Smoking down the track
浓烟沿着铁轨蔓延
I'm a fireball mill
我如烈焰翻腾的工厂
Lord coal's so black
煤炭漆黑如墨
Can't even see the rail
连铁轨都难以辨认
Followin' tongues of steel
追随着钢铁的轨迹
Behind I drive the wheel
我转动着沉重的车轮
Pulls the weight of the world
背负着整个世界的重量
Coming up the road
沿着道路缓缓前行
Another rubber tire four
又一辆橡胶轮胎车
They got us hooked on oil
我们深陷石油的瘾
'Til the pipeline blow
直到输油管爆裂
Such a shame to see
如此可悲的景象
Adding World War Three
第三次世界大战的阴云
To the weight of the world
压在这世界的肩头
Yeah the weight of the world
是啊 这世界的重担
Up the top of a mountain
攀上高山之巅
Well I ne'er should
我本不该承受
Poisonous as the river
如毒河般污浊
With the devils's own sludge
恶魔的淤泥翻涌
It's the American dream
这所谓的美国梦
But if you live downstream
若你居于下游
Here comes the weight of the world
世界的重压便临头
Ton of plastic bottles
成吨塑料瓶罐
Headed out to sea
正漂向海洋尽头
Bound to build an island
注定要筑起一座孤岛
Thanks to you and me
全拜你我所赐
Another man-made pearl
又一颗人造珍珠
For the junk we hurl
由我们丢弃的垃圾堆成
Top the weight of the world
压垮世界的重担
Yeah the weight of the world
是啊 这世界的重担
I got to feed the baby
我得喂养婴儿
Recompense the rent
还得偿还房租
For the way I think I
为我所思所想付出代价
Where all the money went
钱财去向何方
Well there's a piper to pay
总有账单要偿还
Can't get away
无处可逃
From the weight of the world
这世界的重压之下
Look up in the sky
抬头望向苍穹
Is it a bird or a plane
是飞鸟还是铁翼
Taking love to delight
载着欢愉的爱意
Drove us all insane
将我们逼至疯狂边缘
Since it send us reeling
当它令我们天旋地转
The only thing with feeling
唯一尚存知觉的
Is the weight of the world
是这世界的千钧重担
First we get so numb
起初我们麻木不仁
Then we all succumb
最终我们全线溃败
To the weight of the world
压在这世界的肩头
Yeah the weight of the world
是啊 这世界的重担
