歐巴馬今日凌晨正式上任。 這讓我想起了高中及大學時代很熱愛的重金屬搖滾樂團,Guns N' Roses。 八十年代,舞曲跟軟綿綿的「泡泡糖」情歌,佔據了主流排行榜,直到1987年,Guns N' Roses的出現,狂野的唱腔與奔放的電吉他、以及真實不媚俗的歌詞,G N' R在發片一年後,大紅大紫。 Appetite for Destruction 專輯賣了超過700萬張後,G N' R 一時之間沒有新作,就把一些小品舊作集結成一張專輯,就是:G N' R Lies。 專輯最令人耳熟能詳的是:Patience,登上流行榜TOP 10,但是整張專輯賣得遠不如處女作。 可能原因是:專輯中最後一首歌,「One in a Million」,太傷人了!罵盡所有少數族群,當然也包括非洲裔 (歌詞中以「黑鬼」,niggers)稱之。 甚至,還責怪移民將傳染病帶進美國。 二十年後,父親是非洲肯亞留學生,繼父是印尼人的歐巴馬上任了,用極懸殊的差距擊敗共和黨,再回顧這首代表美國保守主義的搖滾曲,尤其讓人玩味。 歌詞如下: One in a Million 1,2,1,2,3,4 (Whistle) Guess I needed sometime to get away I needed some piece of mind Some piece of mind that'll stay So I thumbed it down to Sixth and L.A. Maybe a Greyhound could be my way Police and Niggers, that's right Get out of my way Don't need to buy none of your Gold chains today I don't need no bracelets Clamped in front of my back Just need my ticket; 'til then Won't you cut me some slack? You're one in a million Yeah, that's what you are You're one in a million, babe You're a shooting star Maybe someday we'll see you Before you make us cry You know we tried to reach you But you were much too high Much too high, much too high, Much too high, yes, ow! Immigrants and faggots They make no sense to me They come to our country And think they'll do as they please Like start some mini Iran, Or spread some fuckin' disease They talk so many goddamn ways It's all Greek to me Well some say I'm lazy And others say that's just me Some say I'm crazy I guess I'll always be But it's been such a long time Since I knew right from wrong It's all the means to an end, I I keep it movin' along You're one in a million Oo, you're a shooting star You're one in a million, babe You know that you are Maybe someday we'll see you, Oo oh, Before you make us cry You know we tried to reach you But you were much too high Much too high, Oo, much too high Yeah, Much too high, huh, no, no, oh Ow! Radicals and Racists Don't point your finger at me I'm a small town white boy Just tryin' to make ends meet Don't need your religion Don't watch that much T.V. Just makin' my livin', baby Well that's enough for me You're one in a million Yeah that's what you are You're one in a million, babe You're a shooting star Maybe someday we'll see you Before you make us cry You know we tried to reach you But you were much too high Much too high, ow, much too high, Much too high, much too high Yeah, yeee, yeah, yeee, igh! Ow! Much too high (Oh, much too high, ah, much too high, ah, much too high much too high, ow, much too high) |
