101st Airborne Division

清明光

本首歌的曲調是來自於愛國歌曲《共和國戰歌》（The Battle Hymn of the Republic）歌詞描寫的是一名傘兵在跳傘練習的時候，因為過度緊張，沒有掛上降­落傘開傘的尼龍帶就縱身越出機艙，傘具失靈，最後墜落地面的過程。期間還略帶諷刺地描­寫了他墜落時的心理活動。充滿西方人的黑色幽默

He was just a rookie trooper and he surely shook with fright.
He checked off his equipment and made sure his pack was tight.
He had to sit and listen to those awful engines roar.
You ain't gonna jump no more.
Chorus:
Gory, gory, what a hell of way to die.
Gory, gory, what a hell of way to die.
Gory, gory, what a hell of way to die.
He ain't gonna jump no more.
(Chorus)
"Is everybody happy?" cried the sergeant looking up.
Our hero feebly answered, "Yes", and then they stood him up.
He jumped into the icy blast, his static line unhooked.
And he ain't gonna jump no more.
(Chorus)
He counted long, he counted loud, he waited for the shock.
He felt the wind, he felt the cold, he felt the awful drop.
The silk from his reserve spilled out and wrapped around his legs.
And he ain't gonna jump no more.
(Chorus)
The risers swung around his neck, connectors cracked his dome.
Suspension lines were tied in knots around his skinny bones.
The canopy became his shroud, he hurtled to the ground.
And he ain't gonna jump no more.
(Chorus)
The days he lived and loved and laughed kept running through his mind.
He thought about the girl back home, the one he left behind.
He thought about the medicos and wondered what they'd find.
And he ain't gonna jump no more.
(Chorus)
The ambulance was on the spot, the jeeps were running wild.
The medics jumped and screamed with glee, rolled up their sleeves and smiled.
For it had been a week or more since last a 'chute had failed.
And he ain't gonna jump no more.
(Chorus)
He hit the ground, the sound was "Splat," his blood went spurting high.
His comrades they were heard to say, "A helluva way to die."
He lay there rolling 'round in the welter of his gore.
And he ain't gonna jump no more.
(Chorus)
There was blood upon the risers, there were brains upon the 'chute.
Intestines were a-dangling from his paratrooper suit.
He was a mess, they picked him up and poured him from his boots.
And he ain't gonna jump no more.
Gory, gory, what a hell of way to die.
Gory, gory, what a hell of way to die.
Gory, gory, what a hell of way to die.
He ain't gonna jump no more.

他是個被嚇的全身發抖的菜鳥士兵，
他檢查了他的裝備來確定他的背包有綁緊。
他不得已的坐在那兒，聽那吵雜的引擎嘶吼。
你他媽的都不用跳了！


(副歌)
血肉模糊，血肉模糊，死的多麼淒慘壯烈！
血肉模糊，血肉模糊，死的多麼淒慘壯烈！
血肉模糊，血肉模糊，死的多麼淒慘壯烈！
他再也不用跳了！


「大家都高興嗎？」班長邊抬頭看邊大喊。
我們的「英雄」有氣無力的應和，同袍們接著把他拉起身。
他跳入凜冽的風暴中，脫離了固定繩。
而他再也不用跳了！


(副歌)


他倒數得又久又大聲，等待那猛烈的震撼。
他吹著狂風，他感受著寒冷，感受著恐怖的墜落。
備傘中的絲繩飛衝出來將他的雙腿纏繞住，
而他再也不用跳了！


(副歌)


繫帶繞在他脖子周圍搖盪，環扣擊碎了他的頭蓋骨。
懸吊繩繞在他的皮包骨上打了死結。
他急速的向地面墜下，降落傘頓時成了他的裹屍布。
他再也不用跳了！


(副歌)


他曾活過、愛過和笑過的時光不斷地在他的腦海中閃過。
他也想起那個被自己留在家鄉的女孩。
他也想到哪些醫護兵們將會看到什麼慘狀。
他再也不用跳了！


(副歌)


救護車早在現場待命，同時吉普車也疾駛而來。
醫護兵們興高采烈的邊跳出來邊大叫，捲起他們的袖子並露出微笑；
其實是因為上一次有降落傘故障已經是超過一個禮拜前的事了。
而他再也不用跳了！


(副歌)


啪啦！一聲他終於著地了，鮮血噴得半天高。
聽說他的弟兄們都大嘆：「死的太慘了！」
他躺在深紅的粉碎血肉中翻了好多圈。
他再也不用跳了！


(副歌)


繫帶上沾滿了鮮血，降落傘上噴了他的腦漿。
腸子從他的傘兵裝中垂出來晃啊晃的。
他簡直血肉模糊，大家還得抬他起來將他從他的軍靴裡倒出來。
他再也不用跳傘了！


血肉模糊，血肉模糊，死的多麼淒慘壯烈！
血肉模糊，血肉模糊，死的多麼淒慘壯烈！
血肉模糊，血肉模糊，死的多麼淒慘壯烈！
他再也不用跳了！
