Clean-Cut Kid (tradução)

Bob Dylan

21 acessos

Todo mundo quer saber porquê ele não conseguia se ajustar
Ajustar a quê, a um sonho que fracassou?
Ele era um garoto bonito
Mas eles fizeram dele um matador
É isso que eles fizeram
Eles disseram que o que sobe, desce, disseram que o que não é, é
Eles puseram idéias em sua cabeça, que ele pensava que eram dele
Ele era um garoto bonito
Mas eles fizeram dele um matador
É isso que eles fizeram
Ele estava no time de beisebol, ele estava na banda
Quando fez 10 anos, ele tinha uma barraca de melancias
Ele era um garoto aabonito
Mas eles fizeram dele um matador
É isso que eles fizeram
Ele ia à igreja aos domingos, ele era escoteiro
Pelos seus amigos ele virava os bolsos do avesso
Ele era...
Eles disseram, "Escute garoto, você é apenas um pirralho"
Eles o mandaram para uma estação de águas de napalm para crescer
Eles deram a ele drogas para fumar, bebidas e pílulas
Um jipe para dirigir, sangue para derramar
Eles disseram, "Parabéns, você agora está completo"
Eles o mandaram de volta à caçada de ratos, sem freios
Ele era...
Ele comprou o sonho americano, mas ficou endividado
O único jogo que podia jogar era roleta russa
Ele bebia Coca-Cola, estava comendo Wonder Bread
Comia Burger Kings, ele estava bem alimentado
Ele foi a Hollywood para ver Peter O'toole
Ele roubou um Rolls Royce e jogou dentro de uma piscina
Eles pegaram um garoto bonito
E eles fizeram dele um matador
É isso que eles fizeram
Ele podia ter vendido seguros, ter sido dono de um restaurante ou bar
Podia ter sido contador ou uma estrela do tênis
Ele estava usando luvas de boxe, deu um mergulho um dia
Da ponte de Golden Gate para a China Bay
Sua mãe anda sem parar, seu pai chora e geme
Eles tem que dormir juntos numa casa que não possuem
Ele pegaram...
Bem, todo mundo pergunta porque ele não conseguia se ajustar
Tudo que ele sempre quis saber era alguém em quem confiar
Eles pegaram sua cabeça e a viraram do avesso
Ele nunca soube o que estava acontecendo
Ele tinha um emprego seguro, ele cantava no coro
Ele nunca planejou andar na corda bamba

Letra original

Everybody wants to know why he couldn't adjust
Adjust to what, a dream that bust?
He was a clean-cut kid
But they made a killer out of him,
That's what they did
They said what's up is down, they said what isn't is
They put ideas in his head he thought were his
He was a clean-cut kid
But they made a killer out of him,
That's what they did
He was on the baseball team, he was in the marching band
When he was ten years old he had a watermelon stand
He was a clean-cut kid
But they made a killer out of him,
That's what they did
He went to church on Sunday, he was a Boy Scout
For his friends he would turn his pockets inside out
He was a clean-cut kid
But they made a killer out of him,
That's what they did
They said, "Listen boy, you're just a pup"
They sent him to a napalm health spa to shape up
They gave him dope to smoke, drinks and pills,
A jeep to drive, blood to spill
They said "Congratulations, you got what it takes"
They sent him back into the rat race without any brakes
He was a clean-cut kid
But they made a killer out of him,
That's what they did
He bought the American dream but it put him in debt
The only game he could play was Russian roulette
He drank Coca-Cola, he was eating Wonder Bread,
Ate Burger Kings, he was well fed
He went to Hollywood to see Peter O'Toole
He stole a Rolls Royce and drove it in a swimming pool
They took a clean-cut kid
And they made a killer out of him,
That's what they did
He could've sold insurance, owned a restaurant or bar
Could've been an accountant or a tennis star
He was wearing boxing gloves, took a dive one day
Off the Golden Gate Bridge into China Bay
His mama walks the floor, his daddy weeps and moans
They gotta sleep together in a home they don't own
They took a clean-cut kid
And they made a killer out of him,
That's what they did
Well, everybody's asking why he couldn't adjust
All he ever wanted was somebody to trust
They took his head and turned it inside out
He never did know what it was all about
He had a steady job, he joined the choir
He never did plan to walk the high wire
They took a clean-cut kid
And they made a killer out of him,
That's what they did
