Sleep Through The Static - Jack Johnson
Written by:Jack Johnson
Trouble travels fast
麻烦总是来得很快
When you're specially designed for crash testing
当你为了试验精心设计
Or wearing wool sunglasses in the afternoon
或在午后穿着羊毛衣戴着太阳镜 纵情享受
Come on and tell us what you're trying to prove
来吧 告诉我们你在努力证明什么
Because it's a battle when you dabble in war
因为当你参与战争 就无法回头
You store it up unleash it then you piece it together
当你摧毁一切 然后又重新拼回
Whether the storm drain running rampant just stamp it
是否现实太过残酷 无需忧虑
And send it to somebody who's pretending to care
把一切交给某个看上去很在乎的人
Just cash in your blanks for little toy tanks
为达目的 不择手段
Learn how to use them then abuse them and choose them
利用之后 狠心丢弃
Over conversations relationships are overrated
简单的对话 无需在意
“I hated everyone” said the sun
我讨厌每个人 我就是王者
And so I will cook all your books
我会篡改所有的记录
You're too good looking and mistooken
看上去无比美好 实际大错特错
You could watch it instead
你可以默默看着
From the comfort of your burning beds
局势慢慢恶化
Or you can sleep through the static
或者忽视一切 安然入眠
Who needs sleep when we've got love
当我们沉浸爱河 谁需要昏昏入睡
Who needs keys when we've got clubs
当我们纵情狂欢 谁需要回家寂寞
Who needs please when we've got guns
当我们手握大枪 谁需要文明
Who needs peace when we've gone above
当我们得到一切 谁需要和平
But beyond where we should have gone
但我们不该这样 越过界线
We went beyond where we should have gone
我们不该这样 越过界线
Stuck between channels my thoughts all quit
频道换个不停 脑海混乱不堪
I thought about them too much allowed them to touch
陷入沉思 一再退步
The feelings that rained down on the plains all dried and cracked
感觉汹涌而来 却无能为力
Waiting for things that never came
等待的一切从未到来
Shock and awful thing to make somebody think
骇人听闻的事实 不禁让人们深思
That they have to choose pushing for peace supporting the troops
为了迎来和平 不得不支持军队战争
And either you're weak or you'll use brut force-feed the truth
是你太软弱 还是你觉得暴力可以证明一切
The truth is we say not as we do
我们已知晓了真相 这样的行动大错特错
We say anytime anywhere just show your teeth and strike the fear
无论何时 无论何地 你都要展露笑颜 无所畏惧
Of god wears camouflage cries at night and drives a dodge
但那只是伪装自己 你也会在深夜痛哭 开车兜风
Pick up the beat and stop hogging the feast
做回最真的自己 放下心中的贪念
That's no way to treat an enemy
没那么苦大仇深 别为难自己
Well mighty mighty appetite
或许是因为无止境的欲望
We just eat 'em up and keep on driving
我们吞噬一切 飞速疾驶
Freedom can be freezing take a picture from the pretty side
要如何释放自由 换一个角度审视美好
Mind your manners wave your banners
注意你的举止 挥舞你的旗帜
What a wonderful world that this angle can see
在天使眼中 世界多么美妙
But who needs to see what we've done
但谁需要看到我们所做的一切
Who needs please when we've got guns
当我们手握大枪 谁需要文明
Who needs keys when we've got clubs
当我们纵情狂欢 谁需要回家寂寞
Who needs peace when we've gone above
当我们得到一切 谁需要和平
But beyond where we should have gone
但我们不该这样 越过界线
Beyond where we should have gone
不该这样 越过界线
We went beyond where we should have gone
但我们不该这样 越过界线
Beyond where we should have gone
不该这样 越过界线
