Текст песни: Being a Person + перевод

I’m sweaty and i’m hopeful on a summer night

I read the news and shouldn’t think things will be alright

The stripes on your shirt remind me of something long ago

Maybe the pattern of the carpet of an airport floor or… i don’t know

In the future our shoes will no longer give us blisters

And everyone will know the correct anatomy of the clitoris

Whether or not we should get a new phony gadget

Whether or not we will be forgiven for our sins

And you know, being a person, it really fucks you up

But something here feels right, i think we might both be alive

I refuse to believe that big plans will work out

So i knock on every single wooden surface in town

It’s the anxiety percussion symphony

It’s a highly abstract piece of music

I gotta gotta get to the bottom of this

Find the prize in the fucking cereal box, it’s hit or bliss

I’ll fix this world, I’ll make it right for us

I’ll make nice people out of all those assholes

You get a special kind of scar when you grow up in a zoo

Where there’s a different kind of elephant in every single room

We fed the holy spirit with bread crumbs

And we watched it shit on all our things

Sometimes i imagine the westboro baptist church picketing our funerals

And i hope no one else will

And i am sitting on the corner of church and state avenue

I am balancing five cents on the tip of my shoe

There’s a sign out in the yard with a clumsily painted dove

Saying something heartfelt and generic about love

Like:

You know, being a person

It really fucks you up

But something here feels right

I think we might both be alive

(you know being a person, it really fucks you up for life)

You know, being a person

It really fucks you up

But something here feels right

I think we might both be alive
