Cruel, Cruel World - Ezra Furman
Lost my job lost my money in a flash
刹那之间丢了工作没了财产
Watching my old life turn to dust and ash
眼看往日美好生活灰飞烟灭
Called you up on the telephone
给你打了无数通电话
Ended up in a new town all alone
最终却独自一人来到陌生的城市
Took the bus on the highway tangled up
搭乘巴士在高速路上遇到堵塞
Felt the billboards' images f**k me up
感觉窗外的广告牌也在嘲笑我
Buy and sell yourself awake
你在清醒之中出卖了灵魂
Fall in love with a new thing every day
每一天都爱上不同的事物
It's cold cold cruel cruel world
这是个冰冷而残酷无情的世界
Cruel cruel world
残酷无情的世界
Cruel cruel
让我受尽折磨
Saw your hair in the sunlight glistening
我看到你的秀发在阳光下闪耀
Told your stories you weren't even listening
讲给你听的故事你却充耳不闻
Living out of an old suitcase
提着旧皮箱四处讨生活
Looking at your stone cold pretty face
凝视你那张冷艳的脸庞
Out of work like a true American
失业的我像个真正的美国人
Got real sick with no health-care benefits
重病之中却没有了医保福利
Everything turned black and blue
曾经依靠的一切都分崩离析
Government says
而政府说
"We can't take care of you"
我们无力拯救你
Goodbye goodbye cruel cruel world
再见了 这个残酷无情的世界
Cruel cruel world
残酷无情的世界
Cruel cruel
让我受尽折磨
