So I took my guitar 所以我把我的吉他

And I threw down some chords 我扔下一些和弦

Without shame 没有羞耻

And I soon had a song 我很快就有了一首歌

I played it around 我打它周围

For some friends 对于有些朋友

But they all said the same 但他们都表示了相同的

   

They said "Music's for fools 他们说， “音乐的傻子

You should go back to school 你应该回学校

The future is prisons and math." 未来是监狱和数学。 “

So I did what they said 所以我做了什么，他们说

Now my children are fed 现在，我的孩子被送到

Cause they pay me to do what I'm asked 因为他们付我做什么，我问

   

I forgot all my songs 我忘了我的所有歌曲

The words now are wrong 现在的话是错的

And I burned my guitar in a rage 我烧了我的吉他在愤怒

But the fire came to rest 但是火来休息

In your white velvet breast 在你的白色天鹅绒的乳房

So somehow I just know that it's safe 所以，不知何故，我只知道它是安全的
