And on that day they'll tell you 而在那一天，他们会告诉你

That life hummed on with no clue 生活哼着歌在没有线索

The warning signs were all dismissed or shouted down 警告标志都被解雇或喊跌

So it goes 如此这般

The kings all failed to tell us 国王都未能告诉我们

The madmen failed to sell us 在疯子没卖给我们

On what would then befall the only life we know 在那么什么会降临，我们唯一知道的生命

   

Were they burning signal fires 难道他们燃烧的火灾信号

To guide us to the fields? 引导我们到田间地头？

Or building funeral pyres? 或建立葬礼柴堆？

The outcome of a final appeal 最终上诉的结果

   

The city lines are down 城市线下

The kerosene's run out 煤油的耗尽

The fracturing of all we relied upon 所有我们赖以压裂

   

Let's shed this unclean skin 让我们摆脱这种皮肤不洁

And start to feel again 并再次开始感觉

'cause all the shoulders 使所有的肩膀

On which to cry are gone 在这哭都没有了

   

The paranoia gripped us 偏执笼罩美国

The rain turned engines to rust 雨转身发动机生锈

The panic set in like a cancer to our hearts 恐慌设定在像癌症，以我们的心

Spreading through 通过传播

We bet on finite genius 我们打赌有限天才

Or prayed for gods to save us 或祈求神灵来拯救我们

But there was no antidote 但是没有解药

Disease tore us apart 疾病撕毁我们分开

We left bodies in the fields 我们在田里留下尸体

So numb that we forgot how to feel 如此麻木，我们忘了如何去感受

   

The city lines are down 城市线下

The kerosene's run out 煤油的耗尽

The fracturing of all we relied upon 所有我们赖以压裂

   

Let's shed this unclean skin 让我们摆脱这种皮肤不洁

And start to feel again 并再次开始感觉

'cause all the shoulders 使所有的肩膀

On which to cry are gone 在这哭都没有了

   

He looked at the fields 他看着场

And then his hands, 然后他的手，

"All I need is what I have" “所有我需要的是什么，我有”

Then fell a tear of happiness 然后倒幸福的泪

   

She watched the world crumble away 她看着世界远离崩溃

"Is this the end of yesterday?" “这是昨天结束了吗？ ”

"Lord, I hope so," is all he said “主啊，我希望如此， ”他老说

All gone are the old guards 所有飘的老后卫

Gone are the cold, cold wars 飘的冷，冷的战争

Weightless we go forth 无重力我们出去

On wings of amnesty 关于大赦的翅膀

   

All we relied on now 我们所依靠现在

   

The city lines are down 城市线下

The kerosene's run out 煤油的耗尽

The fracturing of all 所有的压裂

We relied upon 我们依靠

   

Let's shed this unclean skin 让我们摆脱这种皮肤不洁

And start to feel again 并再次开始感觉

With no more shoulders 由于没有更多的肩上

Shoulders to cry on now 肩膀到现在哭泣

   

No more, no more 没有更多的，没有更多的

No more, no more 没有更多的，没有更多的

No more, no more 没有更多的，没有更多的

The weight that we once felt is gone 我们曾经感受到的重量消失了
