細漢仔

我的兄弟細漢仔十八歲的那年
帶著滿腔的熱血和阿媽的祝福來到台北
住在城市邊緣靠近發臭的新店溪
他的第一份工作開著烏黑的 Jaguar
上面坐著有錢的大爺 大爺開了酒店
當選了立法委員每天吃吃喝喝的 好不風光
世界每天都在改變 有些人不懂發言
肯定你聽過這樣的故事
為何那些讀書的人每天談的大致相同
說什麼偏左偏右心中充滿理想國
得了利益卻不放鬆 真他媽的狗屁不通
細漢仔說他不懂人人叫他不要思考 思考對你不好
有人想得太多就這樣進了黑牢
單純的心重重疑惑真是難過
有些事不需要理解 對你好你千萬不要拒絕
偉大國民你心裡要準備
有牌沒牌的流氓架著嚇人的鐵絲網
追逐在午夜的大馬路上
專家說這是權力的病態你管他的做什麼
全世界最有錢的乞丐穿金戴銀晃著空的腦袋
真理靠在強者那方 每個人都紅著眼說
If you wanna rich, you got to be a bitch
兄弟你千萬不要氣餒 不滿意你回家種田
雖然稻子一斤賣不了多少錢
Confussion 漠然陪我成長
不能選擇愛與被愛的方式
Confussion 彷彿讓我明白
社會本是黑白不分的常態
阿媽說孩子你趕快回來
你的媳婦挺著肚子暗泣著等待
社會黑暗你敢也袂了解
不入寶山絕不回來 男兒立志卯上我的祖宗八代
結交四方朋友黑道白道都有
噴子握在手上忘了自己的存在
阿媽的話拋在腦後 戴起墨鏡駕著 Alfa Romeo
大哥的話唯命是從
他是兇狠的那個馬路的小英雄
想起老家心裡有時會難過
踏入社會沒有反悔的餘地
至少還保留住男子漢的尊嚴
Confussion 漠然陪我成長
不能選擇愛與被愛的方式
Confussion 彷彿讓我明白
社會本是黑白不分的常態
終於有了一天條子來到老家的門前
說你的孩子出了事情
為他的老板爭奪地盤出了人命
趕快叫他出來否則活不過冬天
阿媽帶著媳婦哭哭啼啼找到了城裡
酒店的老闆四處迴避 他正忙著競選立法委員
帶話的人說"哭夭我找嘸你尪"
在一個寒冷無風的夜裡
有人靜靜地漂浮在新店溪
細漢仔這一次終於真正的不言也不語
找嘸你尪 找嘸你尪
哈 呐呐呐呐呐呐呐呐呐呐呐
找嘸你尪 找嘸你尪
呐呐呐呐呐呐呐呐呐呐呐
找嘸你尪 啊

Little Brother

My little brother, eighteen years old that year,
Packed with passion and mom's blessings and came to Taipei.
Lived on the edge of the city, near the stinky Xindian Creek.
His first job, driving a pitch-black Jaguar,
With rich men sitting on it, the men who opened a hotel,
Became a legislator, eating and drinking every day. What a great life.
The world is changing every day. Some people don't understand and speak up.
I'm sure you've heard stories like this.
Why do those educated people talk about the same thing every day,
Talking about being left or right, their hearts filled with utopia?
They gain benefits but don't let go. What a load of crap.
Little brother said he didn't understand, everyone told him not to think. Thinking is not good for you.
Some people thought too much and ended up in jail.
A simple heart filled with doubts, how sad.
Some things don't need to be understood. If it's good for you, don't refuse.
Great citizens, you have to be prepared.
Licensed or unlicensed gangsters hold up scary barbed wire,
Chasing on the midnight highway.
Experts say it's a disease of power. What does it matter to you?
The world's richest beggar, wearing gold and silver, swinging his empty head.
Truth is on the side of the strong. Everyone says it with bloodshot eyes.
If you wanna rich, you got to be a bitch.
Brother, don't be discouraged. If you're not satisfied, go home and farm.
Although rice doesn't sell for much a pound.
Confusion indifferently accompanied me as I grew up.
Can't choose the way to love and to be loved.
Confusion seemed to make me understand,
Society is inherently black and white.
Grandma said, child, you come back quickly.
Your wife is pregnant, waiting with tears in her eyes.
Society is dark, you dare not understand.
No guts no glory. As a man, I'll follow my ancestors' footsteps for eight generations.
Made friends from all walks of life, both gangsters and white-collar workers.
Holding a gun in my hand, forgetting my own existence.
Grandma's words were thrown to the back of my mind. I put on my sunglasses and drove my Alfa Romeo.
The大哥's words were my only commands.
He was the fierce one, the little hero of the road.
Thinking of home, I sometimes feel sad.
Once you step into society, there's no turning back.
At least I still have my dignity as a man.
Confusion indifferently accompanied me as I grew up.
Can't choose the way to love and to be loved.
Confusion seemed to make me understand,
Society is inherently black and white.
Finally one day, the cops came to the old house.
Said your son is in trouble.
He killed someone for his boss fighting over territory.
Tell him to come out or he won't survive the winter.
Grandma and her daughter-in-law cried all the way to the city.
The hotel owner dodged them, he was busy running for legislator.
The messenger said, "I can't find your man."
On a cold, windless night,
Someone floated silently in Xindian Creek.
Little brother, this time he's finally speechless.
Can't find your man. Can't find your man.
Ha! Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah.
Can't find your man. Can't find your man.
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah.
Can't find your man. Ah!
