[00:00:31] These are the days of the open hand

[00:00:36] 这是人们伸出慷慨援手的时代

[00:00:36] They will not be the last

[00:00:39] 它不会就此终止

[00:00:39] 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

[00:00:54] 他们的家园不复存在

[00:00:54] Hand in hand with ignorance

[00:00:58] 手挽手 茫然无知

[00:00:58] And legitimate excuses

[00:01:02] 伴着那些合理的借口

[00:01:02] The rich declare themselves poor

[00:01:05] 富人们自称贫穷

[00:01:05] And most of us are not sure

[00:01:09] 而我们大部分人也并不肯定

[00:01:09] If we have too much

[00:01:11] 是否已拥有了太多

[00:01:11] But we'll take our chances

[00:01:13] 但我们愿意碰碰运气

[00:01:13] 'Cause God's stopped keeping score

[00:01:16] 因为上帝已然有所松懈

[00:01:16] I guess somewhere along the way

[00:01:20] 我猜在某个时刻某个地方

[00:01:20] He must have let us all out to play

[00:01:25] 他定然是放任我们外出自由玩耍

[00:01:25] Turned his back and all God's children

[00:01:29] 不留神背过身 而所有上帝的孩子们

[00:01:29] Crept out the back door

[00:01:32] 便从后门爬出

[00:01:32] And it's hard to love there's so much to hate

[00:01:39] 太难去爱 太多可憎

[00:01:39] Hanging on to hope

[00:01:43] 紧紧握住希望

[00:01:43] When there is no hope to speak of

[00:01:47] 当再无希望可言时

[00:01:47] And the wounded skies above say

[00:01:51] 受伤的天空在说

[00:01:51] It's much too much too late

[00:01:56] 一切已经太迟太迟

[00:01:56] Well maybe we should all be praying for time

[00:02:31] 或许我们都应该向时光祈祷

[00:02:31] These are the days of the empty hand

[00:02:35] 这些无为的日子

[00:02:35] Oh you hold on to what you can

[00:02:39] 而你应该继续做你所能

[00:02:39] And charity is a coat you wear twice a year

[00:02:46] 慈善可以不过是一件你偶尔穿穿的大衣

[00:02:46] This is the year of the guilty man

[00:02:51] 这是罪人们的时代

[00:02:51] Your television takes a stand

[00:02:54] 连媒体广播都表明立场

[00:02:54] And you find that what was over there is over here

[00:03:02] 你会发现发生在那头的也发生在身旁

[00:03:02] So you scream from behind your door

[00:03:05] 于是你躲在门后嘶声尖叫

[00:03:05] Say what's mine is mine and not yours

[00:03:09] 喊着我的就是我的 不是你的

[00:03:09] I may have too much but I'll take my chances

[00:03:13] 或许我拥有了太多但我愿意碰碰运气

[00:03:13] 'Cause God's stopped keeping score

[00:03:16] 因为上帝已然有所松懈

[00:03:16] And you cling to the things they sold you

[00:03:20] 你紧紧抓住那些他们卖给你的东西

[00:03:20] Did you cover your eyes when they told you

[00:03:24] 你是否遮起了双眼 当他们告诉你

[00:03:24] That he can't come back

[00:03:26] 他再也回不来了

[00:03:26] 'Cause he has no children to come back for

[00:03:32] 因为他的孩子们也已不在

[00:03:32] It's hard to love there's so much to hate

[00:03:39] 太难去爱 太多可憎

[00:03:39] Hanging on to hope when there is no hope to speak of

[00:03:47] 当已无希望可言的时候还不住地期望

[00:03:47] And the wounded skies above say it's much too late
