Wind Up

When I was young and they packed me off to school
當我還小的時候,他們把我打發到主日學校去
And they taught me how not to play the game
接著教導我怎樣變得虛偽狡詐
I didnt mind if they groomed me for success
我不在意他們能否成功地培養我
Or if they said that I was just a fool.
或是把我當成傻瓜看待
So I left there in the morning
於是在一個清晨,我離開了這裡
With their God tucked underneath my arm
並把他們的上帝夾在了我的胳膊下面
Their half-assed smiles and the book of rules
想起了他們低能的笑容與寫滿規章條例的課本
And I asked this God a question
我向這位上帝提了個問題
And by way of firm reply
並得到了一份堅定的回复
He said, 'Im not the kind you have to wind up on Sundays'
他說,我不是那種每週日都需要被上緊發條的神靈
So to my old headmaster (and to anyone who cares)
所以對於我的老校長(還有任何對教會負責的人)
Before Im through Id like to say my prayers
在我說完我想要說的禱言之前
I dont believe you
我不會相信你們
You have the whole damn thing all wrong
你們把整件事都搞錯了
Hes not the kind you have to wind up on Sundays.
他不是那種每週日都要被上緊一遍發條的神靈
Well , you can excommunicate me on my way to Sunday school
是的,你們可以在我前往主日學校的途中將我逐出教會
And have all the bishops harmonize these lines
並且讓所有的主教用和聲吟誦這些鬼話
How do you dare to tell me that Im my Fathers son?
你們怎麼敢聲稱我是我父親的兒子?
When that was just an accident of birth
我的出生僅僅是一場意外
Id rather look around me, compose a better song
我寧可回視自己,作一首更好的曲子
Cos thats the honest measure of my worth
因為這才是我衡量自身價值的可靠方法
In your pomp and all your glory youre a poorer man than me
在你所有的榮譽與浮華外表下邊,你是個比我還可憐的人
As you lick the boots of death born out of fear
當你出於恐懼而舔舐死神的靴子的時候
When I was young and they packed me off to school
當我還小的時候,他們把我打發到主日學校去
