Lyrics and translation Ben Folds Five - Army (Live At UNC Memorial Hall, Chapel Hill, NC, 9/18/08)
Well
I
thought
about
the
army
Я
подумывал
об
армии,
Dad
said,
"Son
you're
fuckin'
high"
Папаша
сказал:
"Сынок,
ты
совсем
обкурился."
And
I
thought,
yeah
there's
a
first
for
everything
А
я
подумал,
да,
всему
свой
первый
раз,
So
I
took
my
old
man's
advice
Поэтому
я
последовал
совету
старика,
Three
sad
semesters
Три
печальных
семестра,
It
was
only
15
grand
spent
in
bed
Всего
15
тысяч
потрачено
впустую,
лёжа
в
кровати.
I
thought
about
the
army
Я
подумывал
об
армии,
I
dropped
out
and
joined
a
band
instead
Бросил
учебу
и
вместо
этого
присоединился
к
группе.
Grew
a
mustache
and
a
mullet
Отрастил
усы
и
маллет,
Got
a
job
at
Chick-Fil-A
Устроился
на
работу
в
Chick-Fil-A.
Citing
artistic
differences
Ссылаясь
на
творческие
разногласия,
The
band
broke
up
in
May
Группа
распалась
в
мае.
And
in
June
reformed
without
me
А
в
июне
воссоединилась
без
меня,
And
they'd
got
a
different
name
И
у
них
было
другое
название.
I
nuked
another
grandma's
apple
pie
Я
снова
испортил
бабушкин
яблочный
пирог
And
hung
my
head
in
shame,
oh
И
повесил
голову
от
стыда,
о.
I've
been
thinkin'
a
lot
today
Я
много
думал
сегодня,
I've
been
thinkin'
a
lot
today
Я
много
думал
сегодня,
Oh,
I
think
I'll
write
a
screenplay
О,
я
думаю,
я
напишу
сценарий,
Oh,
I
think
I'll
take
it
to
L
A
О,
я
думаю,
я
отвезу
его
в
Лос-Анджелес,
Oh,
I
think
I'll
get
it
done
yesterday,
ah,
shit
О,
я
думаю,
я
сделаю
это
вчера,
а,
черт.
In
this
time
of
introspection
В
это
время
самоанализа,
On
the
eve
of
my
election
Накануне
моих
выборов,
I
say
to
my
reflection
Я
говорю
своему
отражению:
God
please
spare
me
more
rejection
"Боже,
избавь
меня
от
новых
отказов."
'Cause
my
peers
they
criticize
me
Потому
что
мои
сверстники
критикуют
меня,
And
my
ex-wives
all
despise
me
А
мои
бывшие
жены
презирают
меня,
Try
to
put
it
all
behind
me
Пытаюсь
оставить
все
это
позади,
But
my
redneck
past
is
nipping
at
my
heels
Но
мое
деревенское
прошлое
наступает
мне
на
пятки.
I've
been
thinking
a
lot
today
Я
много
думал
сегодня,
I've
been
thinking
a
lot
today
Я
много
думал
сегодня,
I've
been
thinking
a
lot
today
Я
много
думал
сегодня,
I
thought
about
the
army
Я
подумывал
об
армии.
