I'm going to rent myself a house

In the shade of the freeway

And go to work each day

I'll get up and do it again Amen Say it again Amen

I want to know what became of the changes

Were they only the fitful dreams Of some greater awakening

I've been aware of the time going by

You'll get up and do it again Amen

Caught between the longing for love
裹挟在对爱的渴望之中
And the struggle for the legal tender

Where the sirens sing and the church bells ring

And the junk man pounds his fender

Where the veterans dream of the fight
那些思索战争的老兵
Fast asleep at the traffic light
在红绿灯那里酣然入梦
And the children solemnly wait for the ice cream vendor

Out into the cool of the evening strolls the pretender

He knows that all his hopes and dreams begin and end there

Ah the laughter of the lovers as they run through the night

Leaving nothing for the others but to choose off and fight

And tear at the world with all their might
用他们的力量撕裂这个世界
While the ships bearing their dreams
然而满载着他们梦想的船
Sail out of sight
还在扬帆远航
I'm going to find myself a girl

Who can show me what laughter means
她能告诉我那笑声的含义
And we'll fill in the missing colors
这样我们就能在空洞机械的梦中
In each other's paint-by-number dreams
找回丢失的色彩
And then we'll put our dark glasses on
然后我们带上太阳镜
And we'll make love until our strength is gone
缠绵至耗尽力气
And when the morning light comes streaming in
当晨曦流入
We'll get up and do it again Get it up again
我们日复一日
I'm going to be a happy idiot and struggle for the legal tender
我想做个无忧无虑努力赚钱的傻瓜
Where the ads take aim and lay their claim

To the heart and the soul of the spender

And believe in whatever may lie

In those things that money can buy
