In the Hearts of Men

.
.
In the hearts of men, in the arms of mothers
在人的心裡，在母親的懷抱中
In the parts we play to convince others
當我們嘗試改變別人的時候
We know what we're doing, we're doing it right
我們知道我們在做什麼，我們在做自己認為對的事情
They've written books on the subject
這種經歷或許跟書裡寫的很相似
but then you may still be surprised
或許會讓你感到驚訝
By your tone over the phone to your sister while waiting in line
這是在鎮外的購物市場排隊等候的時候
At the shopping mart just outside of town
通過電話給你妹妹的語氣中得知的
.
.
In the hands of teachers, in the books you read
猶如老師在學校教導我們的一樣
In the things we say when we lost the lead
當失落悲傷的的時候
I still try to speak up but my voice won't make a sound
嘗試著說出來，但我每次都欲言又止
And I thought it all over too many times
我思緒了很久
When there is no use and the lights are all out
當一切都不管用的時候，我覺得自己的世界是灰暗的
I just give it up and I walk home
經過剛剛關閉的購物市場
past the shopping mart that's just closing down
我放棄了，現在該回家了
.

You tell yourself you are, must be what you be
不能如此否定自己，一定要做自己
Who's to say who is who
誰都不能否定你
and what is what if you simply don't agree
如果你自己都不認同那會怎樣呢
Now time will come to claim you and it will have its way
現在時間會來證明你的執念是正確的
Don't make no mistakes, and don't regret
去做自己認為正確的事，不要後悔
Don't waste the time that is left
不要虛度，荒廢光陰
And then do it all with a goddam smile
然後用一個不屑的微笑回擊對你的質疑
