Текст песни: You've Been Bought + перевод

So the suburbs were jungle

Did you mama make you eat it?

You were barely out of high school

When your daddy told you 'Beat It'

And repression was a buzzword

So you called yourself a victim

A victim of repression

This court is now in session

With a growl and a guitar

You made yourself a name

But the fire left the grooves

When the first check came

You’ve been bought

(Interests are conflicting)

You’ve been bought

(Chemical's addicting)

You’ve been bought

(What goes around, comes around)

You’ll get caught

Get it while you’re hot 'cause you know

You’ve been bought

Sold your bad reputation

For a deal in Tinseltown

Then the video rolls

Then the whip comes down

Did you slap around the ladies for the camera?

Do you slap them when the camera isn’t there?

Those are lawyers telling you to look rebellious

Pulling strings when your fist goes in the air

This year’s rock and roll messiah

Come to settle some old score

You can save that bad boy posturing

I’ve seen that sneer before

You’ve been bought

(A real heavy sweater?)

You’ve been bought

(Elvis did it better)

You’ve been bought

(What goes around, comes around)

You’ll get caught

Get it while you’re hot 'cause you know

You’ve been bought

South African promoters call

And you wonder if you should

But ideals fall like dominoes

When the money looks good

We don’t need another manufactured rebel

We don’t want your twisted doctrines of despair

If your music’s saying nothing save it for the dentist chair

You’ve been bought

(Interests are conflicting)

You’ve been bought

(Chemical's addicting)

You’ve been bought

(What goes around, comes around)

You’ll get caught

Get it while you’re hot 'cause you know

You’ve been bought

You’ve been bought

You’ve been bought

You’ll get caught

Get it while you’re hot 'cause you know

You’ve been bought, hey
