The excuses turn to makeup 借口转妆

And know what man I am 而且知道我是什么样的人

I boast my silly knowledge 夸我我傻知识

And crucify my friends 而钉死我的朋友

It's only looking back 这只是回头

On my crooked footprints 在我的歪脚印

I break myself a promise 我打破自己的承诺

Not to do that again 不要说再这样做

   

The stage hands are all gone 舞台上的手都走了

The curtain still remains 大幕仍

It hides the puppeteer 它隐藏了木偶

Oh, pulling on my strings 哦，拉我的琴弦

I could swear I'm in control 我可以发誓，我在控制

I could make a judge convinced 我可以让法官信服

But I know my spirit quit 但我知道我的灵魂退出

I don't wanna be 我并不想成为

Your bargaining chip 你的筹码

   

The organ pleases no one 该机构为所欲为没有人

The piano is pulling teeth 钢琴是拔牙

The guitar is strung with nothing 吉他是串起了什么

And never makes a beep 而且绝不会发出哔

It's only now I laugh 这只是现在的我笑了

While the master takes a break 而主需要休息

Who's counting all those tickets 谁在计算所有门票

Who's drooling on the stage 谁在流口水的舞台上

   

The sound men are all gone 声音的人都走了

The curtain still remains 大幕仍

It hides the puppeteer 它隐藏了木偶

Oh, pulling on my strings 哦，拉我的琴弦

I could swear I'm in control 我可以发誓，我在控制

I could make a judge convinced 我可以让法官信服

But I know my spirit quit 但我知道我的灵魂退出

I don't wanna be 我并不想成为

Your bargaining chip 你的筹码

   

The stage hands are all gone 舞台上的手都走了

The curtain still remains 大幕仍

I could make a judge convinced 我可以让法官信服

But I know that my spirit quit 但我知道，我的灵魂退出

I don't wanna be 我并不想成为
