Текст песни: The Day Everything Became Nothing + перевод

The day everything became nothing

I was standing underneath a streetlight

Wishing I had a cigarette

I can’t recall anything unusual about it

If there was something in the air

If the skies had clouded over

I wasn’t aware

I was too bored to care

No thunder roared. No lightning cracked

No missiles rained from the sky

This was no sneak attack

There was just suddenly this awful lack

Things had changed, that’s for sure

The day everything became nothing

You couldn’t put your finger on what had gone wrong

The alleys were still dirty; the garbage still smelled;

There was no panic in the streets;

Just a lot of grief…

In people’s faces, in their eyes…

A mixture of horror

And total surprise

This was no apocalypse

No one heard a voice from the sky

There were no miracles at the 7-eleven

No one screamed, No one even asked why

It was just like everything had somehow, quietly died

So let it die!

I can’t recall much of what happened next

I was on my way to visit this woman I knew

All we had in common was good sex

And now I couldn’t even remember her address

A group of us, just strangers, got together and we formed a committee to

discuss the problem

We talked about things like assured mutual destruction and emotional

responsibility

I couldn’t remember my name, so I called myself Bob

It’s weird being a Bob, but i’ll get used to it

I have to
