Written by：Randy Newman

When Karl Marx was a boy
当卡尔·马克思还是少年时
He took a hard look around
他凝望周遭苦难景象
He saw people were starving all over the place
目睹遍地饥馑蔓延
While others were painting the town
权贵却纵情享乐
The public spirited boy
这心怀苍生的少年
Became a public spirited man
终成心系天下的志士
So he worked very hard and he read everything
他博览群书笔耕不辍
Until he came up with a plan
终铸就变革的蓝图
There'll be no exploitation
剥削将不复存在
Of the worker or his kin
工人及其亲属不再受压迫
No discrimination 'cause of the color of your
肤色差异不再带来歧视
Skin
与偏见
No more private property
私有财产制度
It would not be allowed
将被彻底废除
No one could rise too high
无人能凌驾于他人之上
No one could sink too low
无人能堕入如此深渊
Or go under completely like some we all know
或彻底沉沦 如我们熟知的某些人
If Marx were living today
若马克思活在今日
He'd be rolling around in his grave
他定会在坟墓中辗转难眠
And if I had him here in my mansion on the hill
若我能将他请上山巅豪宅
I'd tell him a story would give his old heart
我将讲述的故事
A chill
必令他苍老的心震颤
It's something that happened to me
这是发生在我身上的故事
I'd say Karl I recently stumbled
卡尔 我最近偶然遇见
Into a new family
一个新组建的家庭
With two little children in school
两个小孩都在上学
Where all little children should be
像所有孩子该有的样子
I went to the orientation
我去参加了家长会
All the young mommies were there
年轻妈妈们都在场
Karl you never have seen such a glorious sight
卡尔 你从未见过如此动人的景象
As these beautiful women arrayed for the night
这些盛装赴会的美丽女性
Just like countesses empresses movie stars and
如同伯爵夫人 女皇 电影明星与
Queens
王后们
And they'd come there with men much like me
她们身边总围绕着 与我相似的男人
Froggish men unpleasant to see
那些青蛙般丑陋的嘴脸
Were you to kiss one Karl
若你亲吻其中一人 卡尔
Nary a prince would there be
也变不出王子来
Oh Karl the world isn't fair
噢 卡尔 这世界本就不公
It isn't and never will be
现在不会 将来也永远不会
They tried out your plan
他们尝试实践你的蓝图
It brought misery instead
却只带来无尽苦难
If you'd seen how they worked it
若你目睹实施过程
You'd be glad you were dead
定会庆幸早已长眠
Just like I'm glad I'm living in the land of the
正如我庆幸活在所谓
Free
自由国度
Where the rich just get richer
这里富人愈富
And the poor you don't ever have to see
而穷人永远隐没在视线之外
It would depress us Karl
这会让卡尔感到沮丧
Because we care
因为我们仍在乎
That the world still isn't fair
这世界依旧不公平
