Written by:Marvin Gaye
Listen to the preacher man
聆听牧师布道
But are you talkin' to me
但你是否在对我诉说
I can't hear you with a mouth full of pig's feet
满口虚伪教义 我充耳不闻
If I should need the swine flesh
若我需要救赎
Your body is a mess but you're blessed
你虽满身罪孽却自诩蒙恩
With a father son spirit and the holy ghost
以圣父圣子圣灵之名
But my whole neighborhood is comatose
而我的街区仍在苦难中沉沦
Lookin' for survival
只为挣扎求生
The devil made you a slave and he gave you a bible
恶魔将你奴役 却递给你一本圣经
400 years gettin' our a** kicked
四百年来我们饱受欺凌践踏
By so called Christians and Catholics
那些自诩基督徒与天主教徒的伪善者
But I watch 'em burn in a fire
而我冷眼看着他们在烈火中焚烧
See I'm a g that's why I ain't in your choir
因我清醒 故不入你唱诗班
Cause I see cause I know
我洞悉 我明了
The church ain't nothin' but a fashion show
教堂不过是场虚伪的时装秀
Get the devil to a 187
让恶魔坠入无间地狱
And they won't call me a ni**a when I get to heaven
当我抵达天堂 他们再不敢唤我黑鬼
You're waitin' for the devil to come from the ground
你正等待恶魔从地底爬出
Clown take a look around
小丑 睁眼看看四周
Just look at the cross that the priest is holdin'
看牧师高举的十字架背后
A beast in sheep's clothing
披着羊皮的野兽
But I'm rollin' with that knowledge of self
而我带着觉醒的智慧前行
Cause heaven ain't just wealth
因天堂不只有金银
So mister preacher if I couldn't pay my tithe
若我付不出什一税 牧师大人
Do I have to wait outside
我是否只能在外等候
White man please take another look
白人请再仔细看看
Cause we couldn't be readin' out of the same book
因为我们不可能读着相同的经书
Cause yous a crook and I'm a brother
因你是骗子而我是同胞
King James had sex with his mother
詹姆斯王与生母乱伦
Is that your edition is that your religion
这就是你们的版本 这就是你们的信仰吗
Black man you gotta make a decision
黑人啊 你必须做出抉择
Cause god is comin' on day number seven
因上帝将在第七日降临
And he won't call me a ni**a when I get to heaven
当我抵达天堂 他再不敢以蔑称唤我
The same white man that threw me in the slammer
正是那个白人 曾将我投入牢笼
He bombed the church in Alabama
他炸毁了阿拉巴马的教堂
So if I the hammer god won't mind
若我举起铁锤 主必不会责难
If I have to kill the human swine
若我必须清除那些卑劣之徒
Cause god is a killer from the start
因上帝自太初便是审判者
Why you think Noah had to build his ark
否则诺亚何必建造方舟
And god is a man from his feet to his hair
上帝从发梢到脚底都是凡人模样
That's why you say 'amen' after each and every prayer
所以你们每次祷告后都念着"阿门"
I just stare at the church man
我冷眼望着教堂里的人
Spendin' more money on the church band
把更多钱砸向唱诗班
But elijah's got a plan
但以利亚先知早有预言
Got the white man screamin' 'damn that farrakhan'
让白人惊呼"法拉罕真该死"
Cause one day these babies are up rise
因为这些婴孩终将觉醒
Much more than bow ties and bean pies
远不止领结和豆馅饼的象征
Kickin' knowledge at 7 11
在便利店传播真知灼见
And they won't call me a ni**a when I get to heaven
当我抵达天堂 他们再不敢唤我黑鬼
