Fools - The Dodos

Our fathers have been entangled in things
父親經常糾纏於過去：
Hes been squandering, hes been squandering
我一事無成，我大好人生被浪費了
And we dont do a thing, cause were busy and think
不是因為我什麼也不做而是因為我們忙著思考
Were just wandering, were just a-wandering like fools
我只會幻想，像個傻瓜一樣
His son is his prize, he tells a few lies
父親把希望寄託在孩子身上，他對孩子撒謊
Hes got his fathers eyes, its in his fathers eyes
而他早就從他父親的眼中找到原因了
And he thinks in his mind that hes just getting by
父親知道為什麼他只是不願意接受
But hes a compromise, hes just a compromising fool
父親只會妥協，他只是一個妥協的傻瓜
And the stance that we take isnt much to bear
如果我們的立場不堅定
Yeah, we leave things to change on their time
我們任由時間流逝卻什麼也不做
And our failure to care for it leaves us blind
妥協只會讓我們盲目
til were tired and were crazed in the mind
直到我們疲憊而瘋狂

他也對父親撒謊道：
Now he lies on his back, and they tell him its that
這是心病
Its just a heart attack, its just a heart attack
一切都太晚了，你所失去的
Too late to return to the ones that youve earned
不會再回來了，不會再回來了
No they dont give it back, no they dont give it back to fools
如果我們的立場不堅定

我們任由時間流逝卻什麼也不做
And the stance that we take isnt much to bear
妥協只會讓我們盲目
Yeah, we leave things to change on their time
直到我們勞累而瘋狂
And our failure to care for it leaves us blind
父親沉默了
til were tired and were crazed in the mind
Ive been, Ive been silent
