//[00:00:31]
These are the days of the open hand[00:00:31]
游手好闲的日子没有止尽[00:00:35]
They will not be the last[00:00:35]
他们将不会是最后一个[00:00:39]
Look around now[00:00:39]
环顾四周[00:00:41]
These are the days of the beggars and the choosers[00:00:41]
尽是些候选者与选举人[00:00:46]
This is the year of the hungry man[00:00:46]
这是饥渴的一年[00:00:50]
Whose place is in the past[00:00:50]
一方面[00:00:53]
Hand in hand with ignorance[00:00:53]
充斥着活在过去的人们愚昧无知地携手[00:00:57]
And legitimate excuses[00:00:57]
所谓合法的借口[00:01:01]
The rich declare themselves poor[00:01:01]
富人哭穷[00:01:05]
And most of us are not sure[00:01:05]
我们大多数人都不清楚[00:01:08]
If we have too much[00:01:08]
自己拥有的是否太多[00:01:10]
But we'll take our chances[00:01:10]
但我们愿意冒险[00:01:12]
'Cause God's stopped keeping score[00:01:12]
因为上帝不再眷顾[00:01:16]
I guess somewhere along the way[00:01:16]
我猜在路边的某个地方[00:01:19]
He must have let us all out to play[00:01:19]
他一定会让我们全部都出局[00:01:24]
Turned his back and all God's children[00:01:24]
转过身 所有上帝的子民[00:01:28]
Crept out the back door[00:01:28]
但我们愿意冒险[00:01:31]
And it's hard to love there's so much to hate[00:01:31]
爱太难 恨太多[00:01:38]
Hanging on to hope[00:01:38]
不停地期望[00:01:42]
When there is no hope to speak of[00:01:42]
当再无希望可言时[00:01:46]
And the wounded skies above say[00:01:46]
受伤的心空说[00:01:49]
It's much too much too late[00:01:49]
已经太迟了[00:01:55]
Well maybe we should all be praying for time[00:01:55]
或许我们都应该向时光祈祷[00:02:30]
These are the days of the empty hand[00:02:30]
这些无为的日子[00:02:34]
Oh you hold on to what you can[00:02:34]
你坚持着可能[00:02:38]
And charity is a coat you wear twice a year[00:02:38]
所谓的慈善就像你一年穿两次的大衣[00:02:45]
This is the year of the guilty man[00:02:45]
这一年人们充满内疚[00:02:49]
Your television takes a stand[00:02:49]
连媒体广播都表明立场[00:02:52]
And you find that what was over there is over here[00:02:52]
你发现遍地都是[00:03:00]
So you scream from behind your door[00:03:00]
你在门后尖叫[00:03:03]
Say what's mine is mine and not yours[00:03:03]
告诉他们 那是我的 不是你的[00:03:07]
I may have too much but I'll take my chances[00:03:07]
尽管拥有很多东西 但我们总要抓住机遇[00:03:11]
'Cause God's stopped keeping score[00:03:11]
上帝不再眷顾[00:03:14]
And you cling to the things they sold you[00:03:14]
当你身边全是他们向你兜售的东西[00:03:18]
Did you cover your eyes when they told you[00:03:18]
当他们告诉你的时候 你是否紧闭双眼[00:03:22]
That he can't come back[00:03:22]
那将不复[00:03:24]
'Cause he has no children to come back for[00:03:24]
因为没有值得他回来的子民[00:03:30]
It's hard to love there's so much to hate[00:03:30]
爱太难 恨太多[00:03:37]
Hanging on to hope when there is no hope to speak of[00:03:37]
当已无希望可言的时候还不住地期望[00:03:44]
And the wounded skies above say it's much too late[00:03:44]
受过创伤的心空会说已经太晚了[00:03:54]
So maybe we should all be praying for time[00:03:54]
或许我们都应该祈祷更多的时光[00:03:59]
