Текст песни: National Amnesia + перевод

On Wall Street, it’s been sheer pandemonium

On Main Street, children lost and alone again

Don’t tell, I can’t handle no more bad news

(I don’t want to know)

Apartheid: people long for equality

We all hide in our separate societies

Don’t tell me I can’t take no, no more blues

(What are we gonna do?)

National Amnesia

‘Cause I don’t really wanna see

What’s going on around us here

It’s so clear that it don’t apply to me

The truth is often frightening

But one thing should be understood:

To live in the clouds with your head in the sand is no good

They’re starving, but they’re so very far away

We’ll survive, and besides, I’ve got bills to pay

Babies holding out their dirty hands

(I don’t want to know)

Collusion: just make sure that the story’s clear

Disillusion: give them just what they wanna hear

Confusion all across the world

(What are we gonna do?)

National Amnesia

‘Cause I don’t really wanna see

What’s going on around us here

It’s so clear that it don’t apply to me

The truth is often frightening

But one thing should be understood:

To live in the clouds with your head in the sand is no good

Changing times, growing stranger by the year

That’s okay, I hear what I wanna hear

Look around and try to take a point of view

Don’t you know what goes down turns around and comes back to you?

(I don’t want to know)

(What are we gonna do?)

National Amnesia

‘Cause I don’t really wanna see

What’s going on around us here

It’s so clear that it don’t apply to me

The truth is often frightening

But one thing should be understood:

To live in the clouds with your head in the sand is no good

National Amnesia

Is upon us so what are we gonna do?
