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
думал
об
армии.
Dad
said,
"Son
you're
fuckin'
high"
Папа
сказал:
"Сынок,
ты,
блядь,
под
кайфом".
And
I
thought,
yeah
there's
a
first
for
everything
И
я
подумал:
"Да,
все
бывает
в
первый
раз".
So
I
took
my
old
man's
advice
Поэтому
я
последовал
совету
своего
старика.
Three
sad
semesters
Три
печальных
семестра
It
was
only
15
grand
spent
in
bed
Это
были
всего
15
тысяч,
потраченных
в
постели.
I
thought
about
the
army
Я
думал
об
армии.
I
dropped
out
and
joined
a
band
instead
Я
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
"Чик-фил-а".
Citing
artistic
differences
Ссылаясь
на
художественные
различия
The
band
broke
up
in
May
Группа
распалась
в
мае.
And
in
June
reformed
without
me
И
в
июне
исправился
без
меня.
And
they'd
got
a
different
name
И
у
них
другое
имя.
I
nuked
another
grandma's
apple
pie
Я
взорвал
еще
один
бабушкин
яблочный
пирог.
And
hung
my
head
in
shame,
oh
И
я
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,
думаю,
я
напишу
сценарий.
Oh,
I
think
I'll
take
it
to
L
A
О,
думаю,
я
отнесу
его
в
Лос-Анджелес.
Oh,
I
think
I'll
get
it
done
yesterday,
ah,
shit
О,
я
думаю,
что
сделаю
это
еще
вчера,
а,
черт
возьми
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,
пожалуйста,
избавь
меня
от
еще
большего
отказа.
'Cause
my
peers
they
criticize
me
Потому
что
мои
сверстники
критикуют
меня
And
my
ex-wives
all
despise
me
И
все
мои
бывшие
жены
презирают
меня.
Try
to
put
it
all
behind
me
Постарайся
оставить
все
это
позади.
But
my
redneck
past
is
nipping
at
my
heels
Но
мое
деревенщинное
прошлое
преследует
меня
по
пятам.
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
думал
об
армии.
