[00:00.000] 作曲 : David Stefan Rovics
[00:16.836] When you're working two jobs and living in a tent
[00:20.520] When a house costs a million bucks and you can't pay the rent
[00:24.751] When politicians say they'll help but it keeps getting worse
[00:28.931] Each time the landlord lobby pulls the strings of the purse
[00:33.163] When the human right to housing isn't even part of the debate
[00:36.977] You know you're living in a failed state
[00:40.164]
[00:47.922] When millions of citizens are spending half their lives
[00:52.337] Locked up in a prison for trying to survive
[00:56.490] When laws must be broken just to have a place to stay
[01:00.435] When the prisons pay the senators to look the other way
[01:04.562] If you have to be a criminal to put food upon your plate
[01:08.585] You know you're living in a failed state
[01:11.798]
[01:19.556] When you're facing climate breakdown
[01:21.307] When the trees are all on fire
[01:23.736] When half the country's underwater
[01:25.956] When a climate change denier
[01:29.065] Runs the nation
[01:30.084] And the opposition party votes for oil rigs and pipelines
[01:34.446] This is not so much a country as it is a corporation
[01:39.096] Buckling under its weight
[01:40.245] You know you're living in a failed state
[01:43.537]
[01:51.321] When your nation is an empire facing daily blowback
[01:55.396] And the only thing your leaders can think to do is attack
[01:59.602] Bipartisan consensus that we need to spend
[02:04.304] Seven-hundred billion before the year's end
[02:08.275] On a military budget to 'make America great'
[02:12.010] You know you're living in a failed state
[02:15.145]
[02:23.295] When almost every day some psycho with a gun
[02:27.579] Has to open fire on a crowd before it's done
[02:31.837] When a music festival becomes a free-fire zone
[02:35.808] And all they can say is 'it's okay, he was acting alone'
[02:40.040] Buy some armor, pray to God, and hide behind a gate
[02:43.801] You know you're living in a failed state
[02:50.410] You know you're living in a failed state
[02:56.732] You know you're living in a failed state

[00:16.836] 当你打两份工,却住在帐篷里
[00:20.520] 当房子要花上百万美元,而你付不起房租
[00:24.751] 当政客说他们会帮忙,但情况却越来越糟
[00:28.931] 每一次房东游说团掏出钱袋的时候
[00:33.163] 当住房的人权甚至不是辩论一部分的时候
[00:36.977] 你就知道自己正生活在一个失败国家
[00:40.164]
[00:47.922] 当数以百万计的公民花了半辈子的时间
[00:52.337] 而迫于生存被关进监狱
[00:56.490] 当为了有地方住不得不违反法律
[01:00.435] 当监狱付钱给参议员让他们充耳不闻
[01:04.562] 当你不得不进监狱才有饭吃
[01:08.585] 你就知道自己正生活在一个失败国家
[01:11.798]
[01:19.556] 当你面临气候崩溃
[01:21.307] 当树木都被烧毁
[01:23.736] 当半个国家被洪水淹没
[01:25.956] 当一个否定气候变化的人
[01:29.065] 统治着国家
[01:30.084] 而反对党在忙着为石油钻井和管道投票
[01:34.446] 这与其说是一个国家,不如说是公司
[01:39.096] 它在自己的重压下摇摇欲坠
[01:40.245] 你就知道自己正生活在一个失败国家
[01:43.537]
[01:51.321] 当你的国家是一个帝国,每天面临反抗
[01:55.396] 而领导人唯一能想到的就是到处入侵
[01:59.602] 两党达成共识,我们需要在年底前
[02:04.304] 再花费七千亿美元
[02:08.275] 用于军事预算来 "使美国伟大"
[02:12.010] 你就知道自己正生活在一个失败国家
[02:15.145]
[02:23.295] 当几乎每天都有持枪的疯子
[02:27.579] 必须向人群开火才算完事
[02:31.837] 当音乐节成为一个自由射击场
[02:35.808] 而他们却说 "还好,他没有同伙"
[02:40.040] 而你只能买些护甲,向上帝祈祷,然后躲在家门后
[02:43.801] 你就知道自己正生活在一个失败国家
[02:50.410] 你就知道自己正生活在一个失败国家
[02:56.732] 你就知道自己正生活在一个失败国家
