Selling the News - Switchfoot

Selling the News - Switchfoot
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
Welcome to the Holy City
欢迎来到圣城
The Silver Screen
银幕世界
Built with the lends of the low self esteem
由自卑的镜头堆砌而成
A teenagers plea for meaning and means
少年们渴求意义与出路
We're selling the news
我们贩卖着新闻
See opinions are easier
看啊 观点总是
To swallow than facts
比事实更易下咽
The greys instead of the whites and the blacks
用灰色取代纯粹的黑白
If you shoot it too straight it won't come back
若你报道太过直白 便无人问津
We're selling the news
我们贩卖着新闻
See money speaks volumes
看 金钱掷地有声
Louder than words
比言语更震耳欲聋
And virtues with wings
美德插上翅膀
Maybe not quite at first
或许最初难以察觉
But salaries are payed
但薪资结算时
With the eyes not the verbs
靠的是眼球而非真相
We're selling the news
我们贩卖着新闻
See all men are equal; all is for sale
看啊 众生平等 万物皆可交易
A powerful dog has been chasing his tale
权势之犬徒劳追逐自己的尾巴
The lowest common demonstrator prevails
最低俗的煽动者大行其道
We're selling the news
我们贩卖着新闻
I wanna believe you I wanna believe
我多想相信你 我渴望信任
But everything is in-between
但一切都暧昧不明
The fact is fiction; The fact is fiction
事实即虚构 真相即幻象
I wanna believe you I wanna believe
我多想相信你 我渴望信任
But everything is in-between
但一切都暧昧不明
The fact is fiction
事实沦为虚构
Suspicion is the new religion
怀疑成了新的信仰
America listens as the story is told
美国聆听着故事的讲述
With the eye on the truth as the story unfolds
目光聚焦真相 随着情节展开
But the ratings determine which story was sold
但收视率决定哪个故事能成交
We're selling the news
我们贩卖着新闻
Begging the question longer in fears
用恐惧延长质疑的期限
Stroking the eyes and tickling ears
蒙蔽双眼 取悦双耳
The story is seldom just as it appears
真相往往与表象相去甚远
We're selling the news
我们贩卖着新闻
I wanna believe you I wanna believe
我多想相信你 我渴望信任
But everything is in-between
但一切都暧昧不明
The fact is fiction; The fact is fiction
事实即虚构 真相即幻象
I wanna believe you I wanna believe
我多想相信你 我渴望信任
But everything is in-between
但一切都暧昧不明
The fact is fiction; The fact is fiction
事实即虚构 真相即幻象
I can see your talking heads
我看见你们喋喋不休的嘴脸
On the television set
在电视荧幕上
On the internet they say
网络世界里他们宣称
The fact is fiction
事实沦为虚构
Suspicion is the new religion
怀疑成了新的信仰
Substance Oh Substance
真相啊 真相
Where have you been
你究竟去了哪里
You've been replaced by the masters of spins
你已被那些操控舆论的大师取代
Who make good looking books and write history in
他们编撰光鲜的典籍 书写历史
We're selling the news
我们贩卖着新闻
The lines start to blur
真相与虚构的界限开始模糊
I get so confused
我如此困惑不解
They get shiny new models mixed up with the blues
他们将崭新的谎言与忧郁混为一谈
They get binary code mixed up with abuse
他们将二进制代码与伤害混淆不清
The facts are simply one option to choose
事实不过是可选的选项之一
When nothing is sacred
当神圣荡然无存
There's nothing to lose
便再无顾忌可言
When nothing is sacred
当神圣荡然无存
All is consumed
万物皆被吞噬
We're still on the air
我们仍在播报
It must be the truth
这必然就是真相
We're selling the news
我们贩卖着新闻
I wanna believe you
我想相信你
I wanna believe
我想相信
But everything is in-between
但一切都暧昧不明
The fact is fiction
事实沦为虚构
The fact is fiction
事实沦为虚构
I wanna believe you
我想相信你
I wanna believe
我想相信
But everything is in-between
但一切都暧昧不明
The fact is fiction;
真相沦为虚构
The fact is fiction
事实沦为虚构
I wanna believe you
我想相信你
I wanna believe
我想相信
But everything I see is green
但所见皆是虚妄
The fact is fiction
事实沦为虚构
Suspicion is the new religion
怀疑成了新的信仰
