'Cause if there's one thing that she don't need 因为如果有一件事是她不需要

It's another hungry mouth to feed 这是另一种饥饿的嘴里喂

The child needs a helping hand 孩子需要援手

Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day 或者，他会成长为一个愤怒的年轻人有一天

Are we too blind to see 我们是否过于盲目看

Do we simply turn our heads 难道我们只是把我们的头

Well the world turns 以及世界变成

And a hungry little boy with a runny nose 和一个饥饿的小男孩流鼻涕

Plays in the street as the cold wind blows 在大街上扮演的冷风吹

So he starts to roam the streets at night 于是，他开始在街上游荡，晚上

And he learns how to steal 他学会怎么偷

And he learns how to fight 他学会了如何打

Then one night in desperation 在绝望中，然后一个晚上

A young man breaks away 一个年轻人打破了

He buys a gun, steals a car 他买了枪，偷了一辆车

As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man 作为一个人群聚集“圆一个愤怒的年轻人

Face down on the street with a gun in his hand 面朝下放在路边，手里拿着一把枪
