英语流行歌曲：Green Day - MACY`S DAY PARADE

Green Day - MACY`S DAY PARADE

Today's the Macy's Day Parade
今天是Macy超市的感恩节游行

The night of the living dead is on its way
亡灵游荡的夜晚正要到来
With a credit report for a duty call
他们用信用报告反馈着任务
It's a lifetime guarantee
这是终身所要履行的承诺

Stuffed in a coffin¹ "10% more free"
（他们）被装进一个狭小的棺材里
Red light special at the mausoleum
陵墓里的红灯看上去显得很特别

（下面这段本人认为应该是亡灵所说的话）

Give me something that I need
给我一些需要的东西吧
Satisfaction guaranteed to you
我保证会报答你的
What's the consolation² prize?
但又有什么可以让我得到安慰呢

Economy sized dreams of hope
钱早已限制了美好的梦想

When I was a kid I thought
当我还是一个孩子的时候我以为
I wanted all the things that I haven't got
我可以得到所有不曾得到的东西
Oh, but I learned the hardest way
哦，但我却四处碰壁

Then I realized what it took
然后我意识到要付出多大代价
To tell the difference between Thieves and crooks³
才能分辨出小偷和骗子
When all along it was me and you
当最终只剩下了我和你之时

Give me something that I need
给我一些需要的东西吧
Satisfaction guaranteed
我保证会报答你的
Because I'm thinking about a brand new hope
因为我在憧憬着一个全新的希望
The one I've never known
一条我从未看清的路
`cause now I know
因为现在我已知道

It's all that I wanted
这才是我所需要的全部

What's the consolation prize?
但又有什么可以让我得到安慰呢
