歌曲歌詞
Songs Title:subcity
地下城
People say it doesnt exist
人們說它不存在
cause no one would like to admit
因為沒有人願意承認
That there is a city underground
有一個在低下的城市
Where people live everyday
人們每日在那裡生活
Off the waste and decay
不會被廢棄不會衰退
Off the discards of their fellow man
不會被他們的神遺棄
Here in subcity life is hard
如今在地下城生活很艱難
We cant receive any government relief
我們得不到任何政府的救濟
Id like to please give mr president my honest regards
我真想給總統先生最誠摯的慰問
For disregarding me
因為不僅關於我
They say theres too much crime in these city streets
人們說每天街上有太多的犯罪
My sentiments exactly
我認為
Government and big business hold the purse strings
政府和大企業讓老百姓的錢包縮緊
When I worked I worked in the factories
當我在工廠工作
Im at the mercy of the world
我在世界的同情下
I guess Im lucky to be alive
我想我還是幸運的我活著
They say weve fallen through the cracks
他們說石塊從裂縫墜落
They say the system works
他們說是系統的問題
But we wont let it
但是我們不這么認為
Help
系統會有幫助
I guess they never stop to think
我想他們從來未停止思考
We might not just want handouts
我們不只是想要有錢
But a way to make an honest living
我們想要一個殷實的生活
Living this aint living
民不聊生
What did I do deserve this
我該做些什麼
Had my trust in god
相信神嗎
Worked everyday of my life
日夜不停的工作
Thought I had some guarantees
原以為我的到了些保證
Thats what I thought
那也只是我的空想罷了
At least thats what I thought
只少我在想
Last night I had another restless sleep
昨夜又是一個無眠的夜
Wondering what tomorrow might bring
在想明天會發生什麼
Last night I dreamed
昨夜我夢到
A cold blue light was shining down on me
一道冰涼的藍光照在我身上
I screamed myself awake
我被自己嚇醒
Thought I must be dying
我以為我死了
Thought I must be dying
我以為我死了
