Qing Feng Wu 吳青峰 - 傷風 (Influenza) (English Translation)

[Verse 1]

The ward grows dim, the patients break into a sweat

Specimens lined up on the wall (Di-di-da di-di-da)

All life has left is mishap; humanity's balance sheet

Fear fills one side, lust the other (Di-di-da di-di-da)



[Pre-Chorus]

There's an ill-wind brewing

Every head breeds mischief



[Chorus]

We slowly shrink and dry, shrivel and die

To wallow in self-pity is now the new conformity

I'd rather flounder in ignorance, blow off that physical exam

I'd rather not stick my nose in it

I'd rather be defeated, be badly mistreated

I'd rather be blown sky high



[Verse 2]

Your throat and lungs are filled with influenza, a case of people going missing

Infecting every fiber of your being, every pixel (Di-di-da di-di-da)

You are the petty sneak thieves of crimes insatiable

Your crimes elude the camera-eye



[Pre-Chorus]

There is a crow

Caw-cawing up a storm



[Chorus]

We slowly shrink and dry, shrivel and die

To wallow in self-pity is now the new conformity

I'd rather flounder in ignorance, blow off that physical exam

I'd rather not stick my nose in it

I'd rather be defeated, be badly mistreated

I'd rather be blown sky high



[Bridge]

This blustering ill-wind tries to bring me down

But it's nothing but a headache, a polyp, a pimple

You pollute our skies with your viral infectiousness

Claim our rainbow-colored comet is inauspicious

The less you value us the more you demand

With an unblinking eye



[Chorus]

You watch us shrivel and die (Shrivel and die)

To wallow in self-pity is now the new conformity (New conformity)

I'd rather flounder in ignorance, blow off that physical exam

I'd rather not stick my nose in it

I'd rather be defeated, be badly mistreated

I'd rather be blown sky high

Influenza is a poisonous vapor, whose virulent existence

Makes me want to keep my distance
