As a child on the farm 作为一个孩子在农场

I was warned of the wiles of the city 我被警告了城市的诡计

Of that demon disguise 那恶魔伪装

As the dirt in the skies of the city 在城市的天空的污垢

   

Well they say the proximity warps their minds 嗯，他们说接近扭曲他们的思想

Until they're shooting one another just pass the time 直到他们向我们开枪彼此只是打发时间

And we live it appears 而我们生活出现

Both in spite and in fear of the city 无论是在仇恨与恐惧的城市

   

I was constantly told 我经常告诉

How our lives were controlled by the city 如何我们的生活是由城市控制

How they keep us in debt 他们是如何让我们的债务

With the trends that they set it's a pity 随着他们设置的发展趋势很遗憾

   

Now the beautiful people in the magazines 现在，美丽的人在杂志

Got the normal ones living beyond their means 得到正常的人入不敷出

And the things that they said 而且事情，他们说：

Made me go in my head to the city 让我走在我的脑海城市

   

When I finally came 当我终于来到

There's some things still the same in the city 有一些东西还是在城市同

You still lie under the thumb 您的拇指下，仍然躺在

Of the rich and the young and the pretty 富人和年轻漂亮的

   

Well they weren't much different than we might act 那么，他们并没有太大的不同，比我们可能会采取行动

If there was that many others that closely packed 如果有很多人认为密集

It's an ancient idea 这是一个古老的想法

But it struck me so clear in the city 但让我吃惊的城市如此清晰
