- I remember in my younger years
我记得在我小时候
Walking to the city pool
在我去城里游泳池的路上
Got yelled at, called a faggot
经常被人嘲弄 被人叫死基佬
From this kid I knew in school
这个辱骂我的孩子 我在学校里认识的他
His dad, and dad before him
从他爷爷那辈 到他爸爸
Lived outside of town
都是干的离家打工的营生
With a lack of education
他们没受过多少教育
And the options weren't around
所以他们也没得选择
有时候上课我会看到他
Sometimes I'd see that boy in class
常常是鼻青脸肿 眼睛上满是瘀伤
With bruises on his eyes
皮肤通红 起了很大的鼓包
Red and pretty swollen
衣服上撕扯的破洞 是他骄傲的象征
Tears tangled up in pride
重复着记下的花言巧语
Repeating memorized rhetoric
说我们要按上帝的旨意行事
About it being God's way
如果我不遵从《圣经》里说的那样
If I don't follow the Good Book
那我将会付出代价
There'd be some hell to pay
我不会因为你这样而责备你
我知道 人本性难移 习惯难改
I don't blame you how you turned out
也许你生来就是这个样子
A habit's hard to break
而我自己 自然也是这样
You were born into what you became
我可以试着表现我的同情
And I was born this way
在你扣动扳机之前
I can try to show compassion
就在这荒郊野外
Before you take that shot
无论我是否愿意
Out here in the open
派对结束 我独自开车回家
Whether I like it or not
周六那晚 刚刚和朋友分别
我在一处车祸残迹旁放慢了速度
Driving back from a party
就在夜里最寒冷的时候
With friends on a Saturday night
那个叫我死基佬的男孩
I slowed down to a wreckage
此刻躺在地上 已经濒临死亡
In the coldest part of night
他饮酒过度 开着车出了事
That boy who called me faggot
挡风玻璃直接被他的头撞上
Lie bleeding, almost dead
我从驾驶座上把他拖出车来
He wrecked that truck from drinking
告诉他 马上就有人来了
And the windshield met his head
我把手搭上他的胸膛
告诉他 很快就会好起来的
Well I pulled him from the driver seat
当他看清了我的模样
Said help is on its way
我从他的眼神里读懂
Put my hand up upon his chest
他骨子里一直讨厌的这类人
And said it'll be okay
最终拯救了他的生命
When he focused on my likeness
而这之中最讽刺的是
I could see it in his eyes
我笑着告诉他
Everything he'd been taught to hate
你的上帝对你来说可能有些奇怪吧
Would finally save his life
这就是现实 只是你的心无法接受
啜泣之中 他逐渐喘过气来
And the irony about this
他眼神黯淡 眼睛里布满血丝
I told him with a smile
他满是刺青 宣称自由的手
Your God must work in stranger ways
也搭在了我的手上
Than your heart will allow
他让我千万不要怪他 对我的所作所为
He caught his breath between the tears
这些道理 他明白得有一些迟
His eyes bloodshot and dim
我生来是我现在的样子
His rebel-flag, tattooed hand
而你 也有你成长的方式
Holding mine to his
我可以试着表现我的理解
可能我也只能这么做
He said please don't blame me for how I turned out
就在这荒郊野外
I learned a little late
无论我是否认同
I was born into what I became
And you were born this way
I can try to show compassion
That might be all I've got
Out here in the open
Whether I like it or not
