Written by：Bob Mould

Found a book of interest the other day
前日偶得一本有趣的书卷
Compositions for the young and old to sing
收录老少皆宜吟唱的乐章
Poems written many years ago
那些多年前写就的诗篇
They told of family and hope and other things
诉说着亲情希望与美好向往
Put together in the old days
成书于往昔岁月
When fifteen cents it was a buck
那时十五分钱抵得一块
That's when five would get you ten
五元能当十元使的时光
Before it took you eight just to get you one
不似如今八元才换得一元
Some people they don't care when they're down on their
有些人落魄潦倒时 毫不在意
Luck
命运无常
Cheap thrills are awful hard to find these days
如今连廉价欢愉都难寻觅
No one is amused for free
无人愿无偿取乐
Someone's pulling on your mama's apron strings
有人轻拽你母亲的围裙系带
You'd better run and see who it is
快跑去看看是谁来访
Playing cards with your neighbors on the back porch
在后廊与邻居们玩纸牌
Singing with an old beat up guitar
弹着破旧吉他轻声哼唱
Going to the local swimming hole
曾经常去那方小小的泳池嬉戏
Until they closed it down now there's nowhere to go
如今它已关闭 无处可去
Things used to be so simple long time ago
往昔岁月总是如此简单纯粹
Now everything is so expensive and complicated
而今一切都变得昂贵又复杂
I hear you need a license for just about anything
听说现在做任何事都需要许可证
I no found ohh yeah
再也找不回 唉
Used to be that a handshake was a man's word
握手曾是男人间最重的承诺
Now we settle arguments in court
现在我们却在法庭上解决纷争
No one anyone's intentions anymore
如今无人再相信他人的真心
Rummaging through the attic when I'm home
归家时翻找阁楼旧物
It brings back those memories to me
往事便如潮水般涌来
I'd amuse myself when I was small
儿时总能自得其乐
When I was younger the simplest things would do
年少时最微小的快乐也满足
Now I'm on everybody's mailing list
如今信箱塞满促销单
For things I can't afford to buy
尽是我无力承担的商品
I hear the weatherman
天气预报员的声音
He says it looks like rain for a while
他说看来要下一阵雨了
I guess I'll have to stay inside
我想我只能待在屋里
Make peanut butter sandwiches and cry
做着花生酱三明治 黯然神伤
