[00:10.091]I'd like to say a few words
[00:16.521]我想说几句话
[00:16.521]In defense of our country
[00:21.271]为我们的国家辩护
[00:21.271]Whose people aren't bad
[00:23.921]这里的人民并不坏
[00:23.921]Nor are they mean
[00:30.871]也不怀恶意
[00:30.871]Now the leaders we have
[00:34.901]如今的领导者们
[00:34.901]While they're the worst that we've had
[00:38.971]虽是我们经历过最糟的
[00:38.971]Are hardly the worst
[00:41.241]但远非这苦难世界
[00:41.241]This poor world has seen
[00:48.281]所见过的最恶劣
[00:48.281]Take the Caesars for example
[00:50.741]以凯撒们为例
[00:50.741]Within the first few of them
[00:53.041]最初那几位帝王
[00:53.041]They were sleeping with their sister
[00:54.971]与姐妹同床共枕
[00:54.971]Stashing little boys in swimming pools
[00:57.440]将少年藏于泳池
[00:57.440]And burning down the city
[00:59.730]纵火焚毁城池
[00:59.730]And one of 'em one of 'em
[01:01.400]其中一位 其中一位
[01:01.400]Appointed his own horse to be Consul of the Empire
[01:04.680]竟册封御马为帝国执政官
[01:04.680]That's like vice president or something
[01:07.739]相当于副总统之职
[01:07.739]Wait a minute that's not a very good example is it
[01:11.249]稍等 这可不是什么好例子对吧
[01:11.249]But wait here's one
[01:12.009]且慢 这里倒有个典型
[01:12.009]The Spanish Inquisition
[01:14.309]西班牙宗教裁判所
[01:14.309]It put people in a terrible position
[01:18.099]它将人们推向绝境深渊
[01:18.099]I don't even like to think about it
[01:21.659]我甚至不愿回想那段历史
[01:21.659]Well sometimes I like to think about it
[01:26.399]不过有时又忍不住思量
[01:26.399]Just a few words in defense of our country
[01:35.029]仅以片语为我祖国辩护
[01:35.029]Whose time at the top
[01:37.699]其辉煌鼎盛之时
[01:37.699]Could be coming to an end
[01:44.659]或许即将走向终结
[01:44.659]We don't want your love
[01:48.758]此刻我们不需要你的爱
[01:48.758]And respect at this point is pretty much out of the question
[01:52.928]而尊重也几乎无从谈起
[01:52.928]But times like these
[01:55.208]但这样的时代
[01:55.208]We sure could use a friend

[02:41.007]曾有总统这样说过
[02:41.007]"The only thing we have to fear is fear itself"
[02:45.467]"我们唯一需要恐惧的就是恐惧本身"
[02:45.467]Now we're supposed to be afraid
[02:47.627]如今我们却被告诫要心怀恐惧
[02:47.627]It's patriotic in fact and color-coded
[02:51.997]这竟被标榜为爱国 还划分了警戒等级
[02:51.997]And what are we supposed to be afraid of
[02:54.727]我们究竟该畏惧什么
[02:54.727]Why of being afraid

[02:56.627]That's what terror means doesn't it
[02:59.247]这不正是恐怖的定义吗
[02:59.247]That's what it used to mean
[03:05.957]这本是它最初的含义
[03:05.957]You know it kind of pisses me off
[03:07.397]这真让我火冒三丈
[03:07.397]That this Supreme Court is going to outlive me
[03:11.147]最高法院竟将比我更长寿
[03:11.147]A couple of young Italian fellas and a brother on the Court now too
[03:16.686]如今法庭上坐着几个意大利小伙 还有个黑人兄弟
[03:16.686]But I defy you anywhere in the world
[03:19.526]但我敢说 放眼全世界
[03:19.526]To find me two Italians as tightassed as the two Italians we got
[03:24.366]也找不出比我们这儿更古板的意大利人
[03:24.366]And as for the brother well

[03:28.166]Pluto's not a planet anymore either
[03:32.566]就像冥王星不再算行星一样
[03:32.566]The end of an Empire is messy at best
[03:39.276]帝国的终结总是混乱不堪
[03:39.276]And this Empire is ending
[03:42.796]这个帝国正走向终结
[03:42.796]Like all the rest
[03:46.096]如同所有过往
[03:46.096]Like the Spanish Armada adrift on the sea
[03:52.805]就像西班牙无敌舰队在海上漂泊
[03:52.805]We're adrift in the land of the brave and the home of the free
