Walking down madison
漫步在麦迪逊大道上
I swear I never had a gun
我发誓我从未有过枪
No I never shot no one
我从未伤害过任何人
I was only having fun
我只是觉得好玩
Walking down madison
漫步在麦迪逊大道上
Swear I never had a gun
我发誓我从未有过枪
I was philosophizing some
我陷入沉思
Checking out the bums
看看这些流浪汉
See you give'em your nickels your pennies and dimes
你把你的钱都给了他们
But you can't give'em hope in these mercenary times oh no
但在金钱至上的时代你不能给他们希望
And you feel real guilty about the coat on your back
你对自己身上的外套感到愧疚不已
And the sandwich you had oh no
你吃的三明治
From an uptown apartment to a knife on the a train
从郊区的公寓到火车上的一把刀
It's not that far
并不遥远
From the sharks in the penthouse to the rats in the basement
从顶层公寓的鲨鱼到地下室的老鼠
It's not that far
并不遥远
To the bag lady frozen asleep in the park
敬公园里睡着的有钱女人
Oh no it's not that far
并不遥远
Would you like to see some more
你还想看吗
I can show you if you'd like to
如果你愿意我可以带你去
Walking down madison
漫步在麦迪逊大道上
I swear I never had a gun
我发誓我从未有过枪
No I never shot no one
我从未伤害过任何人
Wouldn't do it just for fun
不会为了好玩而做
Walking down madison
漫步在麦迪逊大道上
Trying to keep my head screwed on
试图让我保持清醒
I was philosophizing some
我陷入沉思
Checking out the nuns
看看那些修女
When you get to the corner don't look at those freaks
当你走到街角时不要看那些怪咖
Keep your head down low and stay quick on your feet oh yeah
低着头加快脚步
The beaming boy from harlem with the airforce coat
来自哈莱姆区穿着空军大衣神采奕奕的男孩
The ones who died
那些死去的人
The ones who tried
那些尝试过的人
The ones that sit and gloat
那些坐在那里洋洋得意的人
From an uptown apartment to a knife on the a train
从郊区的公寓到火车上的一把刀
It' s not that far
不是很远
From the sharks in the penthouse to the rats in the basement
从顶层公寓的鲨鱼到地下室的老鼠
It's not that far
并不遥远
To the bag lady frozen asleep on the church steps
敬躺在教堂台阶上睡着的有钱女人
It's not that far

Would you like to see some more

I can show you if you'd like to

Within every city and town there's a madison
每个城镇都有一座麦迪逊大道
Frozen lives for whom nothing's happening
冰冷的生命对他们而言毫无意义
Hungry children is a mother's dilemma
饥饿的孩子让母亲进退两难
Dumpster diving to feed her baby emma
跳进垃圾箱喂她的孩子Emma
So you walk on by like it doesn't affect you
所以你若无其事地离去
The held out hand that you pay no respect to
你毫不在意地伸出手
Nickels and dimes won't even buy your guilt
一分钱一分货买不到你的罪恶感
Another wino dead burnt to death in his quilt
又一个醉鬼躺在被子里活活烧死
It's a cardboard city newspaper metrapolis
这是一个纸板城市报纸大都市
The system can't cope or keep on top of this
这个系统无法应对也无法掌控
The outhorities come as you're not for display
强势来袭你不是用来炫耀的
Do they solve the problem no they move him away
他们能否解决问题他们能否让他搬走
They're in a vicious circle of no fixed abode
他们陷入了居无定所的恶性循环
The social won't pay'em the money they re owed
社会不会把欠他们的钱还给他们
When you got no money you can't pay rent
当你身无分文时你连房租都付不起
Hypothermia kills cos the system is bent
低温会致命因为这世界扭曲了
From an uptown apartment to a knife on the a train
从郊区的公寓到火车上的一把刀
It's not that far
并不遥远
From the sharks in the penthouse to the rats in the basement
从顶层公寓的鲨鱼到地下室的老鼠

In the subway sits a vacuous man
地铁里坐着一个空洞的男人
His grip on life is a bent tin can
他对人生的掌控就像一个被压弯的罐子
It's a holy shrine where he burns his light
这是一个神圣的圣地他在那里绽放光芒
It makes things easy and removes his plight

For an hour or two but he can't escape

They're all penned in with government tape

There are good samaritans who bring them soup
有好心人给他们送汤来
The sally army with their bibles and boots
带着圣经和战靴的Sally军队
You can see yourselves it's not too far

One short trip you don't know who they are
一次短途旅行你不知道他们是谁
Till the night comes then it all comes back
直到夜幕降临一切都恢复如初
Like the smell of patchoulli and the armies of rats
就像广霍香和老鼠的军队
It's a shame to be human it's a human shame
生而为人真的很可耻这是人类的耻辱
It seems we've forgotten we're one and the same
