Crass - 1981 - Where Next Columbus? 日本語字幕

この曲は、若き日の理想主義が現実社会の欺瞞によって裏切られることをテーマにしつつ、「発見」や「進歩」といった名目で支配や破壊を正当化する帝国主義(象徴的にコロンブスで表現)を痛烈に批判しています。 「Where next Columbus?」という問いは、歴史的な侵略者が新たな支配先を探していることへの皮肉です。 「patriots in power」=「権力の愛国者たち」は、国家や伝統を掲げて自由や反抗を抑圧する存在。 「stupid little bomb」は、核兵器や戦争による破壊的行為を、幼稚で愚かな権力欲として揶揄しています。 Another's hope, another's game Another's loss, another's gain Another's lies, another's truth Another's doubt, another's proof Another's left, another's right Another's peace, another's fight Another's name, another's aim Another's fall, another's fame Another's pride, another's shame Another's love, another's pain Another's hope, another's game Another's loss, another's gain Another's lies, another's truth Another's doubt, another's proof Another's left, another's right Another's peace, another's fight Marx had an idea from the confusion of his head Then there were a thousand more waiting to be led The books are sold, the quotes are bought You learn them well and then you're caught Anothers left, anothers right Anothers peace, anothers fight Mussolini had an idea from the confusion of his heart Then there were a thousand more waiting to play their part The stage was set, the costumes worn And anothers empire of destruction born Anothers name, anothers aim Anothers fall, anothers fame See upcoming rock shows Get tickets for your favorite artists You might also like Masterplan BE:FIRST Street Walk TAKABO No-Yes Number_i Jung had an idea from the confusion of his dream Then there were a thousand more waiting to be seen You're not yourself the theory says But I can help, your complex pays Anothers hope, anothers game Anothers loss, anothers gain Sartre had an idea from the confusion of his brain Then there were a thousand more indulging in his pain Revelling in isolation and existential choice; Can you truly be alone when you use anothers voice?
