Life's been good, I can't complain so far 美好的生活让我没有理由再挑剔什么
Designer clothes, expensive caviar 穿着名牌的服装, 吃着昂贵的鱼子酱
And gated homes to keep the wolves at bay 舒适的房子将一切丑恶的事物抵在门外
Tinted glass to hide my guilt and shame 彩色的玻璃背后却隐藏著我的罪恶与羞愧
Neon signs and vagrants at the door霓虹的招牌，门前游荡的乞丐
Broken values,needles,liquor stores破坏的价值观，吸毒的人，卖酒的商店
And won't somebody help me to believe没人可以帮我相信
Help me to deny the things I see让我否认眼前发生的一切
Now whatever comes your way,现在无论你面对什么
Sometimes you win,sometimes you lose. 时而成功，时而失败
When it all comes down you make it through. 当一切发生时你都能坦然面对
You got the whole world around 你拥有了全世界
You got the whole world around 你拥有了全世界
Something tells me not to make a scene 有个声音告诉我不要怨天尤人
“0pen up your heart and let me in” 敞开你的心房,让我住进去吧
I've tried as far as enough to lead my arm in minds我努力的做事直到自己精神振作
Receive that every word I know still were saying in the skies听到的每句话也只不过是过眼云烟
Take me, wake me , push me down, as long as I'm understood抓住我，叫醒我，推我一把，只要你们能理解我怎么都行。
Like a soldier's view就像一个战士
From the bomb to the tomb从战场到坟墓
The towers I forget ever knew. 记不起曾经到达过碉堡
Something tells me not to make a scene 有个声音告诉我不要怨天尤人
0pen up your heart and let me in 敞开你的心房,让我住进去吧
You got the whole world around 你拥有了全世界
You got the whole world around 你拥有了全世界
Something tells me not to make a scene 有个声音告诉我不要怨天尤人
0pen up your heart and let me in 敞开你的心房,让我住进去吧
You got the whole world around 你拥有了全世界
