- John Mellencamp Pink Houses 歌詞
- John Mellencamp
- There's a black man with a black cat livin' in a black neighborhood
有個黑人養了隻黑貓住在黑人區
He's got an interstate runnin' through his front yard
有一條洲際公路在他的前院穿過
You know he thinks that he's got it so good
他自認為自己別無所求
And there's a woman in the kitchen cleanin' up the evenin' slop
有個女人在廚房清洗晚飯的殘羹
And he looks at her and says, 'Hey darlin', I can remember when
他看著她說親愛的我還記得
you could stop a clock.'
你讓時間停住般迷人的樣子
CHORUS:
那不就是我們一同生活著的美國嗎
Oh but ain't that America for you and me
那不就是美國應有的樣子嗎
Ain't that America somethin' to see baby
那不就是美國嗎自由的家園
Ain't that America home of the free
一間屬於你我的粉紅色房子
Little pink houses for you and me
有個穿著短袖的年輕人
There's a young man in a t-shirt
聽著搖滾樂電台
Listenin' to a rockin' rollin' station
他有著油膩的頭髮虛偽的笑容
He's got greasy hair, greasy smile
他說主啊這一定是我的歸宿
He says, 'Lord this must be my destination.'
因為在我小時候他們就這樣告訴我
'Cause they told me when I was younger
孩子將來你會成為總統
'Boy you 're gonna be president.'
就像所有那些癲狂的舊夢一樣
But just like everything else those old crazy dreams
風水輪流轉
Just kinda came and went
越來越多的人聚到這裡
:|| CHORUS
他們都知道些什麼
在高樓大廈里工作
Well there's people and more people
在墨西哥海灣度假
What do they know know know
Go to work in some high rise
世上有贏家也有輸家
And vacation down at the Gulf of Mexico
但那沒什麼大不了的
Ooh yeah
因為簡單的人會為自己的魯莽付出代價
And ther's winners and there's losers
賬單藥片這些都能置人於死地
But they ain't no big deal
'Cause the simple man baby pays for the thrills, the bills,
the pills that kill
:|| CHORUS<比如>
