想不通

I Don't Get It

依照现代的绿色观念
甚至每个吃肉的人
都是污染源
听上去人类千百年来
一直在肉的问题上
与自己为敌
可不是吗？
生命都在积极繁衍
鸡被人食用
人被战争食用
谁又是战争呢
鸡想不通
人类更没有想通

According to contemporary green consciousness
Each and every person who eats meat is
A source of pollution
If you think about humankind through the ages
When it comes to the question of meat
We are our own enemy
Isn't that true?
Life is actively multiplied
Chickens are eaten by people
People are eaten by War
And just who is War?
Chickens don't get it
People get it even less

易拉罐

Flip-Top Cans

爱一旦遇到肉体
就被荷尔蒙污染了
但无论收成好坏
都不会破坏夏娃和亚当
DNA里苹果的数据
而树上的苹果
在与时俱进的伊甸园里
直接长成了易拉罐

Once love meets flesh 
Hormones pollute it
Yet whether the results are good or bad 
They cannot destroy the number of apples 
In Adam and Eve's DNA  
And as the Garden of Eden keeps up with the times 
The apples on the trees 
Grow directly into flip-top cans
