We paint this town in shades of gray 我们画这个小镇的灰色阴影

And the walls look high 和墙壁看起来高

'Til you step away 直到你一步之遥

Ain't it funny how you can look around 是不是很可笑，你如何看四周

And never see the truth 再也看不到的真相

'Til it knocks you down 直到5.20你

Never see the light 从来没有见光

'Til you're tradin down 直到你的交易性下降

   

Work hard labor for your daily bread 努力工作的劳动为你每天的面包

While the golden dream spins around your head 而金色的梦在你的头上旋转

Time gets money, money buys you time 时间变金钱，金钱可以买到你的时间

For the foolish things that you left behind 对于您留下的愚蠢的事

Workin workin overtime 干活干活加班

And tradin down 和的交易性下降

   

It's gunna be alright (he said) 它的贡纳没事的（他说）

It's gunna be alright 这是贡纳没事

There's nothing that's here for us 有什么，在这里我们

That we won't mind missin 我们不会介意的想念

   

There's no future for thw workin man 有没有未来THW干活的人

See him growin old in the promised land 看他慢慢生长老在应许之地

Nothin to show for the wasted years 没什么，以示对岁月蹉跎

But a heart full of hollow 但一个完整的空心心脏

And a taste of tears 和泪水的味道

Pushin Monday to the wall and 星期一推着向壁和

Tradin' down... 的交易性下来...
