These Days

I was walking around, just a face in the crowd

在汹涌的人群中我只不过是张陌生的面孔

Trying to keep myself out of the rain

只求躲避风雨

Saw a vagabond king wear a styrofoam crown

Wondered if I might end up the same

There’s a man out on the corner, singing old songs about change

I guess she’s trying to be James Dean

She’s seen all the disciples and all the wanna be’s

From a second story window, he just jumped and closed his eyes

从二搂的视窗 他闭上双眼跳下

His mamma said he was crazy - he said mamma “I’ve got to try”

妈妈说他疯了 他说 妈妈我必须试一下

Don’t you know that all my heroes died

你可知我所有的英雄已不存在在这个世界

And I guess I’d rather die than fade away
