For Lifetime I Have Been Fighting with a Question Mark
我一生

像兄弟和无情的敌人

从来就没有答案告诉我
There has never been an answer to me

得到小轿车和小洋房
You can get a comfortable car and villa
我拼命的生存
In spite of the fact that I exert my utmost strength
却天天睡不安吃不好
I fail to eat well and sleep well
而你

却灯红酒绿鲍鱼龙虾
Are living an easy and extravagant life

为什么你欺骗了别人

却一副道貌岸然的样子
While assuming to be sanctimonious

而我们却要感谢！
And we have to be grateful!
为什么你可以垄断
Why you monopolize
我们还要高呼万岁！
And we have to shout “long live your majesty!”

为什么鬼都是屈死的鬼

为什么善良都得不到幸福
Why goodness fails to get happiness
而你却活得如鱼得水
While you are living a life of comfort and ease

为什么神是欺软怕硬的
Why all the gods bully the weak and fear the strong
越是膜拜就愈不幸
The more you worship the more miserable you are
为什么没有杀富济贫的神
Why there is no god who robs the rich to relieve the poor
为什么神都是丑陋的神
Why all the gods are ugly gods
为什么丑陋的神依然香火不断
Why ugly gods are still consistently worshipped
而上香的人还是贫寒
While the worshippers still remain poor

为什么动物也学会了自杀身亡
Why animals have learnt to kill themselves
为什么地球都已经百孔千疮

But still has to be subjected under willful persecution
承受这群“恶魔”的肆虐
By the group of “demons” out of fellowship
为什么你不反抗

为什么我要投降
Why do I have to surrender
为什么 为什么

我一生
In all my born days
都会和一个问号打架
