Perfect Way To Die
Simple walk to the corner store
照常無奇的一天行走於舊跡
Momma never thought she would be getting a call from the coroner
那位母親不曾料到
Said her son's been gunned down, been gunned down
她的孩子已被槍殺
'Can you come now?'
“你能趕過來嗎”
Tears in her eyes, 'Can you calm down?
她已淚眼濕透那邊說著“冷靜點”
Please, ma'am, can you calm down?'
“你不能失控啊”
But it rained fire in the city that day
They say
那日天如火硝
A river of blood in the streets
人們傳言道
No love in the streets
血河染紅了整條街
And then came silence in the city that day
沒有絲毫愛的溫意
They say
隨後冷清充斥了這個城市
Just another one gone
他們說啊
And they tell her, 'Move on'
生死離別乃常事
And she's stuck there singing
讓她“往前看吧”
Baby, don't you close your eyes
她一動不動放聲歌唱道
This could be our final time
And you know I'm horrible at saying goodbye
我的寶貝你倒是睜眼啊
And I think of all you could' ve done
讓我見你最後一面
At least you'll stay forever young
你也知道我不捨告別啊
I guess you've picked the perfect way to die
腦子裡都是你尚未完成的事
Ooh, I guess you picked the perfect way to die
唉你至少能免受老去的痛
New job, new city, new her
你概是選擇了最舒適的解脫
Bright eyes, you would've been proud if you knew her
如此年輕便消逝於世你概是得多於失的
Flashing lights in the mirror , pull over, pull over
A couple nights in detention then it's over
她現已重獲新生來到另一個城市重尋歸所
Her whole life's over
但凡是知道她的遭遇都會為她欣喜
They came marching in the city that day
眼前燈亮若隱若現
They say
有時於深夜殤存但希望還是破滅了
Carrying signs in the streets
她的人生慘淡告終
Crying eyes in the street
But they heard nothing from the city that day
遊行毅然爆發
They say
人們說啊
Just another one gone
舉著標語行走在街頭
And the city moves on
千萬人濕透雙眼
We're stuck here singing
但政府沒有任何響應
Baby, don't you close your eyes
大家都說
'Cause this could be our final time
又一個英雄倒下了
And you know I 'm horrible at saying goodbye
不能再失去更多人
And I think of all you could've done
我們於此呼喊
At least you'll stay forever young
I guess you've picked the perfect way to die
別屈服啊親愛的
Oh, I guess you picked the perfect way to die
讓我們再見一次
Another dream lost
我實在不願再經歷離別
Another king and queen lost
你本是前途無量啊
Another broken promise they refuse to make right
唉你至少能免受老去的痛
Oh , another night to live in fear
你概是選擇了最舒適的解脫
Oh, another night that you're not here
如此年輕便消逝於世你概是得多於失的
Another reason to get out there and fight
But I say
又一次夢想破滅
Baby, don't you close your eyes
當政者再次失信
'Cause this could be our final time
為何總是食言不願公事公辦
And you know I'm horrible at saying goodbye
今夜又將擔驚受怕
And I think of all you could've done
今夜又將失去另一個他
At least you'll stay forever young
我們還將為此掙扎奮戰
I guess you've picked the perfect way to die
Ooh, I guess you picked the perfect way to die
