[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 |

[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 |
