Bedtime Stories

Everything is so unclear,how could we ever let this happen here
世上的景物，已不再清明——而我们，竟能让它一再发生！
And with the turn of every page, another picture worth a thousand tears
每翻动一次书页，就是那令人心痛的画面；
Reading on with great dismay, another tanker has lost its way
满怖悲伤的心情尚未平静，却传来了另一个消息——
And ninety million gallons spilled into the sea today
一艘迷途的运油船，
今天，又在大海上留下了九千万加仑油污的痕迹……
(Chorus)

Don't make me tell bedtime stories
不要让我说枕边故事——
'Bout how it was when the Earth still had trees
说地球上的林木曾经是多么苍郁，
Don't make me tell bedtime stories
不要让我说枕边故事——
Livin'in a world of why and might have been
如今，这个世界是充满了问号与不确定……
Tellin' all about how I remember when
说我曾经有过的美好记忆

You can see it everywhere, we're adding colour to our atmosphere
你随处可见——我们为大气层加上不该有的颜彩；
Still we let the fires burn, we haven't got a lot of room up there
但，人们还是在已经没有空间的天空，让烟火燃烧弥漫；
Now it seems this whole affair is burnin' holes in an ozone layer
而这些种种，将臭氧层融蚀出一个破洞……
Well maybe I'm mistaken, but don't we need to breathe this air
如果，人们都不需要呼吸，也许我的担心就是多余！
Don't make me tell bedtime stories
不要让我讲枕边故事
(Chorus)

Think it's time we recongnize, we've got a problem in paradise
是该觉醒的时候了！我们的天堂已经出现问题！
'Bout how it was when the Earth still had trees
Don't make me tell bedtime stories
Livin'in a world of why and might have been
Tellin' all about how I remember when

Think it's time we recongnize, we've got a problem in paradise
Angels fall from troubled skies, wolves lay bleeding out upon the ice
天时从浑浊的空中降落，狼群在淌满鲜血的冰原中倒卧……
Some would say "just carry on, close your eyes now and don't think twice"
有人会说：得过且过，闭上眼睛，不要再自寻苦果。
Well, given our direction, this doesn't really seem like sound advice
然后，如此的建议并不能改善我们的生活！

Don't make me tell bedtime stories
'Bout how it was when the Earth still had trees
Don't make me tell bedtime stories
Livin'in a world of why and might have been
Tellin' all about how I remember when
(Chorus)
