Текст песни What We Think vs What We Know (The Bad Dreamers) с переводом

M-ba-da-ba-oh, m-ba-da-ba-oh

M-ba-da-ba-oh, m-ba-da-ba-oh

(M-ba-da-ba-oh, m-ba-da-ba-oh)

Reconcile who I was with

Who I am and try to be

Just a statue in a snow globe

At my best when you come shake things up for me

(M-ba-da-ba-oh, m-ba-da-ba-oh)

(M-ba-da-ba-oh, m-ba-da-ba-oh)

(M-ba-da-ba-oh, m-ba-da-ba-oh)

(M-ba-da-ba-oh, m-ba-da-ba-oh)

Hold my breath in shallow water

Waiting patient for the tide

Hard to tell now if I’m drowning

Or if this is just a way to get baptized

(M-ba-da-ba-oh, m-ba-da-ba-oh)

(M-ba-da-ba-oh, m-ba-da-ba-oh)

(M-ba-da-ba-oh, m-ba-da-ba-oh)

(M-ba-da-ba-oh, m-ba-da-ba-oh)

He says home is where his heart is

But he won’t find it on skid row

Just a stray dog with no tag, he’s got too much pride to beg

Don’t underestimate what he knows

He prays to Jesus on a billboard

A neon beacon in the night

«Oh, the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit!»

But the mothers and the wives are the ones that hear it

(M-ba-da-ba-oh, m-ba-da-ba-oh)

(M-ba-da-ba-oh, m-ba-da-ba-oh)

(M-ba-da-ba-oh, m-ba-da-ba-oh)

(M-ba-da-ba-oh, m-ba-da-ba-oh)

(M-ba-da-ba-oh, m-ba-da-ba-oh) Do better, try harder, fall down

(M-ba-da-ba-oh, m-ba-da-ba-oh) Do better, try harder, fall down

(M-ba-da-ba-oh, m-ba-da-ba-oh) Do better, try harder, fall down

(M-ba-da-ba-oh, m-ba-da-ba-oh) Do better, try harder, fall down

(M-ba-da-ba-oh, m-ba-da-ba-oh) Do better, try harder, fall down

(M-ba-da-ba-oh, m-ba-da-ba-oh) Do better, try harder, fall down

(M-ba-da-ba-oh, m-ba-da-ba-oh) Do better, try harder, fall down

(M-ba-da-ba-oh, m-ba-da-ba-oh) Do better, try harder, fall down

«People have always said: Life is suffering! Yes! Well, who wants to admit that?

Well, just think about it! Well, so what do you do in the face of suffering!

Try to reduce it! Start with yourself, what good are you? Get yourself

together, for Christ’s sake, so that when your father dies, you’re not whining

away in the corner and you can help plan the funeral and you can stand up

solidly so that people can rely on you. That’s better! Don’t be a damn victim!

Of course you’re a victim! Jesus, obviously! Put yourself together,

and then maybe if you put yourself together: You know how to do that,

you know what’s wrong with you, if you’ll admit it, you know there’s a few

things you could, like, polish up a little bit, that you might even be able to

manage in your insufficient present condition, and so you might shine yourself

up a little bit and then your eyes will be a little more open and then you

shine yourself up a little bit more, and then maybe you could bring your family

together instead of having them be the hateful, spiteful, neurotic,

infighting batch that you’re, like, doomed to spend Christmas with.

«*laughter*

«Well, that’s hard! It takes responsibility! And I think, you know,

if you said to someone: 'You wanna have a meaningful life? Everything you do

matters!' That’s the definition of a meaningful life, that everything you do

matters!»
