Randy Newman - A Few Words in Defense of Our Country

I’d like to say a few words
In defense of our country
Now the leaders we have
While they’re the worst that we’ve had
Are hardly the worst this poor world has seen

Take the Caesars for example
Why within the first few of them
They were sleeping with their sister
Stashing little boys in swimming pools
And burning down the City
And one of ‘em, one of 'em
Appointed his own horse Consul of the Empire
That’s like vice president or something
That’s not a very good example, is it?
I don’t even like to think about it
Well, sometimes I like to think about it

Just a few words in defense of our country
Could be coming to an end
Now we don’t want their love
But in times like these
We sure could use a friend

Hitler. Stalin.
Men who need no introduction
Everyone thinks he’s so great
Well he owned The Congo
He tore it up too
He took the diamonds, he took the gold
He took the silver
Know what he left them with?
Malaria

A President once said,
"The only thing we have to fear is fear itself"
Now it seems like we’re supposed to be afraid
It’s patriotic in fact and color coded
And what are we supposed to be afraid of?
Why, of being afraid
That’s what terror means, doesn’t it?
That’s what it used to mean

You know it pisses me off a little
That this Supreme Court is gonna outlive me
A couple of young Italian fellas
and a brother on the Court now too
But I defy you, anywhere in the world
To find me two Italians as tightass as the two Italians we got
And as for the brother
Well, Pluto’s not a planet anymore either

The end of an empire is messy at best
And this empire is ending
Like all the rest
We’re adrift in the land of the brave
And the home of the free
Goodbye. Goodbye. Goodbye.

🌍 纯翻译歌词

Randy Newman - 为我们的国家辩护几句(现场版)

我想说几句话
为我们的国家辩护
这里的人民既不坏也不刻薄
虽然现在的领导人
是我们有过最糟的一届
但比起这悲惨世界曾见过的还算体面

就拿凯撒们举例
最初那几位统治者
不仅与姐妹乱伦
还把男童藏进泳池
更纵火烧毁罗马城
其中有个荒唐家伙
竟封自己的马当帝国执政官
相当于副总统之类的
这例子好像不太恰当对吧?
等等 还有西班牙宗教裁判所
他们把人们逼入绝境
我都不愿去想象
好吧 有时我又忍不住回想

只为我们的国家辩护几句
它称霸世界的时光
或许即将终结
如今我们不奢求他国爱戴
尊重也早已无从谈起
但在这种时刻
我们真需要个朋友

希特勒 斯大林
这些无需介绍的暴君
比利时利奥波德国王 没错
世人都赞他英明
可他强占刚果时
把那片土地撕碎
掠走钻石 黄金
和白银
知道留下什么吗?
疟疾

有位总统曾说
"我们唯一恐惧的就是恐惧本身"
如今恐惧却成了
爱国的表现 还分颜色预警
我们究竟在害怕什么?
怕的就是恐惧本身
这不就是恐怖的定义?
至少曾经是的

真让我有点恼火
最高法院那帮人会比我长寿
两个意大利裔小伙
现在还有个黑人法官
但我敢说全世界
找不出比我们更顽固的意大利人
至于那位黑人法官
就像冥王星被踢出行星行列

帝国衰亡总是狼狈不堪
而这个帝国正在
步所有前辈后尘
像无敌舰队漂泊海上
我们在勇敢者之地
自由之乡漂泊
再见 再见 再见
