Alec Benjamin - Jesus in LA 救贖

滿腔熱血的來到異鄉
你以為能得到救贖
找到所有疑問的解答
一切卻並非如你所願
不禁使你思考
幻滅之後還剩下什麼


Well, I shook hands with the devil
在南方那兒
Down on the south side
和惡魔握了手
And he bought us both a drink
他請我們喝了一杯
With a pad and a pencil, sat by his side
拿著紙筆在他身邊坐下
I said, "Tell me what you think"
我說:「請告訴我你在想些什麼」

I've been looking for my savior
我在尋找我的救贖
Looking for my truth
尋求真理
I even asked my shrink
甚至問了心理醫生
He brought me down to his level
他要我降低標準
Said, "Son, you're not special
告訴我:孩子,你並不特別
You won't find him where you think
不會在你以為的那裡找到救贖

"You won't find him down on Sunset
你不會在日落時找到他
Or at a party in the hills
不會在山莊的派對上
At the bottom of the bottle
不會在整瓶乾完後
Or when you're tripping on some pills
更不會在嗑藥之後
When they sold you the dream, you were just 16
當他們用夢想包裝賣給你時才十六
Packed a bag and ran away
隨即打包離家
And it's a crying shame you came all this way
這一路走來多羞恥
Cause you won't find Jesus in LA
因為你並不會在洛杉磯找到救贖
And it's a crying shame you came all this way
大老遠走一趟真可惜
Cause you won't find Jesus in LA"
因為不會在洛杉磯找到救贖

Took a sip of his whiskey
嚐一口他的威士忌
Said, "Now that you're with me
說:現在就剩我倆了
Well, I think that you should stay
我想你該留下
Yeah, I know you've been busy
我知道你一直很忙
Searching through the city
尋遍整座城
So let me share the way
就讓我為你帶路吧

"I know I'm not your savior
知道我不是你的救贖
Know I'm not your truth
明白我不是你的真理
But I think we could be friends"
但我想我們可以是朋友
He said, "Come down to my level
他說:來加入我吧
Hang out with the devil
和魔鬼打交道
Let me tell you, in the end...
讓我告訴你結局

"You won't find him down on sunset
你不會在日落時找到救贖
Or at a party in the hills
不會是在山莊的派對上
At the bottom of the bottle
不會是在灌完整瓶後
Or when you're tripping on some pills
更不會是在嗑藥之後
When they sold you the dream, you were just 16
當他們用夢想包裝出售給你時才年紀輕輕
Packed a bag and ran away
你草率打包離家
And it's a crying shame you came all this way
一路走來只能說可惜啊
Cause you won't find Jesus in LA
因為你並不會在洛杉磯找到救贖
And it's a crying shame you came all this way
大老遠跑來是多可惜
Cause you won't find Jesus in LA"
因為救贖並不在洛杉磯

And that is when I knew that it was time to go home
那一刻我領悟是該回家了
And that is when I realized that I was alone
那一刻才發現自己多孤獨
And all the vibrant colors from the lights fade away
五光十色逐漸模糊
And I don't care what they say
不再在乎他們的閒言閒語

You won't find him down on sunset
你不會在黃昏時找到救贖
Or at a party in the hills
不會在山莊的派對上
At the bottom of the bottle
不會在空瓶底端
Or when you're tripping on some pills
更不會在毒品中
When they sold you the dream, you were just 16
當他們用夢想包裝出售給你還年紀輕輕
Packed a bag and ran away
包包帶著就離家
And it's a crying shame you came all this way
真是可惜大老遠走了一遭
Cause you won't find Jesus in LA
卻不會在洛杉磯找到救贖
I won't find him down on sunset
我不會在日落時找到救贖
Or at a party in the hills
不會是在山莊的派對上
At the bottom of the bottle
不會是在乾掉酒精之後
Or when I'm tripping on some pills
更不會是在嗑了幾粒後
When they sold me the dream, I was just 16
他們用夢想包裝出售給我時才不過十六
Packed my bag and ran away
包包提著就走
And it's a crying shame I came all this way
真是可惜大老遠走了一遭
Cause I won't find Jesus in LA
卻沒有在洛杉磯找到救贖
And it's a crying shame I came all this way
走這一趟除了可惜還是可惜
Cause I won't find Jesus in LA
因為在洛杉磯也不會找到救贖

你可能走遍了全世界,依然找不到救贖,因為事實上只有你能成為自己的彌賽亞。
