Yeah
是的
Lemonade to the brim, key, sippin' out my glass
柠檬水溢出来了,快把我的那杯喝掉
Listening the people talk, watching people pass
听着人们谈话,看着人们走过
I never understood why we act the way we do
我一直不明白我们为什么会这样做
Talkin bout our riches and watches and new shoes
谈论我们的财富,手表和新鞋
Like no one really cares, maybe first world citizens
好像没人真的在乎,也许是第一世界的公民
While other children in the world keep on shivering
而世界上的其他孩子仍在颤抖
We stand and watch, only give them what we littering
我们站着看,只给他们我们扔掉不要的东西
Sin inside our hearts slowly, burning us to smithereens
罪恶在我们心中慢慢地燃烧,把我们烧成碎片
Yeah
是的
I wanna move out of this country
我想离开这个国家
Stuffin' out my mouth, while these other people are hungry
在别人饿的时候,我却在嘴里吃东西
Sick of this me, uh, sick and in a sea
我受够了,在大海里受够了
When the kingdom finally come, we the villains on the scene, man
当王国最终来临的时候,我们这些恶棍就会出现
I don't wanna be, and neither do you
我不想,你也不想
Cause we aint doing our best and you know that is the truth
因为我们没有尽力而为,你知道那是事实
So let's stop, and give praise to the lord
所以让我们停下来,赞美上帝
Yesterday is in the past, and tomorrow we'll move forward
昨天已经过去,明天我们将继续前进
You say, I'm rich and wealthy
你说我十分富有
But surely you are unhealthy
但你肯定是不健康的
You're pitiful, blind, poor, all of your treasures are melting
你可怜、盲目、贫穷,你所有的财富都在消逝
Come buy my gold, become rich
来买我的金子,变得富有
I'll dress you in white clothes to cover all of your sins
我会给你穿上白色的衣服来掩盖你所有的罪恶
Cause godliness with Contentment is great gain
因为知足常乐是最大的收获
Never could accumulatin' wealth give you a great name
财富的积累永远不会给你带来好名声
The envy and greed that you feel when you need
当你觉得有需要时的嫉妒和贪婪
More you fall in love with the money, the root of all evil
你越是爱上了金钱,万恶之源
Our material desires are those of the wanting mind
我们的物质欲望来自于渴望的心灵
So even with more, we never feel satisfied
所以即使拥有再多,我们也不会感到满足
The things we buy to pacify, the empty feelin' inside
我们买东西来安抚内心空虚的感觉
As if, man made things will help us feel alive
就好像人造的东西会让我们觉得自己还活着
I realized my religion was materialism
我意识到我的信仰是唯物主义
Not realizing God gave, so i could be a giver
没有意识到上帝给予了我,所以我可以成为一个给予者
It's not for me to live in luxury, but to live more brotherly
我不是要过奢侈的生活,而是要过得更平淡一些
To be able to give cheerfully, when my brother need
当我的兄弟需要时,我能快乐地给予
Aint it envy and greed that makes a man bust guns?
难道不是嫉妒和贪婪使人缴械吗?
We worry bout trust funds, but we can't trust funds
我们担忧信仰的基石,但我们不能完全相信
Put your trust in God above, cause it's him who loves
把你对上帝的信任放在首位,因为他普爱众生
Your true worth is not defined by dollar signs that you touch
你真正的价值不是由你触摸到的美元符号来定义的
Now i aint jokin', everybody's broken
我不是在开玩笑,每个人都崩溃了
It can get dark with the sin that we soaked in
我们沉浸的罪恶可能会变得黑暗
So we gotta reach out, find the right path
所以我们必须伸出援手,找到正确的道路
If a brother's falling down, then you better lend a hand, uh
如果有兄弟倒下了,你最好帮帮忙
God is good, and we are not
上帝慈悲为怀,而我们不是
Soon enough all our bodies gonna rot
很快我们的身体就会腐烂
Yeah this life on earth is not what we want
是的,这种生活到底不是我们想要的
So give all you got to get to heaven when you gone
所以当你离开时,尽你所能去天堂
