The towers of London, these crumbling (осыпаться) rocks Reality estates (поместье) that the hero's got And every hour's maked by the chime (звон курантов) of a clock And whatcha gonna do when the darkness surrounds? You can piss in the lifts which have broken down You can watch from the debris (руины) the last bedroom light We're invisible here just past midnight
The wives hate their husbands and their husbands don't care Their children daub (малевать) slogans to prove they lived there A giant pipe (труба) organ up in the air You can't live in a home which should not have been built By the bourgeoise clerks who bear (нести) no guilt When the wind hits this building this building it tilts (склоны) One day it will surely (несомненно) fall to the ground...
Fear is just another commodity (предмет потребления) here They sell us peeping (подглядывать) holes to peek (взгляд украдкой) when we hear A bang (громкий удар) on the door resoundingly (греметь) clear Who would really want to move in here? The children play faraway, the corridors are bare (голый) This room is a cage (клетка) its like captivity (плен) How can anyone exist in such misery (страдание)?
It has been said not only here
"Allianza dollars are spent To raise the towering buildings For the weary (изнурённый) bones of the workers To go back in the morning To be strong in the morning"
