- The world's not what it used to be
[lr:Shel Silverstein]
In love or war or industry.
[co:Shel Silverstein]
We face the harsh reality
世界已不再是過去的樣子了，
That this sweet land of liberty
無論是愛情，戰爭還是工業。
Now contemplates eternity
我們必鬚麵對殘酷的現實：
Plugged into electricity
這片自由的土地
And programmed by technology
正在考慮永恆地
For maximum efficiency.
接在電路上，
For instance, see
一切由電腦程序來安排，
What happened to me...
為了效率最大化。
When I went down to the factory,
舉個例子，就比如說
I said, 'Hey, you got any job for me?'
在我身上發生的事……
They said, 'Son, the days of the workin' man are
那天我去工廠的時候，
Dead and gone!'
我問他們：“嗨，有什麼我能幹的活嗎？”
They said, 'The computer now does everything,
他們卻說：“小子，人工的時代
But there does happen to be one opening
早就已經結束了！ ”
For the man who'll turn the damn thing off and on.'
他們告訴我：“現在電腦啥都能幹，
Now I'm the man who turns the damn thing off and on .
不過剛好，的確得有個開頭，
I give it a twist in the evening like this
得讓某人負責每天把那玩意打開和關上。”
And a little bitty flick at dawn.
現在我就是負責把那破玩意打開和關上的人。
I know I should be overjoyed -
我每天晚上擰一下那個旋鈕，
I'm the only one in town employed:
每天早上再輕輕按一下開關。
I'm the man who turns the damn thing off and on!
我知道我心裡應該樂開花了，
So, feelin' exhausted from my first day's labor,
畢竟我是整個鎮子上唯一有工作的人：
I went home to see my baby.
我得負責把那破玩意打開和關上！
She was lyin' in bed with a smile on her face, and I
第一天的工作忙完，累得我是精疲力盡，
Heard a buzzin' sound.
我回家去陪我的寶貝老婆。
She said, 'I don't need no mortal men,
她正躺在床上，滿臉的春色，
This vibrator does the work of ten!
接著我就听到了一陣嗡嗡嗡的聲音。
But since you're so in love with me,
她說：“我已經不需要你們這些不給力的男人了，
I'll let you stick around
這只跳蛋能連續工作十個小時！
And be the man who turns the damn thing off and on!'
但既然你這麼愛我，
I give it a twist in the evening like this
我就讓你留在我身邊吧，
And a little bitty flick at dawn.
然後每天幫我把這玩意打開和關上!”
I know I should be gratified:
我每天晚上擰一下那個旋鈕，
She lets me lie here by her side,
每天早上再輕輕按一下開關。
And be the man who turns the damn thing off and on!
我知道我應該心滿意足了：
I'm the man who turns the damn thing off and on!
她居然還會讓我躺在她身旁，
