Written by：Ian Hunter

Oh God said to me gonna kick your ass
上帝对我说要给你点颜色瞧瞧
'Cause all you do is ask ask ask
因为你只会一味地追问不休
All that energy looking for me
耗尽心力四处寻觅我的踪迹
When I'm sitting here inside you plain to see
殊不知我就在你心底清晰可见
How I built you cell
我如何将你精心构筑
For cell gave you sights to see
赋予你洞察世事的双眼
I gave you tales to tell
赐予你讲述故事的能力
Even let you help yourself for a while
甚至让你短暂地主宰自己
To take some weight off this busy child
为这忙碌的孩子卸下重担
Now I said to God
此刻我对上帝说
I found you out
我已看透你
'Cause I know what this laugh is all about
因我懂得这笑声背后的真意
And God said stop don't scramble your brain
上帝说停下 别让思绪混乱
My opponent's been messing you around again
我的对手又在戏弄你
See him and me are enemies
看啊 他与我是宿敌
And we play little games for galaxies
我们以星系为棋局博弈
And he's inside you
祂就在你心中
And I am too so here we are
我也同在 此刻我们相聚
Just the three of you
你们三人同行
Oh we made mistakes
我们曾犯过错
Too many cards
抉择太多
But making human beings can be hard
创造人类本非易事
A God gets tired of playing so much chess
神明厌倦了永无止境的棋局
He wishes his God would get him out of his mess
多希望祂的上帝能带祂脱离困境
I said to God what's it like to die
我问上帝死亡是什么感觉
He said it's as plain as the sea and sky
他说就像海天相接般简单纯粹
Conception was me and him and you
创世之初本就是我们三者的约定
When your batteries fade we all just move on
当你的生命耗尽 我们终将各自前行
Oh I said to God who's winning this game
我又问上帝这场博弈谁占上风
Is the devil in front
是否恶魔已领先
He said is that his name
他却反问那是他的名字吗
You know I've been so busy I never asked
你知道我太忙碌 从未过问这些虚名
I never looked up from this awesome task
我从未在这神圣使命中抬头分神
I said to God what's good 'n bad he said
我问上帝何为善恶 祂说
It's just something that you've got to have
不过是你们必须经历的试炼
It don't mean nothing to us up here
对云端之上的我们毫无意义
But your primitive people
但你们这些原始生灵
You gotta have fear
需要心存敬畏
Oh I said to God do I think for myself
我又问上帝 我可有自主意志
He said I told you once you just help yourself
祂说早告诉过你 命运由你主宰
Don't you forget you're composed of three
莫忘你由三部分组成
Your thinking comes from him and me
你的思想源于祂与我
I said to God how big are you
我曾问上帝您有多宏大
Is there a religion is it true
宗教是否真实无瑕
How big's the universe is time
宇宙浩瀚时间无垠
The same for you as my life is to mine
于您如我生命般转瞬
Oh he said if all the things
祂说若使万物
That made worlds float
悬浮世间的力量
Were all to part
倘若我们终将分离
Then you would note
你便会察觉
The size of him and the size of me
祂的浩瀚与我的渺小
And that's how big we both shall be
那便是我们共同的尺度
He said the universe is small
祂说宇宙何其微小
Just like some fortune teller's ball
恍若占卜师的水晶球
And we sit down
我们安然落座
And we play the game
共演这场游戏
When somebody wins it all starts again
每当有人获胜 一切又将重演
There's no religion
世间本无宗教
You did that
是你创造了它
It helps to keep your little leaders fat
只为养肥那些小头目
Like faith 'n superstition stay
像信仰与迷信般长存
To help you pass the time away
助你消磨虚度光阴
But when you talk of time and life
但当你谈及时间与生命
It makes me think of circles heights
总让我想起轮回的巅峰
Expansion is the clue your dreams
扩张是你梦想的钥匙
Are nearer than you've ever been
从未如此接近彼岸
Now you see my little
现在你看到我的小小
Toy to think
思考玩具
Is from two bowls of wine to drink
来自两杯美酒
Don't take too much or you may drown
莫要贪杯 恐将沉沦
Behave yourself see you around
谨守本心 后会有期
