These are the days of the open hand[00:00:31]
这是人们伸出慷慨援手的时代[00:00:36]
They will not be the last[00:00:36]
它不会就此终止[00:00:39]
Look around now[00:00:39]
看看你的四周[00:00:41]
These are the days of the beggars and the choosers[00:00:41]
这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[00:00:54]
Hand in hand with ignorance[00:00:54]
手挽手 茫然无知[00:00:58]
And legitimate excuses[00:00:58]
伴着那些合理的借口[00:01:02]
The rich declare themselves poor[00:01:02]
富人们自称贫穷[00:01:05]
And most of us are not sure[00:01:05]
而我们大部分人也并不肯定[00:01:09]
If we have too much[00:01:09]
是否已拥有了太多[00:01:11]
But we'll take our chances[00:01:11]
但我们愿意碰碰运气[00:01:13]
'Cause God's stopped keeping score[00:01:13]
因为上帝已然有所松懈[00:01:16]
I guess somewhere along the way[00:01:16]
我猜在某个时刻某个地方[00:01:20]
He must have let us all out to play[00:01:20]
他定然是放任我们外出自由玩耍[00:01:25]
Turned his back and all God's children[00:01:25]
不留神背过身 而所有上帝的孩子们[00:01:29]
Crept out the back door[00:01:29]
便从后门爬出[00:01:32]
And it's hard to love there's so much to hate[00:01:32]
太难去爱 太多可憎[00:01:39]
Hanging on to hope[00:01:39]
紧紧握住希望[00:01:43]
When there is no hope to speak of[00:01:43]
当再无希望可言时[00:01:47]
And the wounded skies above say[00:01:47]
受伤的天空在说[00:01:51]
It's much too much too late[00:01:51]
一切已经太迟太迟[00:01:56]
Well maybe we should all be praying for time[00:01:56]
或许我们都应该向时光祈祷[00:02:31]
These are the days of the empty hand[00:02:31]
这些无为的日子[00:02:35]
Oh you hold on to what you can[00:02:35]
而你应该继续做你所能[00:02:39]
And charity is a coat you wear twice a year[00:02:39]
慈善可以不过是一件你偶尔穿穿的大衣[00:02:46]
This is the year of the guilty man[00:02:46]
这是罪人们的时代[00:02:51]
Your television takes a stand[00:02:51]
连媒体广播都表明立场[00:02:54]
And you find that what was over there is over here[00:02:54]
你会发现发生在那头的也发生在身旁[00:03:02]
So you scream from behind your door[00:03:02]
于是你躲在门后嘶声尖叫[00:03:05]
Say what's mine is mine and not yours[00:03:05]
喊着我的就是我的 不是你的[00:03:09]
I may have too much but I'll take my chances[00:03:09]
或许我拥有了太多但我愿意碰碰运气[00:03:13]
'Cause God's stopped keeping score[00:03:13]
因为上帝已然有所松懈[00:03:16]
And you cling to the things they sold you[00:03:16]
你紧紧抓住那些他们卖给你的东西[00:03:20]
Did you cover your eyes when they told you[00:03:20]
你是否遮起了双眼 当他们告诉你[00:03:24]
That he can't come back[00:03:24]
他再也回不来了[00:03:26]
'Cause he has no children to come back for[00:03:26]
因为他的孩子们也已不在[00:03:32]
It's hard to love there's so much to hate[00:03:32]
太难去爱 太多可憎[00:03:39]
Hanging on to hope when there is no hope to speak of[00:03:39]

And the wounded skies above say it's much too late[00:03:47]

So maybe we should all be praying for time[00:03:56]
