Déjà Vu

If I had been God

I would have rearranged the veins in the face

to make them more resistant to alcohol and less prone to aging

If I had been God
如果我是上帝
I would have sired many sons and
我将会有很多儿子
I would not have suffered the Romans to kill even one of them

If I had been God

With my staff and my rod
拥有智囊团和权力
If I had been given the nod

If I were a drone

Patrolling foreign skies
飞旋于异国天空
With my electronic eyes for guidance

And the element of surprise

I would be afraid to find someone home

Maybe a woman at a stove
也许是一位女人
Baking bread, making rice, or just boiling down some bones
她正在炉灶上烹制着餐饭
If I were a drone
如果我是架无人机
The temple's in ruins
恢宏殿宇化为废墟
The bankers get fat
银行家们大腹便便
The buffalo's gone
而战士们了无踪迹
And the mountain top's flat
山顶已被夷为平地
The trout in the streams are all hermaphrodites
溪流中的鱼群雌雄同体 像是一些人两面三刀
You lean to the left but you vote to the right
你们嘴上支持左派 最后却把票给了右翼
And it feels like déjà vu
这一切似曾相识
The sun goes down and I'm still missing you
日沉西山之际 我仍然怀念着过去
Counting the cost of love that got lost
回忆起往昔 别有一番滋味
And under my Gulf Stream, in circular pools
在这个世界上
There's ninety-nine cents worth of drunkards and fools
大多数人不是在装疯就是在卖傻
