[00:40.45] Well it's not so easy now
[00:42.45] Though it never was back then
[00:44.56] We still can't seem to work this out
[00:47.89] But you can still pretend
[00:50.91] And these tattered walls and burning bridges
[00:52.85] Quickly start to fall
[00:55.01] How long until there's nothing left at all?
[00:58.76]
[00:59.20] I've been to California, man
[01:00.87] I've seen them city lights
[01:03.01] Been stranded in the desert
[01:05.95] Scorching days and freezing nights
[01:09.13] I'll never understand
[01:10.78] Why people try to walk so tall
[01:13.40] How long until there's nothing left at all?
[01:16.75]
[01:17.06] Don't you love what you got used to?
[01:20.88] When we used to feel so free
[01:25.09] Won't you wait a while in silence, love
[01:29.59] Watch it fall with me
[01:35.55]
[01:55.45] Well the old men said the great big apple
[01:58.24] Is rotten to the core
[02:01.66] With Wall Street skimming from the till
[02:03.47] While no one minds the store
[02:06.90] And how could someone get so low
[02:08.72] In a building so damn tall?
[02:10.84] How long until there's nothing left at all?
[02:14.35]
[02:15.10] While chunks the size of Delaware
[02:16.83] Are falling off the poles
[02:19.33] Our heads are buried in the sand
[02:21.90] Our leaders dug the hole
[02:25.15] Like junkies hooked on fossil fuel
[02:27.08] Headin' for withdrawal
[02:29.05] How long until there's nothing left at all?
[02:32.67]
[02:32.97] Don't you love what you got used to?
[02:36.68] When we used to feel so free
[02:40.61] Come and wait a while in silence, love
[02:45.06] And watch it fall with me
[02:49.29]
[03:29.95] Now the answers in our heads
[03:31.62] To the questions that were asked
[03:34.13] It boils up from underground
[03:37.01] And leads us to the past
[03:40.06] To a place that's long forgotten
[03:41.89] When we had enough for all
[03:44.41] How long until there's nothing left at all?
[03:47.75]
[04:06.65] Don't you love what you got used to?
[04:10.62] When we try to make our stand
[04:14.41] The hourglass is growing empty now
[04:18.71] Just to leave a pile of sand (Watch it fall)
歌词翻译
[00:40.45] 如今一切不再轻松
[00:42.45] 尽管往日也从未简单
[00:44.56] 我们始终无法化解矛盾
[00:47.89] 你却仍可假装无恙
[00:50.91] 这些残垣断壁与焚毁的桥梁
[00:52.85] 正迅速崩塌瓦解
[00:55.01] 还要多久便会彻底消亡?
[00:58.76]
[00:59.20] 我曾踏足加州 朋友
[01:00.87] 见证都市霓虹璀璨
[01:03.01] 也曾困于荒漠之中
[01:05.95] 历经烈日灼昼与冰封之夜
[01:09.13] 我永远无法理解
[01:10.78] 为何人们总要故作高傲
[01:13.40] 还要多久便会彻底消亡?
[01:16.75]
[01:17.06] 难道你不爱这习以为常的一切吗?
[01:20.88] 当我们还拥有自由的感觉
[01:25.09] 亲爱的 可否与我静默相伴
[01:29.59] 共同目睹繁华落尽
[01:35.55]
[01:55.45] 老者曾说这颗"大苹果"
[01:58.24] 内核早已腐烂殆尽
[02:01.66] 华尔街从钱柜偷捞油水
[02:03.47] 却无人看守店铺
[02:06.90] 摩天大楼耸入云霄
[02:08.72] 人心怎能如此卑劣?
[02:10.84] 还要多久便会彻底消亡?
[02:14.35]
[02:15.10] 当冰川崩解 碎块大如特拉华州
[02:16.83] 从极地纷纷坠落
[02:19.33] 我们却将头埋入沙土
[02:21.90] 领袖们亲手挖掘坟墓
[02:25.15] 如同沉迷化石燃料的瘾君子
[02:27.08] 正面临戒断的痛苦
[02:29.05] 还要多久便会彻底消亡?
[02:32.67]
[02:32.97] 难道你不爱这习以为常的一切吗?
[02:36.68] 当我们还拥有自由的感觉
[02:40.61] 亲爱的 来与我静默相伴
[02:45.06] 共同目睹繁华落尽
[02:49.29]
[03:29.95] 如今答案已在脑海浮现
[03:31.62] 回应过往所有诘问
[03:34.13] 它从地底沸腾涌动
[03:37.01] 引领我们回溯往昔
[03:40.06] 重返被遗忘的旧日时光
[03:41.89] 当资源尚能普惠众生
[03:44.41] 还要多久便会彻底消亡?
[03:47.75]
[04:06.65] 难道你不爱这习以为常的一切吗?
[04:10.62] 当我们试图坚守立场
[04:14.41] 沙漏即将流尽最后颗粒
[04:18.71] 唯余沙堆寂寂无声(静观其陨落)
