These are the days of the open hand[00:00:30]
这是人们伸出慷慨援手的时代[00:00:35]
They will not be the last[00:00:35]
它不会就此终止[00:00:38]
Look around now[00:00:38]
看看你的四周[00:00:41]
These are the days of the beggars and the choosers[00:00:41]
这个时代充满着乞讨和挑拣的人[00:00:46]
This is the year of the hungry man[00:00:46]
这是有人饥贫交迫的年代[00:00:50]
Whose place is in the past[00:00:50]
他们的家园不复存在[00:00:53]
Hand in hand with ignorance[00:00:53]
手挽手茫然无知[00:00:57]
And legitimate excuses[00:00:57]
伴着那些合理的借口[00:01:00]
The rich declare themselves poor[00:01:00]
富人们自称贫穷[00:01:04]
And most of us are not sure[00:01:04]
而我们中的大部分也并不肯定[00:01:08]
If we have too much[00:01:08]
是否已拥有了太多[00:01:10]
But we'll take our chances[00:01:10]
但我们愿意碰碰运气[00:01:12]
'Cause God's stopped keeping score[00:01:12]
因为上帝已然有所松懈[00:01:15]
I guess somewhere along the way[00:01:15]
我猜在某个时刻某个地方[00:01:19]
He must have let us all out to play[00:01:19]
他定是放任我们外出自由玩耍[00:01:22]
Turned his back and all God's children[00:01:22]
不留神背过身而所有上帝的孩子们[00:01:27]
Crept out the back door[00:01:27]
便从后门爬出[00:01:30]
And it's hard to love there's so much to hate[00:01:30]
太难去爱太多可憎[00:01:37]
Hanging on to hope[00:01:37]
紧紧握住希望[00:01:40]
When there is no hope to speak of[00:01:40]
然而已无希望可言[00:01:45]
And the wounded skies above say[00:01:45]
受伤的天空在上[00:01:49]
It's much too much too late[00:01:49]
说一切已经太迟[00:01:55]
Well maybe we should all be praying for time[00:01:55]
那或许我们都应该祈祷多一点时间[00:02:28]
These are the days of the empty hand[00:02:28]
这是双手空空的时代[00:02:34]
Oh you hold on to what you can[00:02:34]
而你应该继续做你所能[00:02:37]
And charity is a coat you wear twice a year[00:02:37]
慈善可以不过是一件你偶尔穿穿的大衣[00:02:44]
This is the year of the guilty man[00:02:44]
这是罪人们的年代[00:02:49]
Your television takes a stand[00:02:49]
你的电视也选择了立场[00:02:52]
And you find that what was over there is over here[00:02:52]
你会发现 发生在那头的也正发生在身旁[00:02:59]
So you scream from behind your door[00:02:59]
于是你躲在门后嘶声尖叫[00:03:03]
Say what's mine is mine and not yours[00:03:03]
喊着 我的就是我的 不是你的[00:03:07]
I may have too much but I'll take my chances[00:03:07]
或许我是拥有了太多 但我愿意碰碰运气[00:03:11]
'Cause God's stopped keeping score[00:03:11]
因为上帝已然有所松懈[00:03:14]
And you cling to the things they sold you[00:03:14]
你紧紧抓住那些他们卖给你的东西[00:03:18]
Did you cover your eyes when they told you[00:03:18]
你是否遮起了双眼 当他们告诉你[00:03:21]
That he can't come back[00:03:21]
他再也回不来了[00:03:24]
'Cause he has no children to come back for[00:03:24]
因为他的孩子们也已不在[00:03:29]
It's hard to love there's so much to hate[00:03:29]
太难去爱 太多可憎[00:03:36]
Hanging on to hope when there is no hope to speak of[00:03:36]
紧握着希望 但已无希望可言[00:03:44]
And the wounded skies above say it's much too late[00:03:44]
受伤的天空在上说一切已经太迟[00:03:53]
So maybe we should all be praying for time[00:03:53]
那或许我们都应该祈祷多一点时间[00:03:58]
