Read the paper, things look grim 看报纸，事情看起来狰狞

Watch the news, the outlook's dim 看新闻，前景的暗淡

It's clear to see that there is something wrong 很明显地看到，有什么不对

Could be that we don't change a lot 可能是因为我们没有发生很大的变化

But we should give it our best shot 但是，我们应该给我们最好的拍摄

Our only weapon is a song 我们唯一的武器是一首歌

   

Maybe we're being too naive 也许我们太天真

But this is something we believe 不过，这是后话，我们相信

What's beyond belief is just how much is wrong 什么是难以置信的是到底有多少是错的

Nothing is gained when people fight 当别人打什么的获得

Maybe our heads aren't screwed on tight 也许我们的头脑都没有拧紧

Our only weapon is a song 我们唯一的武器是一首歌

   

We're not building bombs or storing ammunition 我们不建设炸弹或储存弹药

We're just playing songs hoping people will listen 我们只是打歌希望人们会听

Others try hate but hate won't move anything 别人想恨，但恨不会动任何东西

We're trying love and unity too 我们正在努力的爱与团结过

We're not packing pistols, we're not waging war 我们不是在包装手枪，我们不发动战争

Most of our missiles have only four chords 我们大部分的导弹只有四个和弦

It's not a great plan but we like the agenda 这是不是一个伟大的计划，但我们喜欢的议程

The arsenal's music and the army's our friend 阿森纳的音乐和军队的我们的朋友

   

Could be our idea isn't great 可能是我们的想法是不是很大

Maybe our heads aren't screwed on straight 也许我们的头拧不直

We might be wrong and maybe nothing's wrong 我们可能是错的，也许没有什么是错的

And we might never win the war 我们可能永远不会赢得战争

But we'll have fun and that's for sure 但是，我们将有乐趣，这是肯定的

Our only weapon is a song 我们唯一的武器是一首歌
