All these years arkansas teachin' at the high school
在阿肯色高中教书多年
How was I to know by retirement day
怎会料到退休之日
I'd learn a lesson so cruel
竟要吞下这般苦果
I came to the day I had waited on
盼星星盼月亮盼到这天
Just to find out all the money in our pension was gone
却发现养老金账户空空如也
We invested in somethin' called the abacus bond
我们投资的所谓算盘债券
Sold to us by a New York banker
是纽约银行家兜售的骗局
Good things happen to bad people bad people bad people
恶人总能得偿所愿 恶人逍遥 恶人快活
Good things happen to bad people bad people bad people
恶人总能得偿所愿 恶人逍遥 恶人快活
A big time banker from New York city

Came down south one day
某日南下到南方
Sold our people on the bond
向我们推销债券
Had our money bettin' on some kinda

Home loans getting' paid

Buy it they say we were clearly told
他们说买吧 我们听信了
This kinda thing was even safer than gold

But later on we found out the bond we'd been sold

Had been set up to fail all along

Though none of our people had ever quite sensed it

Come to find out the bond born to fail'd been built
最终发现这债券生来就会崩盘
So that banker could bet his bread against it
好让那银行家能从中牟取暴利
When the house market crashed our retirement did too

Everybody said there was nothing we could do
所有人都说我们无能为力
That banker walked off with a million or two
