開立先生發明了冷氣

開立先生發明了冷氣但是誰發明了溫室效應
更早以前悉達多了悟這個世界終將成為一個巨大的烤箱
現在我們乖乖排隊成為粉絲、選票和流量

開立先生發明了冷氣但是誰發明了光和熱
更早以前柏拉圖在洞穴的岩壁上看到這個世界原本只是個被我們以為的影子
現在我們學會了匿名酸爆一切我們堅決反對的理想

開立先生發明了冷氣但是誰發明了謊言媚俗
更早以前討人厭的叔本華金句這個世界的意志與表象
現在我們甘願不假思索不多也不少的跟著這樣和那樣

    Mr. Kail Invented the Air Conditioner
Mr. Kail invented the air conditioner,
yet who invented the greenhouse effect?
Long before that, Siddhartha already knew
the world would one day turn into a colossal oven.
Now we stand in neat lines,
converted into fans, ballots, and traffic.

Mr. Kail invented the air conditioner,
yet who invented light and heat?
Long before that, Plato watched shadows
tremble across the cave wall,
mistaken by us for the world itself.
Now we master the art of anonymous attacks,
acidifying every ideal we swear we oppose.

Mr. Kail invented the air conditioner,
yet who invented lies and kitsch?
Long before that, the irritating Schopenhauer insisted
the world is will,
and nothing but its appearances.
Now we follow along willingly,
without thinking,
not more, not less,
just this and that.
