20th Century Man - David Gates
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
Hey 20th century man

Got to learn to get whenever you can
要学会不择手段地攫取
Days work for a whole days pay
终日劳碌只为糊口度日
There ain't no reason and there ain't no way
没有理由 也没有退路
The only way to make it
想要出人头地
Is just go out and take it
唯有主动出击
Even if you break it
哪怕玉石俱焚
Politicians in high up places
那些高高在上的政客们
Hiding back the smiling faces
虚伪笑容背后藏着算计
Sure know how to give and take
深谙索取与给予之道
Fill Swiss banks with the deals they make
交易所得尽数存入瑞士银行
Why should we be giving
我们为何还要付出
The world owes us a living
这世界本就欠我们生计
That's the right of a 20th century man
这就是二十世纪人的权利
Met a woman at home all day
遇见一位终日居家的妇人
Husband comes home too tired to play
丈夫归家疲惫无心温存
She takes shelter in her percodan
她躲在镇痛药构筑的避风港
And gets her loving from another man
从另一个男人身上汲取温暖
She never meant to do it
她本无意沦落至此
The times have drove her to it
是这世道逼她沉沦
But now that she's been through it
如今既已深陷其中
Had a friend but his minds all through
曾有挚友却心智尽失
He's got his money but he wants mine too
腰缠万贯仍觊觎我所有
Lord he wanted to take so bad
上帝啊 他贪婪得如此赤裸
It drove him crazy and it drove him mad
这让他疯狂 让他失去理智
Life for him is over
他的生命已然终结
He never tasted clover
从未尝过幸福的滋味
Now he's just a 20th century man
如今他只是个20世纪的行尸走肉
He's a man
他是个男人
He's never loudly a 20th century man
却从未真正活出20世纪的模样
He's a man
他是个男人
He's a man
他是个男人
He's never loudly a 20th century man
却从未真正活出20世纪的模样
He's a man
他是个男人
20th century man
20世纪的普通人
Century man
世纪凡人
