It was on a Saturday night and the moon was shing bright
那是一个周六的夜晚皎洁的月光
They passed the conscription bill

And the people they did say for many miles away
许多英里之外的人们说
'Twas the president and his boys on capitol hill
是总统和他的兄弟们在国会山
Oh Franklin Roosevelt told the people how he felt
富兰克林·罗斯福告诉人们他的感受
We damned near believed what he said
我们差一点就相信了他说的话
He said I hate war and so does Eleanor
他说我讨厌战争埃利诺也一样
But we won't be safe 'till everybody's dead
但我们不会安然无恙直到所有人都死去
When my poor old mother died I was sitting by her side
我可怜的老母亲去世时我坐在她身旁
A promising to war I'd never go
一触即发我绝不会踏上战场
But now I'm wearing khaki jeans and eating army beans
但现在我穿着卡其牛仔裤吃着豆子
And I'm told that J P morgan loves me so
我听说摩根大通非常爱我
I have wandered o'er this land a roaming working man
我漫游在这片土地上四处漂泊
No clothes to wear and not much food to eat
没衣服穿也没多少饭吃
But now the government foots the bill
但现在由政府买单
Gives me clothes and feeds me swill
给我衣服喂我剩饭
Gets me shot and puts me underground six feet
让我中枪把我埋在地下六英尺的地方
Oh Franklin Roosevelt told the people how he felt

We damned near believed what he said
我们差一点就相信了他说的话
He said I hate war and so does Eleanor

But we won't be safe 'till everybody's dead
但我们不会安然无恙直到所有人都死去
Why nothing can be wrong if it makes our country strong
为什么只要能让我们的国家强大就什么都不会出错
We got to get tough to save democracy
我们必须强硬起来拯救民主
And though it may mean war
尽管这可能意味着战争
We must defend singapore

This don't hurt you half as much as it hurts me
这对你的伤害不及对我的一半
Oh Franklin Roosevelt told the people how he felt

We damned near believed what he said
我们差一点就相信了他说的话
He said I hate war and so does Eleanor
他说我讨厌战争埃利诺也一样
But we won't be safe 'till everybody's dead
但我们不会安然无恙直到所有人都死去
