(還要注意的是：看看此歌是怎樣推出的？絕不是一個普通的小伙子能夠弄出來。此是大公司的出品呢。是大企業以龐大資金和人力物力，正在推動一種向下的生活方式呢？背景是一間酒吧。用慢動作拍出的縱酒狂歡圖，把當場的壞感都美化了。　)







　　為甚麼美國人認為，「追尋快樂」是一種這樣重要的權利，以至必須寫在「獨立宣言」之中？
　
　　「追尋快樂」，是一個很曖昧的字眼，跟「尋歡作樂」很接近。今日美國，有些流行歌曲，把「追尋快樂」，當作是吸食毒品的同義詞。
　
　　李察試譯其中一首就叫做「Pursuit of Happiness」的歌詞如下：

　　擠一點，小一點，捲一捲，抽一口。覺得亮，覺得光，半夜兩點，夏夜閃閃。我不管，手把軑盤，醉中駕駛，我有自由。在中西部狂奔，縱情任意，夢己醒。有人叫我收一收，我只管狂叫挑（粗言）。我盡我情，往前去不回頭。如果我墮落，如果我死，我知道，我己盡情歡暢。如果我墮落，如果我死，也總好過被子彈射死。

（副歌）我只是追尋快樂。我更知道，發光的東西，也未必就是金。我會好起來的，只要我弄上了手、、、。
　（李察按，在歌曲的下半部，「只要我弄上了手、、、」一句，不斷重覆多次。）
　
　 x x x x
　
　　這首歌，在網上的點擊率是三百多萬（低估了？？？？）。大多數的古典音樂，無論多麼優美，極難有這數字。今日的墮落青年們，找到代言人了。
　





以下是一個網民的呼聲：


Dear Vevo, Let me start by saying get your corporate asses off YouTube! Ever since these big companies started paying off YouTube so they could post their freaking videos we can't post ours. We are flagged for infringement every time we include a song we like in our videos.

This is YOUtube, the place where we can post OUR videos. If we wanted to listen to music from you wed go to your damn website.

To all people who want greedy corporates gone copy and paste this on Vevo shit

Kid Cudi - Pursuit Of Happiness Lyrics



Pursuit Of Happiness Lyrics

VERSE 1:
Crush a bit, little bit, roll it up, take a hit（＊看此四句是甚麼？）
Feelin’ lit feelin’ light, 2 am summer night.
I don't care, hand on the wheel, drivin drunk, I'm doin’ my thang
Rollin the Midwest side and out livin’ my life getting’ out dreams
People told me slow my roll I'm screaming out fuck that
Imma do just what I want lookin’ ahead no turnin’ back
if I fall if I die know I lived it till the fullest
if I fall if I die know I lived and missed some bullets

CHORUS
I'm on the pursuit of happiness and I know everything that shine ain't always gonna be gold（＊唱者唱到此位置高舉耶穌像）
I'll be fine once I get it, I'll be good. x2

VERSE 2:

Tell me what you know about dreamin’ dreamin’
you don't really know about nothin’ nothin’
tell me what you know about them night terrors(*不要以為此是指責。此種行為，才是罪行的成因） every night
5 am, cold sweats wakin’ up to the skies
tell me what you know about dreams, dreams
tell me what you know about night terrors, nothin’
you don't really care about the trials of tomorrow
rather lay awake in a bed full of sorrow

CHORUS:

I'm on the pursuit of happiness and I know everything that shines ain't always gonna be gold
I'll be fine once I get it, I'll be good


CHORUS:

I'm on the pursuit of happiness. I know everything that shines ain't always gold

I'll be fine once I get it, I'll be good. x2

CHORUS:

I'm on the pursuit of happiness and I know everything that shines ain't always gonna be gold, hey
I'll be fine once I get it, yeah, I'll be good

I'm on the pursuit of happiness
And I know everything that shines ain't always gonna be gold, hey
I'll be fine once I get it, yeah
I'll be good

Pursuit of happiness, yeah
I don’t get it, I’ll be good
