他们说他们是文明的
因为他们知道如何拿斧锯
来砍伐树木，以供人制器利用

他们说他们是文明的
因为他们知道如何拿刀枪，制作陷阱
来猎取禽兽，以供人宰杀食用

他们说他们是文明的
因为他们知道如何拿药物
来繁殖牲畜和农作物，使长得更快更好看

他们说他们是文明的
因为他们知道如何想方设法
抓取财富和权利，图谋自己的享受和荣耀

他们说他们是文明的
因为他们知道如何发明最新武器
来发动战争，征服别的国家

他们一往直前，力求达到目的
可是会造成什么结果和副作用
他们却一概不管，随心所欲地施为

他们说他们是文明的
没错，他们很聪明，是文明的
因为他们说他们是文明的

They Say They Are Civilized　 Hsu ChiCheng

They say they are civilized
Because they know how to use saws and axes
To fell trees, for people’s utility

They say they are civilized
Because they know how to take up arms, how to set a trap
To capture birds and animals, for people’s food

They say they are civilized
Because they know how to use medicines or herbs
To propagate domestic animals and crops, to make them grow quicker and fairer

They say they are civilized
Because they know how by hook or crook
To get power and wealth, to get their glory and enjoyment

They say they are civilized
Because they know how to invent new weapons
To wage a war, to conquer other countries

They walk a straight line, striving to achieve the goal
As for the results and side effects
They care nothing, and they do whatever they like

They say they are civilized
Yes, they are intelligent, and civilized
Because they say they are civilized
