Everything we used to know is wrong Everywhere we used to go is gone The neighborhoods all have new names and condos block the sky But the dead end jobs are still the same and I'll tell you why: Boston eats its young The spots we used to live are full of lofts The spots we used to drink are full of cops But the first of every month still leaves me feeling I've been robbed Holding down a barstool to hold down a job Boston eats its young We'd leave with the rest of them but we're too fucking dumb Name a street, I'll tell you about a show Name a bar, I'll tell you who got thrown Name a house, I'll tell you about the friends who've gone ahead While we stay here with their ghosts, cause we're too numb to know we're dead

Le ciel est béton grisaillé, la pluie est metallique Dans cette banlieue-cadavre encerclée de vautours mécaniques Au bout d’une ruelle barrée se voûte un autobus en panne A la fin de l’histoire, toutes les routes nous ramènent à l’Oran Les merveilleux nous guettent, apitoyés D’au dessus d’un monde transformé en charnier Nous, on sait très bien qu’on arrive en fin du jeu Mais il y aura toujours un futur — pour eux Dans leurs pied-à-terre, dans leurs gratte-ciel dénués Dans leurs nécropoles immobilières ou ils osent pas mettre le pied Ils ont pas honte, bien au contraire C’est tout prévu, c’est nécessaire Futur pour eux Pour nous, rien que des adieux

Just thirty miles outside Detroit there stands a giant power station Ticking while the city sleeps just seconds from annihilation But no-one stopped to think about the sleepers Or how they would survive We almost lost Detroit this time It stands out on the highway like a creature from another time It inspires babies’ questions — “what’s that?” — for mothers as they ride But no-one stopped to think about the babies Or how they would survive We almost lost Detroit this time The sheriff of Monroe County had enough disasters on his mind And what would Karen Silkwood say if she was still alive? That when it comes to people’s lives and safety Money wins out every single time We almost lost Detroit this time We’re gonna lose somewhere, sometime They’re gonna chose somewhere, sometime
