The Pancakes - Patronage

Patronage

beauty you may have it on your face
but you haven't got enough grace
to be a million welcomed babe

sorry i think you're far too vain
but you haven't got enough brains
to be a person that i respect

flowery and complicated writing
is a sign of intellectual strength
no comment on all everyday happenings
is a prerequisite to be cool
oh i'd better shut my mouth

speaking french to those who don't know it
is a way to show that you're superior
let's roll our tongues without necessity
so all of the people will think we are well-educated

chinese translation
美麗可能可以在你面上找到
但是你沒有足夠修養
去令你成為一個萬人迷

對不起我覺得你太囂張
但是你又沒有甚麼智慧
去成為一個我專敬的人

花巧及複雜的寫作方式
是有學識的一種表現
對每天發生的事不願置評
是扮酷的先決條件
噢 我最好立即收聲

對不懂法文的人說法文
是讓人知道你出眾的一個方法
來讓我們無必要地捲舌頭
好讓人們覺得我們受過高等教育
