歌词
Well, you know I was a farmer when I was a younger man
年轻时我曾是一个农民
Until the fields got paved with asphalt and they took away my land
直到田野铺上了沥青 他们夺走了我的土地
And now the monument before us, it stands so tall and proud
现在立在我们面前的里程碑 又高又气派
A glorious new minimall upon the earth that I once plowed
漂亮的小型商场就建在我曾经耕种的地方
I sold my house out in the country to rent a trailor by the mall
我把房子卖了 在商场旁边租了一个拖车式的小屋
It's not so bad except the kitchen's just a little small
除了厨房有点小 一切都还算不赖
I got a job at the local hardware store, where I work till five o'clock
我在五金店找了份工作 每天五点下班
But now they built another home improvement palace down the block
但现在他们又要在这里新建住宅区
What's the sense of all this home improvement
住房改善有什么意义
I liked my home the way it was before
我还是喜欢我原来的家
If this is what our town has come to stand for
如果要用这些东西来代表我们的城市
I don't think we need improvement anymore
我认为我们不需要再进行任何改造
I lost my job at the hardware store when the owner closed it down
老板关掉了他的五金店 我丢了工作
He said the rent was just too high to keep his family in this town
他说这里的租金太高生活不下去
He sold his house to an executive, who tore it down to build anew
他把店卖给了一个总经理 总经理将房子拆除后重建
A million dollar mansion with a $20 view
一百万美元的豪宅 看起来却只值二十美元
What's the sense of all this home improvement
住房改善有什么意义
I liked my home the way it was before
我还是喜欢我原来的家
If this is what our town has come to stand for
如果要用这些代表我们的城市
I don't think we need improvement anymore
我认为我们无需再进行任何改造
Oneday this town will reach its goal and everyone will have
总有一天这城市会达标
A Mercedes in the driveway of their subdivision land
人人都会有一辆奔驰停在他们的私家车道上
Clear the way for progress by demolishing the past
拆除过去 为了发展清扫道路
But we need another steakhouse like a hole in the head
但我们完全不需要再多一家牛排店
What's the sense of all this home improvement
住房改善有什么意义
I liked my home the way it was before
我还是喜欢我原来的家
If this is what our town has come to stand for
如果要用这些来代表我们的城市
I don't think we need improvement anymore
我想我们无需再进行任何改造
I don't think we need improvement anymore
我们无需再进行任何改造
