[00:00:30] //

[00:00:30] These are the days of the open hand

[00:00:35] 这是人们伸出慷慨援手的时代

[00:00:35] They will not be the last

[00:00:38] 它不会就此终止

[00:00:38] Look around now

[00:00:41] 看看你的四周

[00:00:41] These are the days of the beggars and the choosers

[00:00:46] 这个时代充满着乞讨和挑拣的人

[00:00:46] This is the year of the hungry man

[00:00:50] 这是有人饥贫交迫的年代

[00:00:50] Whose place is in the past

[00:00:53] 他们的家园不复存在

[00:00:53] Hand in hand with ignorance

[00:00:57] 手挽手茫然无知

[00:00:57] And legitimate excuses

[00:01:00] 伴着那些合理的借口

[00:01:00] The rich declare themselves poor

[00:01:04] 富人们自称贫穷

[00:01:04] And most of us are not sure

[00:01:08] 而我们中的大部分也并不肯定

[00:01:08] If we have too much

[00:01:10] 是否已拥有了太多

[00:01:10] But we'll take our chances

[00:01:12] 但我们愿意碰碰运气

[00:01:12] 'Cause God's stopped keeping score

[00:01:15] 因为上帝已然有所松懈

[00:01:15] I guess somewhere along the way

[00:01:19] 我猜在某个时刻某个地方

[00:01:19] He must have let us all out to play

[00:01:22] 他定是放任我们外出自由玩耍

[00:01:22] Turned his back and all God's children

[00:01:27] 不留神背过身而所有上帝的孩子们

[00:01:27] Crept out the back door

[00:01:30] 便从后门爬出

[00:01:30] And it's hard to love there's so much to hate

[00:01:37] 太难去爱太多可憎

[00:01:37] Hanging on to hope

[00:01:40] 紧紧握住希望

[00:01:40] When there is no hope to speak of

[00:01:45] 然而已无希望可言

[00:01:45] And the wounded skies above say

[00:01:49] 受伤的天空在上

[00:01:49] It's much too much too late

[00:01:55] 说一切已经太迟

[00:01:55] Well maybe we should all be praying for time

[00:02:28] 那或许我们都应该祈祷多一点时间

[00:02:28] These are the days of the empty hand

[00:02:34] 这是双手空空的时代

[00:02:34] Oh you hold on to what you can

[00:02:37] 而你应该继续做你所能

[00:02:37] And charity is a coat you wear twice a year

[00:02:44] 慈善可以不过是一件你偶尔穿穿的大衣

[00:02:44] This is the year of the guilty man

[00:02:49] 这是罪人们的年代

[00:02:49] Your television takes a stand

[00:02:52] 你的电视也选择了立场

[00:02:52] And you find that what was over there is over here

[00:02:59] 你会发现 发生在那头的也正发生在身旁

[00:02:59] So you scream from behind your door

[00:03:03] 于是你躲在门后嘶声尖叫

[00:03:03] Say what's mine is mine and not yours

[00:03:07] 喊着 我的就是我的 不是你的

[00:03:07] I may have too much but I'll take my chances

[00:03:11] 或许我是拥有了太多 但我愿意碰碰运气

[00:03:11] 'Cause God's stopped keeping score

[00:03:14] 因为上帝已然有所松懈

[00:03:14] And you cling to the things they sold you

[00:03:18] 你紧紧抓住那些他们卖给你的东西

[00:03:18] Did you cover your eyes when they told you

[00:03:21] 你是否遮起了双眼 当他们告诉你

[00:03:21] That he can't come back

[00:03:24] 他再也回不来了

[00:03:24] 'Cause he has no children to come back for

[00:03:29] 因为他的孩子们也已不在

[00:03:29] It's hard to love there's so much to hate

[00:03:36] 太难去爱 太多可憎

[00:03:36] Hanging on to hope when there is no hope to speak of

[00:03:44] 紧握着希望 但已无希望可言

[00:03:44] And the wounded skies above say it's much too late

[00:03:53] 受伤的天空在上说一切已经太迟

[00:03:53] So maybe we should all be praying for time

[00:03:58] 那或许我们都应该祈祷多一点时间
