Get Over It

Eagles 十多年前重出樂壇的名曲,Hell Freezes Over 專輯中的第一首歌,跟專輯中的另一首歌Learn To Be Still 都是我的最愛,歌詞含義值得讓人細味。

我打開電視看到什麼? I turn on the tube and what do I see
一大堆的人在嚷︰“別怪我﹗” A whole lotta people cryin' "Don't blame me"
他們彎曲的小指頭都指著別人 They point their crooked little fingers at everybody else
大多數時間他們都在自怨自艾 Spend all their time feelin' sorry for themselves
這事讓他受害,那事讓他受害 Victim of this, victim of that
你的媽媽太瘦,你的爸爸又太胖 Your momma's too thin; your daddy's too fat

克服它吧 Get over it
克服它吧 Get over it
所有的抱怨、嚎哭和尖叫都一樣 All this whinin' and cryin' and pitchin' a fit
克服它吧,克服它吧 Get over it, get over it

你說你已經大不如前 You say you haven't been the same since
自從你受到小小的打擊 you had your little crash
如果我給你一點現金你卻有可能感覺好一點 But you might feel better if I gave you some cash
我越想越覺得,莎翁說得對 The more I think about it, Old Billy was right
“把所有的律師幹掉,今天晚上幹掉他們” Let's kill all the lawyers, kill 'em tonight
你不想工作,你想過帝王般的生活You don't want to work, you want to live like a king
但這可惡的世界並不欠你分毫 But the big, bad world doesn't owe you a thing

克服它吧 Get over it
克服它吧 Get over it
假如你不想玩,那你倒不如離開 If you don't want to play, then you might as well split
克服它吧,克服它吧 Get over it, Get over it

每次我聽你講話 It's like going to confession
就好像去告解一樣 every time I hear you speak
你正在延續你的失敗經歷 You're makin' the most of your losin' streak
有人說那是病態,但我說那是懦弱 Some call it sick, but I call it weak

你每天拖拉著沉重的鎖鏈與鉛球 You drag it around like a ball and chain
你沈湎於罪咎裡,你沈湎於痛苦裡You wallow in the guilt; you wallow in the pain
你彷彿在搖旗吶喊,你把它當冠冕一樣的帶著 You wave it like a flag, you wear it like a crown
把你的思想丟到水溝裡,把所有人都往下拖 Got your mind in the gutter, bringin' everybody down
抱怨現在又責怪過去 Complain about the present and blame it on the past
我想找到你的內在小孩 I'd like to find your inner child
然後狠狠地踢他屁股 and kick its little ass

克服它吧 Get over it
克服它吧 Get over it
所有的謾罵、悲啼和尖叫都一樣 All this bitchin' and moanin' and pitchin' a fit
克服它吧,克服它吧 Get over it, get over it

克服它吧 Get over it
克服它吧 Get over it
有一天它將會停下來,那你為何不干脆放棄?It's gotta stop sometime, so why don't you quit
克服它吧,克服它吧Get over it, get over it
