歌词
Thus all fairy stories end
童话故事到此为止
Only an actress would pretend
只有戏子才会假装
Affairs of state are her latest play
国政大事全凭她逢场作戏
Eight shows a week, two matinees
一周八场演出，还加两次早场
My, how the worm begins to turn
蝼蚁也能借此翻身
When will the chorus girl ever learn?
这个歌女何时才能有所长进
My, how the worm begins to turn
蝼蚁也会翻身反抗
When will the chorus girl ever learn?
这个歌女何时才能吸取教训
The chorus girl hasn't learned the lines you'd like to hear
歌女并未学会讨好你们
She won't go scrambling over the backs of the poor to be accepted
她不想讨好穷人
By making donations just large enough to the correct charity
靠行善积德来博取民心
She won't be president of your wonderful societies of philanthropy
她不想掌权你们所谓的慈善机构
Even if you asked her to be
哪怕你们苦苦哀求
As you should have asked her to be
你们早应苦苦哀求
The actress hasn't learned the lines you'd like to hear
戏子并未学会见风使舵
She won't join your clubs, she won't dance in your halls
她不愿加入你们的俱乐部，在舞厅里翩翩起舞
She won't help the hungry once a month at your tombolas
她不会在你们每月一次的博彩会上扶贫济世
She'll simply take control as you disappear
只需在你们大势去时直接夺权
Forgive my intrusion, but fine as those sentiments sound
恕我插嘴，虽然你说得天花乱坠
Little has changed for us peasants down here on the ground
底层农民的境况依旧堪忧
I hate to seem childish, ungrateful
我并不是孩子气 忘恩负义的人
I don't like to moan
我也不想故作悲鸣
But do you now represent anyone's cause but your own?
但你如今只为自己着想
Everything done will be justified by my foundation
我做的善事不可非议
