What Shall We Do Now? What shall we use to fill the empty spaces, Where we used to talk? How shall I fill the final places? How shall I complete the wall?
What shall we use to fill the empty spaces Where waves of hunger roar? Shall we set out across the sea of faces In search of more and more applause?
Shall we buy a new guitar? Shall we drive a more powerful car? Shall we work straight through the night? Shall we get into fights?
Leave the lights on? Drop bombs? Do tours of the east? Contract diseases? Bury bones?
Break up homes? Разрушить семьи? Send flowers by phone? Заказать посылку цветов? Take to drink? Напиться? Go to shrinks? Похудеть? Give up meat? Не есть мясо? Rarely sleep? Реже спать? Keep people as pets? Держать людей как скотину? Train dogs? Натаскать псов? Race rats? Устроить крысиные бега? Fill the attic with cash? Набить закрома деньгами? Bury treasure? Зарыть клад? Store up leisure? Скоротать досуг? But never relax at all И без передышки на всё это, With our backs to the wall. Сидеть, прислонившись спинами к стене.
