歌曲介绍
Big city life is not natural---this kind of living distances people from nature; their movements are closely controlled and constantly monitored. The result is alienation and loss of freedom, but most people are willing to make the sacrifice for a convenient life. I’m not. That’s why I’m gone…
大城市不是大自然的产物,这样的生活让我们远离了大自然,整个城市控制著和监视著我们的一举一动,结果是我们失去了自由,可是很多人宁愿牺牲自由来换取便利的生活。我不是,所以我要离开….
歌词
Sick and tired of living my life getting told to stop and when to go by the traffic lights / Glass, concrete and steel, block after block / Got a little green man tells me when it’s OK to walk Mother nature where’d you go? / Cause I can’t see your face in the traffic flow / You know this ain’t no way to live / No this ain’t no way to live / And if something’s got to give I guess I’d better be moving on / So I’m gone / I’m gone / I’m already gone / There’s a million stores selling things I don’t want, and I’d buy myself a TV but I know there’s nothing on / There ain’t no such thing as the naked city / She’s an ugly girl in an expensive dress, trying hard to look pretty SUVs and neon lights / We’re so willing to trade for convenience at the expense of our rights But I will not be controlled by you / You can’t tell me what to do / ‘Cause I was born free and you can’t shackle me / ‘Cause I’m gone / I’m gone / I’m already gone / Politicians born to lie like whores to fake / And every cop who walks a beat is on the take / Got an eye in the sky with an ear to the ground / Spinning propaganda and spreading that shit around / But I will not be controlled by you / You can’t tell me what to do / ‘Cause I was born free / Keep your fucking hands off of me / Cause I’m gone / I’m gone / I’m already gone / I’m just another ghost who walks your streets / Smiling up at your cameras and shuffling my feet
