Carnegie Symphony – 卡內基交響曲

Composer/Lyricist/Singer/Arranger: Yi-Jen Lin
Recording Engineer: Dave

歌詞：

今天的天氣很好  太陽公公出來微笑  微風吹著感覺很好  讓人心情整個是好
校隊在操場慢跑  女生在旁邊尖叫  學校整個氣氛很好  就像是應該要ＧＯ ＯＵＴ

這裡就是我的學校  人稱卡內基的學校  聽說學校聲望很好  全國排名名列前茅
我卻在建築物裡咆哮  因為教授人不是很好  功課整個很難很鳥  加上昨天又沒睡飽

難道學校單位的心腸不好  想要幹掉學生拿了學費就落跑
我只想說我平常只有ＨＡＬＬＯＷＥＥＮ才能睡覺  難道這是我老爸老媽期望的解藥

其實這樣都還好  重要的是我的ＰＲＯＪＥＣＴ真的很無聊
ＰＲＯＤＵＣＥＲ雞歪難搞  我想逃跑
其實這樣都還好  重要的是我變胖變老女朋友交不到
成績拿Ａ有什麼好屌  我想落跑
我想放下一切  回到大自然的懷抱

最近我的運氣不好  鄰居每天半夜靠腰  違規停車罰單沒繳  警察約我去法院幹樵
喜歡的女生對我不好  期中期末還沒唸好  前天跳水滑了一跤  到醫院敷了藥膏

難到學校警察道德不好  不知道學生很窮三餐都吃不飽
我只想說生活週遭每件事都做不好  難道是我好人做太多老天爺給我的回報

其實這樣都還好  重要的是我的ＰＲＯＪＥＣＴ真的很無聊
ＰＲＯＤＵＣＥＲ雞歪難搞  我想逃跑
其實這樣都還好  重要的是我變胖變老女朋友交不到
成績拿Ａ有什麼好屌  我想落跑
我想放下一切  回到大自然的懷抱
別在我耳邊轟隆  整天對著我咆哮

1st Conversation:
Professor: Check attendance! Yi-Jen Lin?
Classmate A: Professor, he said he wants to relax today and might not come to class.
Classmate B: Do you have problem? The professor doesn’t understand your Chinese!

1st Verse:
Today the weather is really nice, the smiling sun and the breeze make me feel happy and very comfortable. The school team players are doing warm-up on the athletic ground, and many cute girls are screaming excitedly for them. The feeling campus gives me is really great, making me feel like I should go out.

2nd Conversation:
Classmate A: Wow, so he didn’t appear the whole day!
Classmate B: Who knows? He is not willing to be here.
Classmate A: Wow, but the tuition fee is so expensive….
Classmate B: None of your business! Maybe his family is as rich as gold miners.

2nd Verse:
That’s right, here is my school, called Carnegie Mellon. People said it got really good reputation and it’s one of the best outstanding colleges in US. But the weird thing is that I feel so stressed out in the building, in such a good weather, just because of the unfriendly professor, difficult and endless homework, and almost no sleep last night.

1st Pre-Chorus:
Are the school officers really bad and try to kill all the students so that they can get the tuition fee and just run away? I just want to say I only can sleep in Halloween holidays and I don’t think that’s my parents’ expectation for me.

1st Chorus:
Actually those things don’t bother me that much, but my boring project and unfriendly producer make me really want to run away. Besides that, I became fatter and older so that no girls are interested in me now. Getting an A grade in my transcript doesn’t make sense to me. I just hope I can run away, get rid of everything and lead an easier life in nature.

3rd Conversation:
Classmate A: Hey Yi-Jen, you didn’t appear for whole the day!
Yi-Jen Lin: Yeah…..I just got a little tired recently..

3rd Verse:
Recently I’m in bad luck. My neighbor is singing loud in midnight, I forgot to pay the tickets and the police ask me to go to parking court. The girl I like is not interested in me, I don’t have enough time preparing for mid-term, I got hurt when diving in the pool, and went to hospital.

2nd Pre-Chorus:
Are the school police really not considerable? They don’t know the students are too poor to have even a good dinner. I just want to say I have behaved myself so far and why does the god treat me like this?

2nd Chorus:
Actually those things don’t bother me that much, but my boring project and unfriendly producer make me really want to run away. Besides that, I became fatter and older so that no girls are interested in me now. Getting an A grade in my transcript doesn’t make sense to me. I just hope I can run away, get rid of everything and lead an easier life in the nature. So, please stop your yelling to me.

*Repeat 2nd Chorus
