Written by:David Wilcox
In the future that we used to imagine
在我们曾经憧憬的未来里
The one they pictured in those old magazines
那些旧杂志描绘的乌托邦
Their tomorrow-land is so old fashioned
他们的明日世界如此过时
A delusion of the modern dream
不过是现代幻想的海市蜃楼
But they had a skyway to the city towers
他们拥有直通摩天楼的空中走廊
And we're still rocking over stones and tar
而我们仍在碎石沥青路上颠簸
I've been crawling down the freeway for hours
我在高速路上匍匐数小时
I want my fusion-powered flying car
却等不到核能飞车兑现承诺
This ain't the modern world that I remember
这不是我记忆中的摩登世界
The one they promised all us boys and girls
那个曾许诺给少男少女的乌托邦
This ain't the vision that the artist rendered
不是艺术家描绘的梦幻图景
What happened to my modern world
我的摩登世界去了何方
What happened to my modern world
我的摩登世界去了何方
They said my leisure time was gonna be bitchin'
他们说我的闲暇时光会妙不可言
I'd have my holographic TV phone
全息影像电话将触手可及
And we'd be cooking in our one button kitchen
我们本应在按键厨房里烹饪美食
In our aluminum dymaxion home
住在铝制穹顶的梦幻之家
With the enlightened ones leading the nations
智者引领各国前行
Bringing peace around the world at last
终于为世界带来和平
A utopia of cooperation
合作共生的理想国度
Where injustice is a thing of the past
不公正已成过往云烟
This ain't the modern world that I remember
这不是我记忆中的摩登世界
The one they promised all us boys and girls
那个曾许诺给少男少女的乌托邦
This ain't the vision that the artist rendered
不是艺术家描绘的梦幻图景
What happened to my modern world
我的摩登世界去了何方
What happened to my modern world
我的摩登世界去了何方
It's just a bunch of big baby boomers
只剩一群贪婪的老顽固
Trying to snatch the last cookie and run
争抢最后一块饼干仓皇逃窜
It's such a comfort to the guilty consumer
对罪恶的消费者何其慰藉
If Armageddon had already begun
仿佛末日审判早已降临
'Cause if the world's a box of chocolate cherries
若世界是盒酒心巧克力
Then they can use it up and toss it away
他们可以尽情挥霍然后随手抛弃
They make it post-apocalyptic and scary
他们把未来描绘成末日般可怖
To even dream about the future today
如今连梦想都变得如此艰难
This ain't the modern world that I remember
这不是我记忆中的摩登世界
The one they promised all us boys and girls
那个曾许诺给少男少女的乌托邦
This ain't the vision that the artist rendered
不是艺术家描绘的梦幻图景
What happened to my modern world
我的摩登世界去了何方
This ain't the modern world that I remember
这不是我记忆中的摩登世界
The one they promised all us boys and girls
那个曾许诺给少男少女的乌托邦
This ain't the vision that the artist rendered
不是艺术家描绘的梦幻图景
What happened to my modern world
我的摩登世界去了何方
What happened to my modern world
我的摩登世界去了何方
What happened to my modern world
我的摩登世界去了何方
What happened to my modern world
我的摩登世界去了何方
