Something to Believe In的歌词
Well I see him on the TV
Preachin' 'bout the promised land
我看见他在电视上 布道着那片乐土
He tells me to believe in Jesus
And steals the money from my hand
他叫我信上帝 还从我手中偷走钱财
Some say he was a good man
But Lord I think he sinned, yeah
有人说他是个好人 但 主啊 我想他有罪
Twenty-two years of mental tears
二十二年的悲哀
Cries a suicidal Vietnam vet
Who fought a losing war on a foreign shore
为一个在国外苦苦同败仗挣扎的自杀式越南兵恸哭
To find his country didn't want him back
去寻回他那难以归还的家国
Their bullets took his best friend in Saigon
他的死党在西贡被子弹刺穿
Our lawyers took his wife and kids, no regrets
我们的律师义无反顾带走他的亲人
In a time I don't remember
在一个我记不得的时刻
In a war he can't forget
在一场他永生难忘的战争
He cried
他痛哭
Forgive me for what I've done there
Cause I never meant the things I did
原谅我的所为 因为我绝无刻意而为
Chorus:
And give me something to believe in
给我信仰
If there's a Lord above
若是举头三尺有神明
And give me something to believe in
给我信仰
Oh, Lord arise
噢 神啊
My best friend died a lonely man
In some Palm Springs hotel room
我最好的朋友在棕榈泉的客房里孤独死去
I got the call last Christmas Eve
去年平安夜我接到电话
And they told me the news
他们告诉我这个消息
I tried all night not to break down and cry
我努力整夜不去哭泣
As the tears rolled down my face
当泪水划过面庞
I felt so cold and empty
如此冰冷空虚
Like a lost soul out of place
如同不得其所的灵魂
And the mirror, mirror on the wall
Sees my smile it fades again
墙上的镜子见证我的微笑再次不见
Chorus
Sometimes I wish to God I didn't know now
The things I didn't know then
Road you gotta take me home
有时我祈祷什么也不知道 接着沿着路回到家
Solo
I drive by the homeless sleeping on a cold dark street
我带着流离失所的困倦开进一条刺骨阴暗的街
Like bodies in an open grave
像是尸体放于一口敞开的坟墓
Underneath the broken old neon sign
在破烂的霓虹灯下
That used to read JESUS SAVES
常常读作 耶稣保佑
A mile away live the rich folks
一英里外是富人区
And I see how they're living it up
我看到他们尽情狂欢
While the poor they eat from hand to mouth
当穷人只能用手喂食时
The rich is drinkin' from a golden cup
富人用着金杯畅饮
And it just makes me wonder
Why so many lose, so few win
我只是不明白 为什么苦难多安乐少
Chorus
You take the high road
And I'll take the low road
我们分道扬镳
Yes Sometimes I wish I didn't know now
The things I didn't know then
And give me something to believe in
Preachin' 'bout the promised land
我看见他在电视上 布道着那片乐土
He tells me to believe in Jesus
And steals the money from my hand
他叫我信上帝 还从我手中偷走钱财
Some say he was a good man
