Age Of Self

They say the working class is dead

we're all consumers now
我们现在都能消费
They say that we have moved ahead
他们说我们已经进步
we're all just people now
人权都已平等
There's people doing frightfully well
很多人做得很好
there's others on the shelf
很多人处在暗礁
But never mind the second kind
但没关系
this is the age of self
这时代本身就是后者
Well it seems to me if we forget our roots
但对我来说
or where we stand
如果我们忘了自己立足的根
The movement will disintegrate
这些进展将如同沙上的城堡
like castles built on sand
不堪一击
They say we need new images
他们说我们需要新的想法
to help our movement grow
来让行动发展
They say that life is broader based
他们拍着胸脯说
as if we didn't know
现在的社会越发包容
There's people doing frightfully well
很多人做得很好
there's others on the shelf
很多人处在暗礁
But never mind the second kind
但没关系
this is the age of self
这时代本身就是后者
It seem to me if we forget our roots
但对我来说
or where we stand
如果我们忘了自己立足的根
The movement will disintegrate
这些进展将如同沙上的城堡
like castles built on sand
不堪一击
Like castles built on sand
