making A killing
(Intro)
引入
Theres absolutely no trick to looking back on the great injustices of our time
回望我們的過去許多不公的歷史絕對不是件難事
And condemning them, we understand that , weve got that
譴責它也是同樣,我們理解,我們知道
The trick is always to look at what were doing today
問題是,我們怎麼認知今天的自己正在做什麼
As if were at some point in the future looking back
就好像到了未來的某個節點,未來的人們回首我們
And figure out what the oppressions and the injustices are
並且發現,
That were committing today
我們所受到的各種壓迫與不公
And to get them out of our lives
並且掙扎著將它們驅逐出我們的生活
(Chorus: Thea Alana)
Heaven said no
在你背棄你的家人時
When you knocked out the door
天堂也背棄了你
Your fire could kill a child and a mom
你的怒火可以摧毀你的母親和你自己
Heaven said no
當你將你的槍口對准他人時
When you pointed your gun
地獄的惡魔也對準了你
Your face could make the joker wake up
你的憤容喚醒了你心中的小丑(惡魔)
(Verse 1: Vinnie Paz)
Do you have compassion for everything alive?
你對世上所有的活物都有同情之心嗎?
Or animals dont matter to you, they can be deprived
或者其它動物無關緊要,他們可以隨意被剝削?
Animals are individuals and have feelings too
動物也是有感情的個體
They feel loneliness and happiness like people do
它們像人一樣會悲會喜
25 billion killed every year
每年有2500萬動物死於殺戮
The average person culpable for 90 plus a year
如果換成人,每個人都可以被判刑監禁90年
Overcrowded stalls, cages, and crates
擠滿了動物們的貨架、鐵籠、箱篋
No sunlight, no grass under their feet
動物們沒有陽光照耀,腳下沒有草地
They breathe, and they think, and they feel
它們也和人一般呼吸、思考、有感受
But we feast, and we drink, and we kill
但是我們狼吞、我們虎咽、我們不斷地殺戮
Factory farms inject stimulants and hormones
那些牛,那些豬
Theyre fed other cows, theyre fed hog bones
工廠和農莊向它們注射激素
Hundreds of thousands are poisoned and blinded
千萬動物被荼毒
To test cosmetics for the small, small minded
被拿去測試化妝品,就為了那些淺薄之人
The rain forests being destroyed to raise cattle
為了養牛,多少雨林被毀壞
Wildlife habitat became the battle
動物只好為了生存不斷搶奪棲息地
They spray farms with herbicides and pesticides
他們還使用除草劑和農藥
You know how much poison is in insecticides?
你們知道殺蟲劑裡面又有多少毒素嗎?
The same chemicals destroy topsoil
這些毒素破壞表層土壤
And leak into the ground and turn the ocean into oil
讓大海臟如原油
Genetically manipulated to grow larger
為了產量和體型更大,它們被基因改造
Only to be led to the slaughter
最後只能落得死亡的下場
I dont see it as being a conquest
我不認為這是一項多麼偉大的任務
But people need to fight while theres still time left
但是現在保護他們還為時不晚
(Chorus: Thea Alana)
Heaven said no
在你遠離了你的家人時
When you knocked out the door
天堂也遠離了你
Your fire could kill a child and a mom
你的怒火可以讓母親心碎,也可以毀滅自己
Heaven said no
當你準備帶走他人生命時
When you pointed your gun
地獄也準備帶走你
Your face could make the joker wake up
你的憤容喚醒了你心中的小丑(惡魔)
(Verse 2: Vinnie Paz)
Crash and combine the crates and tear them by the neck
動物們被裝進箱中,最後被屠夫割喉
They cant move their bodies and they could starve to death
箱中它們不能動彈,它們可能餓死
They bang their heads from the psychological distress
因為心中的困苦,無助地用頭敲擊著箱壁
Hellish conditions, thats not what I would call respect
條件糟糕的屠宰場,我不認為這是對動物們的尊重
Would you do that to your dog or your cat?
你會這樣對待你自家的小貓小狗嗎?
Do you reallysee the difference in a frog or a rat?
你是否對所有動物都一視同仁?
Whats sacred to you here might not be sacred in Tibet
一個地方所敬仰的動物,在另一個地方或許骯髒
So who are you to say what should be eaten or a pet
那麼你來說說哪種動物該被吃,那種動物該當成寵物
Its a revolving door and it turn
風水輪流轉
You cant differentiate between the moral concern
你不能用所謂的道德觀念來區分它們
An agitated pig might bite each others tails
就因為煩躁的豬會咬其他豬的尾巴
So they hack it off at birth and then they lead it into hell
所以養殖場在它們出生時便將它們的尾部砍掉
Chicken beaks are seared off by farmers
農場裡的人鋸掉雞的喙
But they call it debeaking, I call it torture
美言曰“去喙”,我認為這就是虐待
Boiled alive, you dont think its karma?
活生生被燙熟,你覺得這是它們活該嗎?
Money come before mercy, thats the mantra
利益永遠高於同情,這才是他們的準則
Cows give birth, their calfs are separated
牛生下孩子,它們被迫分離
Factory workers are either scared or theyre jaded
工廠的人要么細思恐極,要么習以為常
The leather industry is tied to the meat industry
皮革工業緊緊依靠著肉類加工業
Inextricably theyre both responsible for misery
這兩大產業都要為之負責
A non-meat diet can slow the process of aging
一頓全素餐可以減緩衰老
Avoid toxic food , contaminants, and enslavement
減少被毒害的風險,又能讓更多動物自由生活
Reduce global warming and end world hunger
減慢全球變暖,並且可能結束世界飢餓問題
So think about it next time you sit down for supper
所以在你下次坐下吃飯前好好想想
(Chorus: Thea Alana)
Heaven said no
當你厭惡你的家人時
When you knocked out the door
天堂也厭惡你
Your fire could kill a child and a mom
你的憤怒摧毀著你自己
Heaven said no
當你準備扣下扳機時
When you pointed your gun
地獄也準備永遠扣住你
Your facecould make the joker wake up
你的憤容喚醒了你心中的小丑(惡魔)
