The Chosen Ones - John Denver (约翰·丹佛)
I heard how all the lights went out in Memphis
我听说过在孟菲斯灯光如何燃尽
On the death night anniversary of the king
在国王逝世的周年祭奠典礼上
The pretenders talking dirty in the palace
道貌岸然的人在宫殿里说着脏话
But it doesnt have that old familiar ring
但是却没有那个熟悉的王冠
I see theres been some changes in the valley
我看到山谷中已经发生了一些变化
All the renegades have finally settled down
所有的反叛者已经被镇压
Now they worship in the temples of their rivals
现在他们在神殿里为曾经的敌人祈祷
And desecrate the holy heart of town
他们亵渎了小镇上神圣的心灵
Cant you hear all those sweet voices singing
你听不到这甜美的声音在歌唱吗
Takin care of the chosen ones
照顾被选定的人
Cant you hear all those mission bells ringing
你听不到这使命的钟声在敲响吗
Say a prayer for the chosen ones
为被选定的人祈祷吧
I read theyre pourin oil on troubled waters
我知道他们正在落井下石
Yet they cast a giant shadow on the land
他们让大地陷入了阴影
Lets spend another night across the border
让我们趁着夜晚越过边境
And bury all our secrets in the sand
将我们所有的秘密掩埋在沙漠
Now they claim there is a message in the Bible
现在他们说圣经里有一条信息
They swear there is no master and his slave
他们发誓说没有奴隶主与奴隶的区别
But the futures lookin dim for the lonesome cowboy
但是对孤独的牛仔男孩来说,前途一片渺茫
When the hand that rocks that cradle digs the grave
曾经轻摇着摇篮的那双手现在却挖着坟墓
