Union Sundown
曲名:工会日落西山
哦,我的鞋子,它们来自新加坡
Well, my shoes, they come from singapore,
我的手电筒来自台湾
My flashlight's from taiwan,
我的桌布来自马来西亚
My tablecloth's from malaysia,
我的皮带扣来自亚马逊
My belt buckle's from the amazon.
你知道的,我这件衬衫来自菲律宾
You know, this shirt i wear comes from the philippines
我开的车是雪佛兰
And the car i drive is a chevrolet,
它是在阿根廷组装的
It was put together down in argentina
装它的伙计一天挣三毛钱
By a guy makin' thirty cents a day.
哦,工会和那美国制造
都已日落西山
Well, it's sundown on the union
这真是个好主意(产业转移与经济全球化)
And what's made in the u.s.a.
直到贪婪挡道
Sure was a good idea
哦,这条丝裙来自香港
'til greed got in the way.
这些珍珠来自日本
哦,这条狗项圈来自印度
Well, this silk dress is from hong kong
这花盆来自巴基斯坦
And the pearls are from japan.
所有的家具都写着“巴西制造”
Well, the dog collar's from india
那里有个女人,拼了命苦干
And the flower pot's from pakistan.
只为每天给一家十二口人带回三毛钱
All the furniture, it says ''made in brazil''
你知道的,那对她来说可是一大笔钱
Where a woman, she slaved for sure
哦,工会和那美国制造
Bringin' home thirty cents a day to a family of twelve,
都已日落西山
You know, that's a lot of money to her.
这真是个好主意
直到贪婪挡道
Well, it's sundown on the union
哦,你知道的,很多人都在抱怨找不到工作
And what's made in the u.s.a.
我说:“你干吗要这么说
Sure was a good idea
你买到的东西里有一件美国货吗?”
'til greed got in the way.
他们不再在美国造一件东西了
你知道的,资本主义高于法律
Well, you know, lots of people complainin' that there is no work.
它说:“卖不出去就不算数”
I say, ''why you say that for
当国内的造价太高
When nothin' you got is u.s.-made?''
你就会去造价便宜的地方建厂
They don't make nothin' here no more,
哦,工会和那美国制造
You know, capitalism is above the law.
都已日落西山
It say, ''it don't count 'less it sells.''
这真是个好主意
When it costs too much to build it at home
直到贪婪挡道
You just build it cheaper someplace else.
哦,那些曾经归你的工作
他们都把它送去了萨尔瓦多
Well, it's sundown on the union
工会是桩大买卖
And what's made in the u.s.a.
他们往外面跑,像极了恐龙
Sure was a good idea
他们以前在堪萨斯种粮食
'til greed got in the way.
现在想种到月球上,还想着生吃
我能预见那天来到 彼时连你自家的花园
Well, the job that you used to have,
都会变成违法的
They gave it to somebody down in el salvador.
哦,工会和那美国制造
The unions are big business, friend,
都已日落西山
And they're goin' out like a dinosaur.
这真是个好主意
They used to grow food in kansas
直到贪婪挡道
Now they want to grow it on the moon and eat it raw.
民主并不统治世界
I can see the day coming when even your home garden
你最好把这事弄明白
Is gonna be against the law.
这世界由暴力统治
但我想最好还是别说出来
Well, it's sundown on the union
从百老汇到银河
And what's made in the u.s.a.
这真是块够大的地盘
Sure was a good idea
如果一个人还要填肚子
'til greed got in the way.
那他便别无选择
哦,工会和那美国制造
Democracy don't rule the world,
都已日落西山
You'd better get that in your head.
这真是个好主意
This world is ruled by violence
直到贪婪挡道
But i guess that's better left unsaid.
From broadway to the milky way,
That's a lot of territory indeed
And a man's gonna do what he has to do
When he's got a hungry mouth to feed.
Well, it's sundown on the union
And what's made in the u.s.a.
Sure was a good idea
'til greed got in the way
