Think Before You Drink

As a child I had no knowledge
小時候我一無所知
No way to understand
無法理解世間百態
My father kept me sheltered
父親是我的避風港
He would hold me in his hand
視我為掌上明珠

如你所知我被很好的保護著
You know I was protected
什麼都傷不了我
With no threat from anywhere
我吮吸著母親的乳汁
I drank my mother's milk
對一切都漠不關心
And I didn't have a care
但我注定要離開這溫柔鄉

不久我被送進學校
But it didn't last forever
在那裡老師灌我喝毒藥
I was soon sent off to school
而天真的我一飲而下
Where the teachers gave me poison
我們曾為那過去的輝煌驕傲
And I drank it like a fool
領袖們聲稱他們浴血奮戰

只為證明那些在戰爭中
We took pride in our past
屠殺兒童的劊子手的正義凜然
What our leaders said they fought for
他們說那些婦人之仁
To justify the murders
在剛需面前不值一線
Of the children in the war
他們為骯髒的工廠，惡臭的溪水辯白

他們給了我們一切所謂的真相
They said that mother nature
在金融危機面前顛倒黑白
Couldn't give us what we need
我像白痴一樣洗耳恭聽
And that explained the factories, and pollution in the stream
但我再也不會任由他們混淆視聽

所以在最後的屠殺之前
They gave us all the facts
請停下來想一想
Explaining economic war
你能鞭策一匹馬到水邊
And like a fool I listened
但你不能逼它飲水
But I won't listen anymore
所以在末日之前

請停下來好好想想
So before the final slaughter
你能鞭笞我的血肉之軀
Please stop and think
卻動搖不了我自由的靈魂
You can lead a horse to water
But you cannot make it drink

So before the final slaughter
Please stop and think
You can lead a horse to water
But you cannot make it drink
