Текст песни: Desperate Times + перевод

Let me tell you something

All the kids I know say there’s no one

Who will deal with the problems that are closing in around them

They turn on the radio, it’s some regurgitated pop

Or some thirty-year-old love song that was written for their parents

Don’t come singing bout her hair by the window

Or her eyes in the moonlight or her kisses in the morning

I don’t need another song about the ocean of your love for a sweater

That you gave to your boyfriend

These

These are desperate times

Pay attention, look up and read the signs

Believe

These are desperate times

All the big boys say that all the best music

Was written 20 years ago in their generation

Well, we’ve had another 20 years of devastation on the planet

Made real by a nation being lulled into submission

Shut Up

I don’t care about the dress that she wore

When she walked through the forest on a cool summer evening

I’ve had it up to here with all these feel-good ditties

About how life would be much better if we ignored all the problems

These

These are desperate times

Pay attention, look up and read the signs

Believe

These are desperate times

All around the world the guns are being cocked

And they’re pointed at the others caught staring at our table

Well sing up Americans cause the time may be running out

Before the picture gets flipped and we’re all looking down the barrel

These

These are desperate times

Pay attention, look up and read the signs

Believe

These are desperate times
