can't even taste it but it's really nothing new
我們舉重若輕終日活在自我懷疑中
And it smells of compromise with subtle hints of confusion
襯衫沾上酒漬汽車油已燒盡
Holidays are working days to us now
一旁的警察笑個不停可其實並沒那麼好笑
We are lifting dead weight and embracing self-doubt
當我情緒至此低落誰又會將我拯救

上帝的孩子所謂教義於我已是無用
The shirt with the wine stain, the car is not running
我們為自己的快樂而來風流倜儻
A policeman laughs but it's really not funny
你明白的對於那些無所在乎的人確是這樣
Who will save me when I'm feeling this down
我們內心的純潔尚未泯滅
All God's children are useless to me now
即使身處這麼一個充滿猶豫的國度走向神經衰弱的路上

從某種程度上說我現在十分舒適
We have come for solitary fun, debonair
我拿到了張百元大鈔用來堵住政客的嘴
You know, for the ones who just don't care
報紙裡頭都已經刊登這種狂熱正在蔓延

現在已經演變成了所有人圍在馬桶旁邊
All of the innocents we've yet to cast out
實在是可惜吧真是讓人失望
In a hesitating nation on the way to nervous breakdown
跌落谷底之前你就已經死了
In a certain way, I'm sitting pretty now
只要你說出祈禱之詞一切便都會好起來的
I've got a hundred dollar bill to plug the politician's mouth
你明白的對那些無所顧忌之人確是這樣

It's written in the paper, there's a fever taking hold
And now it's everyone gather 'round the toilet bowl
What a shame, and what a letdown
You will be dead before the bottom drops out

All is well so long as you say your little prayers
You know, for the ones who just don't care
When you are the one who didn't care
And you are the one who just don't care
