The Shortest Straw by Metallica
Lyrics & Translation
English
Suspicion is your name
Your honesty to blame
Put dignity to shame
Dishonor
Witchhunt, modern day
Determining decay
The blatant disarray
Disfigure
The public eye’s disgrace
Defying common place
Unending paper chase
Unending
Deafening
Painstaking
Reckoning
This vertigo it doth bring
Shortest straw
Challenge liberty
Downed by law
Live in infamy
Rub you raw
Witchhunt riding through
Shortest straw
The shortest straw has been pulled for you
Pulled for you
Shortest straw
Pulled for you
Shortest straw
Pulled for you
Shortest straw
The shortest straw has been pulled for you
The accusations fly
Discrimination, why?
Your inner self to die
Intruding
Doubt sunk itself in you
Its teeth and talons through
You’re living Catch-22
Deluding
A mass hysteria
A megalomania
Reveal dementia
Reveal
Secretly
Silently
Certainly
In vertigo you will be
Shortest straw
Challenge liberty
Downed by law
Live in infamy
Rub you raw
Witchhunt riding through
Shortest straw
This shortest straw has been pulled for you
Pulled for you
Shortest straw
Pulled for you
Shortest straw
Pulled for you
Shortest straw
Shortest straw has been pulled for you
Shortest straw
Pulled for you
Shortest straw
Pulled for you
Shortest straw
Pulled for you
Shortest straw
Shortest straw has been pulled for you
Behind you, hands are tied
Your being, ostracized
Your hell is multiplied
Upending
The fallout has begun
Oppressive damage done
Your many turned to none
To nothing
You’re reaching your nadir
Your will has disappeared
The lie is crystal clear
Defending
Channels red
One word said
Blacklisted
With vertigo make you dead
Shortest straw
Challenge liberty
Downed by law
Live in infamy
Rub you raw
Witchhunt riding through
Shortest straw
The shortest straw has been pulled for you
Pulled for you

The Shortest Straw (traducción LyricVerse Team)
La sospecha es tu nombre
Tu honestidad a culpar
Pone la dignidad en vergüenza
Deshonor
Caza de brujas, día moderno
Determinando la decadencia
El desorden flagrante
Desfigurar
La desgracia del ojo público
Desafiando el lugar común
Persecución de papeles sin fin
Interminable
Ensordecedor
Meticuloso
Ajuste de cuentas
Este vértigo que trae
Paja más corta
Desafía la libertad
Derribado por la ley
Vive en infamia
Te deja en carne viva
Caza de brujas cabalgando
Paja más corta
La paja más corta ha sido sacada para ti
Sacada para ti
Paja más corta
Sacada para ti
Paja más corta
Sacada para ti
Paja más corta
La paja más corta ha sido sacada para ti
Las acusaciones vuelan
Discriminación, ¿por qué?
Tu ser interior a morir
Intrusivo
La duda se hundió en ti
Sus dientes y garras a través
Estás viviendo un Catch-22
Engañoso
Una histeria masiva
Una megalomanía
Revela demencia
Revelar
Secretamente
Silenciosamente
Ciertamente
En vértigo estarás
Paja más corta
Desafía la libertad
Derribado por la ley
Vive en infamia
Te deja en carne viva
Caza de brujas cabalgando
Paja más corta
Esta paja más corta ha sido sacada para ti
Sacada para ti
Paja más corta
Sacada para ti
Paja más corta
Sacada para ti
Paja más corta
La paja más corta ha sido sacada para ti
Paja más corta
Sacada para ti
Paja más corta
Sacada para ti
Paja más corta
Sacada para ti
Paja más corta
La paja más corta ha sido sacada para ti
Detrás de ti, las manos están atadas
Tu ser, ostracizado
Tu infierno se multiplica
Trastornando
La consecuencia ha comenzado
Daño opresivo hecho
Tus muchos se volvieron ninguno
A la nada
Estás alcanzando tu nadir
Tu voluntad ha desaparecido
La mentira es cristalina
Defendiendo
Canales rojos
Una palabra dicha
En la lista negra
Con vértigo te mata
Paja más corta
Desafía la libertad
Derribado por la ley
Vive en infamia
Te deja en carne viva
Caza de brujas cabalgando
Paja más corta
La paja más corta ha sido sacada para ti
Sacada para ti
