歌词
Ten thousand yuppies just moved here
上万只雅皮士刚搬到了这里
Ten thousand others came last year
去年又来了上万只家伙
The rent has doubled since I moved in
自从我搬进来,房租涨了一倍
Each month I take it on the chin
每个月我都得忍气吞声
Each month I wonder how many more
每个月我都想他们还要再来多少人
Can I stay in Portland before Before I move into my car
在睡车里之前,我还能在波特兰呆多久
Or end up somewhere behind bars
搞不好我要睡在酒吧后门
Ten thousand yuppies say don't complain
那上万只雅皮士说,别急着抱怨
Now that the city is in the fast lane
如今这座城已驶入转型的快车道
It's just the market and it knows best
这不过是市场经济,它可管用了
That's how the bankers built the west
这就是银行家们建设西部的方案
So just get rich and you can stay Otherwise just go away
所以快去赚钱,你就可以留下来,赚不到钱就请离开
There's no room here for us Holding on under the bus
这里没有我们的房间,打包行李等巴士去吧
I'm just a renter, this ain't my town
我就个租房的,这城我不配
Might as well just burn it down For all I care
来人把它烧了算了,与我无关
Ten thousand yuppies think it's great
上万只雅皮士觉得这很棒
To invest in Portland real estate
一个个都赶来投资波特兰房产
“Keep Portland weird” they like to say But that was over yesterday
他们喜欢喊“让波特兰保持奇异”,但那已成了过往云烟
Of their achievements they're so proud Living lives in some cloud
他们为自己的成就感到骄傲,小生活婉如天上人间
But unlimited data will get you nowhere If you can't afford to care
但如果你负担不起,数不清的文件会保你一事无成
I'm just a renter, this ain't my town
我就个租房的,这城我不配
Might as well just burn it down For all I care
来人把它烧了算了,与我无关
Ten thousand yuppies and on each block
每个街区都住着上万雅皮士
They're flipping houses and taking stock
个个忙着炒房、搞股票
Where's the next place they can transform
找着下个转型的地方在哪里
Tents and mansions, the new norm
帐篷和大厦,新的标准
They like Ted Talks, they like greed
他们爱看Ted演讲,他们爱财富
They like wine bars, they like weed
他们爱逛酒吧,爱
They like bike lanes, they want more
他们喜欢自行车道,他们要建更多
They're the face of the new class war
他们是“新阶级斗争”的代言人
I'm just a renter, this ain't my town
我就个租房的,这城我不配
Might as well just burn it down For all I care
来人把它烧了算了,与我无关
For all I care
与我无关
For all I care
与我无关
