EVERYBODY'S FOOL  

世人皆愚

perfect by nature                                             自然的本性缔造出完美

icons of self indulgence                                （但为何要）“绘制”自我放纵的肖像

just what we all need                                       那是因为我们需要
more lies about a world that                            更多的谎言去描绘出一个世界

never was and never will be                             一个从来没有也不会出现的世界
have you no shame don't you see me             难道你都不会感到羞耻吗？难道你看不见我吗？
you know you've got everybody fooled          （那是因为）你明白自己愚弄了整个世界。

look here she comes now                                看！有来了一个蠢人
bow down and stare in wonder                       （向你）鞠躬，痴迷地望着你
oh how we love you                                         天啊！我们怎么会爱上你？
no flaws when you're pretending                     不过你的伪装的确“完美无暇”
but now i know she                                           然而现在我很清楚 她

never was and never will be                             从未（对你）意味着什么以后也不会。
you don't know how you've betrayed me          但你还是不知道自己是多么地“肮脏”
and somehow you've got everybody fooled     不管怎样，你还是做到了，做到了愚弄整个世界

without the mask where will you hide                如果这时间没有“面具”那么你会身藏何方？
can't find yourself lost in your lie                      在谎言中迷失方向？

i know the truth now                                          现在我都明白了
i know who you are                                           我“揭开”了你虚伪的“面具”
and i don't love you anymore                            我不再爱你

it never was and never will be                           你不会，永远也不会
you don't know how you've betrayed me           不会了解你的背叛伤害我有多深。
   and somehow you've got everybody fooled      不过，无论怎样，你还是做到了，你愚弄了整个世界

it never was and never will be                           一切都没有发生，这将永远不会发生
you're not real and you can't save me              你不配“绅士”之名，你无法将我解脱
somehow now you're everybody's fool              但是，无论如何，你还是做到了，你愚弄了整个世界
