Pink Houses

There's a black man with a black cat livin' in a black neighborhood
有个黑人养了只黑猫 住在黑人区
He's got an interstate runnin' through his front yard
有一条洲际公路在他的前院穿过
You know he thinks that he's got it so good
他自认为自己别无所求
And there's a woman in the kitchen cleanin' up the evenin' slop
有个女人在厨房清洗晚饭的残羹
And he looks at her and says, "Hey darlin', I can remember when
他看着她说 亲爱的我还记得
you could stop a clock."
你让时间停住般迷人的样子

CHORUS:
那不就是我们一同生活着的美国吗
Oh but ain't that America for you and me
那不就是美国应有的样子吗
Ain't that America somethin' to see baby
那不就是美国吗 自由的家园
Ain't that America home of the free
一间属于你我的粉红色房子
Little pink houses for you and me
有个穿着短袖的年轻人
There's a young man in a t-shirt
听着摇滚乐电台
Listenin' to a rockin' rollin' station
他有着油腻的头发 虚伪的笑容
He's got greasy hair, greasy smile
他说 主啊 这一定是我的归宿
He says, "Lord this must be my destination."
因为在我小时候他们就这样告诉我
'Cause they told me when I was younger
孩子 将来你会成为总统
"Boy you're gonna be president."
就像所有那些癫狂的旧梦一样
But just like everything else those old crazy dreams
风水轮流转
Just kinda came and went

越来越多的人聚到这里
:|| CHORUS
他们都知道些什么

在高楼大厦里工作
Well there's people and more people
在墨西哥海湾度假
What do they know know know
Go to work in some high rise
世上有赢家也有输家
And vacation down at the Gulf of Mexico
但那没什么大不了的
Ooh yeah
因为简单的人会为自己的鲁莽付出代价
And ther's winners and there's losers
账单 药片 这些都能置人于死地
But they ain't no big deal
'Cause the simple man baby pays for the thrills, the bills,
the pills that kill

:|| CHORUS
