  • 作词 : Galas
    You, who speak of crowd control,
    of karma or the punishment of God:
    Do you fear the cages they are building
    in Kentucky, Tennessee and Texas
    while they're giving ten to forty years to find a cure?
    Do you pray each evening out of horror
    or of fear to the savage God
    whose bloody hand
    commands you now to die, alone?
    Let's not chat about Despair.
    Let's not chat about Despair.
    Do you taste the presence of the living dead
    while the skeleton beneath your open window
    waits with arms outstretched?
    Do you spend each night in waiting
    for the Devil's little angels' cries
    to burn you in your sleep?
    Do you wait for miracles in small hotels
    with seconal and compazine
    or for a ticket to the house of death in Amsterdam?
    Let's not chat about Despair.
    Let's not chat about Despair.
    Do you wait in prison for the dreadful day
    the office of the butcher comes to carry you away?
    Do you wait for saviors or the paradise to come in laundry rooms, in toilets, or in cadillacs?
    Are you crucified beneath the life machines
    with a shank inside your neck
    and a head which blossoms like a basketball?
    Let's not chat about Despair.
    Let's not chat about Despair.
    Do you tremble at the timid steps
    of crying, smiling faces who, in mourning,
    now have come to pay their last respects?
    In Kentucky Harry buys a round of beer
    to celebrate the death of Billy Smith, the queer,
    whose mother still must hide her face in fear.
    You who mix the words of torture, suicide and death
    with scotch and soda at the bar,
    we're all real decent people, aren't we,
    but there's no time left for talk:
    Let's not chat about Despair.
    Let's not chat about Despair.
    Let's not chat about Despair. Please
    Don't chat about Despair.
