They tell me I've paid back the debt I owed
他们说我已经偿还了欠下的债
Forty four months since the slammer door closed
铁门紧闭已过去四十四个月
They give me a suit and put me back on
他们给我一套西装 让我重新上路
The road
这条
And my thoughts are racing
思绪纷飞的路
Where do I go what am I supposed to live
我该去向何方 靠什么维持生计
On
当
What happens when the twenty five dollars is gone
那二十五美元花光后又将如何
That leaves me lots of time to wonder why I
这让我有太多时间去思考为何
Was born
降生于世
But the countdown is on
但倒计时已然开始
Everybody's dancing
众人皆在起舞
The music sounds entrancing but you can't find the beat
乐声令人沉醉 却寻不到节拍
It's the ticking of a thousand human time bombs
那是千枚人性定时炸弹的
Who are back on the street
滴答作响
Oh the names have been changed but the story's the
啊 姓名虽已更改 故事却仍
Same
相同的轮回
History will repeat
历史终将重演
Add it all up and then divide it by zero
将所有得失归零清算
'Cause you're back on the street
因你又重回街头徘徊
I can't stand the strain of this job no more
这份工作已让我不堪重负
I must have forgot what I took it on for
早忘却当初为何承受
I make lots of money yet still I want more
纵使腰缠万贯仍不知足
And my head is blazing
而我的头脑正熊熊燃烧
I think that I'll check out the shops downtown
我想去市中心逛逛商店
Sometimes it helps to buy things when I feel brought
低落时购物或许能缓解
Down
痛苦
At this hour I might dodge those hippie low life's
这个点能避开那些嬉皮混混
Around
游荡
But the countdown is on
但倒计时已然开始
Once you had to stand out looking for a handout
曾几何时你也得站在街头乞讨
Free love and body heat
乞求温饱与温暖
And that money's just a crumpled green ball in your
那些钞票不过是你口袋里皱巴巴的绿纸团
Pocket
当你重回街头
When you're back on the street
当你重回街头
Oh the names have been changed but the story's the
啊 姓名虽已更改 故事却仍
Same

History will repeat

Add it all up and then divide it by zero

'Cause you're back on the street
因你又重回街头徘徊
Back on the street again
再次流落街头
Said you're back on the street again
他们说你又回到了街头
The countdown is on
倒计时已经开始
And nobody knows when
却无人知晓终点何时来临
Spreading like a cancer
像癌细胞般蔓延扩散
Looking for the answer in everyone you meet
在遇到的每个人身上寻找答案
And each in his way has a hustle to play
每个人都用各自的方式挣扎求生
When he's back on the street
当他重返街头之时
Oh the names have been changed but the story's the
啊 姓名虽已更改 故事却仍
Same

将所有得失归零清算
'Cause you're back on the street
因你又重回街头徘徊
Back on the street again
再次流落街头
Said you're back on the street again
他们说你又回到了街头
The countdown is on
倒计时已经开始
And nobody knows when
却无人知晓终点何时来临
