I Don’t Like the Comics You Drew

Rap & Lyrics: Lei Lei (雷磊)

所有科幻的剧情早就乏味无聊
Science fiction has been boring for a while

漫画没营养,不如喝罐功能饮料
Comics lack nutrition, I’d rather have an energy drink

想象力的堆砌让我觉得豪无逻辑
Imagination piling-on makes me gasp for logic

好像在阅读谁的户口本和驾照
Just as boring as someone’s ID or driver’s license

早就应该用发夹 夹住你的鼻子
You should’ve used a hair clasp to clip your nose

用橡皮筋捆住你的大拇指和幻肢
Used a rubber band to bind your thumb and phantom limbs

用瓜子和橘子皮填充你的大脑
Filled your brain with melon seeds and orange peels

现在才华横溢的漫画家早就已经死掉
All talented cartoonists died a long time ago

下个画面,空旷的高速公路
In the next scene, an open highway

在雾里抓住一只蜥蜴把它变做铅笔
In the fog, catch a lizard and make it your pencil

舌头吐出来就像自动铅笔的笔芯
Its stuck-out tongue will be the lead

然后拽掉它的尾巴变出一块橡皮
Take its tail off and make it your eraser

下个画面,满地狼藉的玻璃碎片
In the next scene, pieces of glass spread on the ground

每块玻璃捡起来都是一本书
Pick up any piece, you can read it like a book

真的一点也不浪漫,这不是图书馆
This’s truly unromantic. This’s not a library

阅读后要把它吃掉就像是压缩饼干
After reading it you have to eat it like a hardtack

呸,呸,呸,呸,呸,不喜欢你画的漫画
Pft! Pft! Pft! Pft! Pft! I don’t like the comics you drew

但这不是藉口!绝对不是!
But this’s not an excuse! Absolutely not!

不喜欢漫画,因为平淡无奇的故事
I don’t like your comics ‘cuz the story is so boring

就像,午夜电视连续剧平庸的台词
Like those cheesy lines in a Lifetime drama

就像,老教授只能够在浴缸里面写诗
Like an old professor who only writes poetry in a bathtub

下个画面,浴缸变成汪洋大海
In the next scene, the bathtub turns into the sea

把水母捞起来全部晒干作为白纸
Fish out the jellyfish and dry them into sheets of blank paper

装订成册就是一本乏味的诗歌
Staple ‘em together and you got a collection of tedious poetry

大声朗诵,还可以用来解渴
Read it out loud, or use it to quench your thirst

下个画面,海浪冻结为冰山
In the next scene, the waves freeze into icebergs

紫红色的抹香鲸,被困在了山中
Trapping a magenta sperm whale within

它一动不动,一颗流星从天而降
It stays motionless as a meteor falls from the sky

穿透心脏,它留在盘子中央
And penetrates its heart. It remains in the middle of the basin

呸,呸,呸,呸,呸,不喜欢你画的漫画
Pft! Pft! Pft! Pft! Pft! I don’t like the comics you drew
