American Soil - Ezra Furman

American Soil - Ezra Furman
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
There's something in the water
水中暗藏不祥征兆
Something sick in the blood and the oil
血液与原油里滋长着腐坏
Here's the white chicken grinning
白羽鸡咧着诡异笑容
Here's the serpent in a horrible coil
毒蛇盘踞成狰狞漩涡
Don't be scared by the stared
别被地铁车厢里
Of the peasants on the subway car
农民们空洞的眼神吓到
Because the way things
因为现实的模样
Seem in a dream is just the way
正如同噩梦般荒诞
That they are
他们就是如此
And I can feel God taking
我能感受到上帝
His eyes off you
不再注视着你
You were born for American soil
你生来就属于这片美利坚土地
Every race has its place
每个种族都有其宿命
Every nation fights for species survival
每个国家都在为生存而战
I'm a Jew through and through
我流淌着犹太人的血
And I'm about to write you a Bible
此刻正要为你书写新的圣经
Now let me take your hand
让我牵起你的手
And show you through the twisted
带你穿过扭曲的
Hallways of the house of song
歌声之屋的走廊
We got the magazine wallpaper
我们用杂志糊墙
And a million dollar bills on the lawn
草坪上铺满百万钞票
And you can feel God taking his eyes off us
你能感觉到上帝正移开视线
We were born for American soil
我们生来属于这片美国土地
Ah ah ah ah ah ah

You don't have to be clever to detect
无需慧眼也能察觉
A big American sadness
这片美利坚的沉郁
When the population rules
当民众执掌权柄时
Every man has a hand in the madness
每个人都深陷疯狂
There's a dead grove of trees
城外有片枯死的树林
You can visit on the outside of town
可供你驻足凭吊
And there's a desolate dust
墓园里弥漫着
Inside the cemetery settling down
荒芜的尘埃在沉降
And I can feel God taking his eyes off us
我能感受到上帝正将目光从我们身上移开
We were born for American soil
我们生来就属于这片美利坚土地
Now we have seen every baby has to
如今我们目睹每个孩子都不得不
Have some kind of mother and father
拥有某种形式的父母双亲
But the child's gone wild
但孩子已变得狂野不羁
And the piece has got away from the author
而拼图碎片已脱离创造者的掌控
If freedom isn't free all the bills
若自由并非无偿 那么所有账单
Must just be lost in the mail
想必都已在邮寄途中遗失
Because the highways are on fire
因为高速公路正燃烧着烈焰
And the serpent is now eating its tail
巨蛇开始吞噬自己的尾巴
And you can feel God taking his eyes off us
你能感觉到上帝正移开视线
We were born for American soil
我们生来就属于这片美利坚土地
