Wind-Up - Jethro Tull

When I was young and they packed me off to school
当我还小的时候 他们把我打发到主日学校去
And taught me how not to play the game
接着教导我怎样变得虚伪狡诈
I didnt mind if they groomed me for success
我不在意他们能否成功地培养我
Or if they said that I was a fool
或是把我当成傻瓜看待
So I left there in the morning
于是在一个清晨 我离开了这里
With their God tucked underneath my arm --
并把他们的上帝藏起来一并带走了
Their half-assed smiles and the book of rules
想起了他们低能的笑容与写满规章条例的课本
So I asked this God a question
我向这位上帝提了个问题
And by way of firm reply
并得到了一份坚定的回复
He said -- I'm not the kind you have to wind up on sundays
他说 我不是那种每周日都需要被上紧发条的神灵
So to my old headmaster (and to anyone who cares):
所以对于我的老校长 还有任何对教会负责的人
Before I'm through Id like to say my prayers --
在我说完我想要说的祷言之前
I don't believe you:
我不会相信你们
You had the whole damn thing all wrong --
你们把整件事都搞错了
Hes not the kind you have to wind up on sundays
他不是那种每周日都要被上紧一遍发条的神灵
Well you can excomunicate me on my way to sunday school
是的 你们可以在我前往主日学校的途中将我逐出教会
And have all the bishops harmonize these lines --
并且让所有的主教用和声吟诵这些鬼话
How do you dare tell me that I'm my fathers son
你们怎么敢声称我是我父亲的儿子?
When that was just an accident of birth
我的出生仅仅是一场意外
Id rather look around me -- compose a better song
我宁可回视自己 作一首更好的曲子
＇cos thats the honest measure of my worth
因为这才是我衡量自身价值的可靠方法
In your pomp and all your glory you're a poorer man than me
在你所有的荣誉与浮华外表下边 你是个比我还可怜的人
As you lick the boots of death born out of fear
当你出于恐惧而舔舐死神的靴子的时候
