The Ballad of N.A.T.O. - The Tossers
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
You say you're telling me right now
你说此刻正向我阐明
Of how you think that it should be
你理想中的世界模样
By the hand of Democratic law
以民主法律为名
And the hand of decency
以道德体面为章
But your raging you won't talk law
可你暴怒时从不谈法理
To me or tell me any stand
对我避而不谈立场
You're pointing all the fingers
你忙着指责他人
But refuse to shake the hand
却拒绝真诚相商
Instead of sitting content in your ideals and your laws
与其安坐于理想与律法的象牙塔中
You have to tell me what you see
不如告诉我你眼中所见
Cause I can't see a lot
我虽视野有限
But I see how Democratic your law is
却看清你们民主法律的本质
When it's revised and necessarily changed
当条文被修订 被必要地篡改
The Irish were arrested without warrants
爱尔兰人被无令状逮捕
Because they were soldiers armed and estranged
只因他们是武装的异乡战士
All's fair in love and war
情场战场皆可不择手段
Then they were tried without jury
他们未经陪审团审判就被定罪
The act said fear of jurors death threats
法案声称担心陪审员遭受死亡威胁
Also no people could object to thee
更无人能对此提出异议
They were arrested under special laws
他们被依据特别法逮捕
And tried in diplock juries
在无陪审法庭受审
But when asked by Amnesty or other countries
但当国际特赦组织或其他国家质询时
They were criminalized as terrorists
他们就被污名为恐怖分子
So you could ignore political talks
这样就能扼杀政治对话
And ignore political struggling
对政治斗争视而不见
So you can hold onto your colony without political juggling
只为牢牢掌控殖民地 无需政治周旋
So you sat firm and quiet in your country
于是你们安坐国内 沉默不语
And morals and common law promoting
高谈道德与普通法
But Nationalists kept coming
但民族主义者前赴后继
Bombs and people kept exploding
炸弹与人民仍在抗争
The Somazas crushed Nicaragua
索摩查家族践踏尼加拉瓜
The Falklands Angola and Nambia South Africa

They fought you tooth and nail

Till they were crushed or you gave up

You're not a Democracy
你绝非民主灯塔
You're a Capitalist empire that colonizes weaker lands

And taxes natural resource

Oil diamonds copper exchanging hands

You put in Democratic so called governments

As heads of the state
充当国家元首门面
That are willing to adhere to your bidding
甘愿俯首听命于你的驱使
And reap measly profits from their state

And you colonize them with phone companies
用电信公司将他们殖民
Hotels McDonalds and Nike plants
酒店 麦当劳 耐克工厂遍地
And erect military bases under the pretense of defense

But the truth is its defense from revolution
实则为镇压革命做准备
In case the poor rise up
以防贫民揭竿而起
Against the governments you've helped to empower

And make the final stop
最终走向末路
Then you called them a communist menace

And stage and attack from your own bases

Then the government death squads destroy their empty faces
政府敢死队抹去他们空洞的面容
You sent embargos on countries

Who don't agree or finally do revolt

A free country can't sell their natural resource

On a global free market vote

The countries that sit in the N A T O seats

Are the same domineering five

And the butchers they empower

Keep the rest of the seats alive

And the countries ostracized by embargo

That form the rest of the world

Were forced to form a non-aligned organization

You call this a free market and your system Democratic

In the maze of our memories we live there you see

In our minds we are together and forever we'll be
灵魂深处永相连 此情不渝亘古存
You can murder my land make the skylarks scream
任你屠戮我故土 逼云雀凄厉哀鸣
Just to tell your provincials you'd not turn on them

Your possessive ego crushes my friends and me

But I know in my mind that I want to be free
但心底的呐喊 始终渴望自由降临
You fought Ireland as an organized army
你们曾以正规军 践踏爱尔兰土地
You fought them as a country

And you were oblivious as to which serf was defending

If you act like rats you get treated like this
