The Crutch - Gil Scott-Heron

Gil Scott-Heron - The Crutch

Written by：Gil Scott-Heron、Richard Russell

His eyes half closed revealed his world of nod
他半闭着眼睛 他的世界里只有一些点头之交
A world of lonely men and no love no god
这是一个孤独的世界 没有爱 没有上帝
His life of seeming nonchalance can't hide
他的生活似乎充满冷漠 无法掩饰
The pain and fear that in his mind reside
他心中的痛苦和恐惧
From dawn till dawn his body houses hurt
一天又一天 他的身体受到了伤害
And none of us can truly aid his search
我们谁也帮不上他的忙
We sit outside and sing cliches the fool
我们置身事外 唱着陈词滥调的蠢话
It's always easy to forecast other's doom
预测别人的命运总是很容易
The savage beast that once so soothed his brain
曾经抚慰他的野蛮野兽
Has reared it's ugly head and staked it's claim
抬起了丑陋的头 用木桩标出了它的要求
Call yama here sits one more soul
呼喊阎王 这里坐着另一个灵魂
That he will have to add to sorrows toll
他将不得不增加痛苦的代价
These men still men would be like you and me
这些人还是像你和我一样
But when the world reached out they chose to flee
但当世界伸出援手时 他们选择了逃离
The crutch
丢掉拐杖支撑
