Lyrics by：Dave/Fraser T. Smith/Paul McCartney/John Lennon

Yeah
I sometimes wonder "What would I do in a next generation?"
In 1940 if I was enlisted to fight for the nation
Or in 1960 if I had to fight for the rights of my people
And laid down my life on the line so my grandkids could live a life that's peaceful
Would I be on that?
Would I be frontline?
That's what I'm thinkin'
If I was alive in the 1912 on the Titanic and it was sinkin'
若我身处1912年 随泰坦尼克沉没之际
Who am I savin'?
该救谁性命
Am I fightin' women and children or am I waitin'?
是与妇孺争抢 还是静候命运
I wonder "What would I do in a next generation?"
不禁自问 来世又将如何抉择
Battle of Karbala if they captured me for the sake of my father
若在卡巴拉战役 为父之名被俘
Would I stand on my honour like Hussein did it and tell them to make me martyr
能否如侯赛因般坚守尊严 甘愿殉道
Would I really get smarter?
真能变得更明智吗
Forgive my oppressor or stick to the creed?
宽恕压迫者 还是坚守信仰
If I got locked inside like Nelson Mandela but never was freed
若我如曼德拉般身陷囹圄却永无天日
I see a white man dance to rumba ain't study Patrice Lumumba
看白人跳着伦巴却对卢蒙巴思想一无所知
But get on the stage and sing like Zumba
却在台上跳着尊巴舞步如痴
Like ja-ja-ja-ja sumba
哼着含混不清的咒语
**** it I wonder "What would I do in a next generation?"
**** 我不禁自问"来世将如何自处？"
Would I fight for justice?
可会为正义而战？
Is it the reason my mum named me David?
母亲赐名大卫是否正为此故？
How can you be king?
你怎配称王？
How can you be king?
你怎配称王？
Don't speak for the people
莫妄代民发声
Them man try draw me out and compare like me and these niggas are equal
宵小妄图将我拖下水 竟敢与我相提并论
I'm a Black man and this bozo sayin' my music socially conscious
我乃黑人子民 这小丑却道我的音乐充满社会良知
While the mandem troll the responses this world's gone totally bonkers
当众人戏谑回应时 这世界已彻底癫狂
I sometimes wonder "What would I do in a next generation?"
我常自问"来世当如何自处？"
But I'm knowin' the answer 'cause what am I doin' in this generation?
其实早知答案 因今生所为即是明证
Afraid to speak cah I don't wanna risk it my occupation
沉默只因不敢冒险 职业身份让我噤声
We got kids under occupation my parents they wouldn't get that
孩童仍在占领区挣扎 父辈却难解其中痛
The people that died for our freedom spoke on justice couldn't accept that
自由先驱为正义呐喊 世人却充耳不闻
I talk by the money on all my accounts so why don't I speak on the West Bank?
账户数字叮当作响 为何对约旦河西岸沉默
Remember growin' up prejudice the damage 7-7 did
记得成长中的偏见 七七事件伤痕犹在
Extremist and terrorist I was afraid of the Taliban
极端分子与恐怖主义 我曾畏惧塔利班之名
Can't speak out on illegal settlers now I'm afraid of a shadow-ban
如今对非法定居者噤声 又怕遭平台封杀
What would I do in a next generation?
若到下一个世代 我该何以自处
Critiquin' African leaders for sellin' our country's natural resources to the West for peanuts
批判非洲领袖将国家资源贱卖给西方
If they don't hear they'll feel us
若充耳不闻 必将感受我们的力量
I question what I'm alive for
我质问自己为何而活
Now can you say you're alive if you ain't got somethin' you're willin' to die for?
若无所坚守 生命岂非虚妄
What am I willin' to die for?
我愿为何献出生命
What am I doin' in this generation?
我在这时代该当何为
I get in my head sometimes I feel like I'm in despair
思绪翻涌时 恍若深陷绝境
That feelin' of total powerlessness I get that sinkin' feelin'
那彻底的无助感 如坠深渊
That good ain't defeatin' evil
善良终难战胜邪恶
I put that pain on vinyl but feel like that **** ain't movin' the needle
我将伤痛刻录成唱片 却感觉这****毫无意义
Retweetin' people raisin' awareness in all fairness
转发那些提高认知的帖子 看似公平正义
Ain't gonna bring Chris back to his parents
却无法让克里斯回到父母身旁
But there's no other option it's a process
但我们别无选择 这是必经之路
Gotta stand and protest cah they want man silenced
必须挺身抗议 因为他们想要我们沉默
Cah they want man dead or they want man hopeless
因为他们想要我们消亡 或是陷入绝望
In the next generation I spoke with my ancestors in the night and I showed them
在深夜与先祖对话 我向他们展示
They spoke with tears in their eyes for the brothers they lost and said it was progress
他们含泪诉说失去的兄弟 却称这是进步
"How can it be progress?"
"这怎能算进步？"
I asked him confused disgusted
我困惑而厌恶地追问
They said "David just so you can fight this you know how much sufferin' touched us?
他们说："大卫 你可知道我们承受了多少苦难 才能让你有机会抗争？
And you got a chance we come from a time and a place where you couldn't get justice
我们来自一个无法伸张正义的时代和地方
Had to find peace in the fact that we all answer to the one what we trust in
只能在信仰中找到慰藉 相信终将接受审判
And in our generation we did do peaceful protest just like you
我们这代人也曾和平抗议 就像你们一样
Burnt buildings just like you did boycotts just like you
烧毁建筑 发起抵制 与你们如出一辙
Sat in a hostel powerless did feel powerless just like you
坐在旅舍里 无力感如你一般将我吞噬
And I know that it may sound strange but we made some change and we're just like you
或许听来荒谬 但我们确实带来改变 与你并无不同
I know that you question your character I know that you suffer in silence
我懂你质疑自我 懂你沉默中的煎熬
I know that it don't feel right when you go to the club in Victoria Island
维多利亚岛的夜店狂欢 总让你如鲠在喉
'Cause how can you dance in the club?
当门外百人乞讨 舞步怎能轻快？
There's a hundred people beggin' outside it
霓虹外跪着饥饿的身影
I know the sins of your father I know that you're desperate to fight them
父辈的罪孽你已知晓 而渴望抗争的火种未熄
So step in your purpose speak for your people share all your secrets

Man wanna speak on the scene but I seen it
众人妄议时局 而我早已亲历
Tried in the fire by Ghetts I'm anointed
历经熔炉试炼 如Ghetts般受膏加冕
