Текст песни Ballad of J.J. Decay (Anti-Nowhere League) с переводом

Well gather around you boys now and listen to the man

He says we’ve fought evaded but united we will stand

We’ll sacrifice the older ones living in the past

We’ll burn up their religions and we’ll all be free at last

We’ll put a hat upon his head and then we’ll call him God

And then we’ll share our health in him like peas do in a pod

This is the story of a man with his future in his head

But no-one ever listens to him when he’s dead

We’re all getting older

The light is on and bolder

We’re all getting older

We’ll follow him throughout the land obeying his command

We’ll dance a sort of hatred that we think we understand

The children came a-running from their houses of decay

And laid the trust upon a fool who found a better way

He preach the words of wisdom with his hands and with his mouth

Then everyone believed him and then he believed himself

This is the story of a man with his future in his head

But no-one ever listens to him when he’s dead

We’re all getting older

The light is on and bolder

We’re all getting older

Decay

(Spoken voice in background of Neville Chamberlain)

«This morning I had another talk with the German

Chancellor Herr Hitler

Here is the paper which bears his name upon it

As well as mine. We regard the agreement signed

Last night as symbolic of the desire of our two

Peoples never to go to war with one another again.»)

We’re all getting older

The light is on and bolder

We’re all getting older

Decay

The year had come and gone and everyone began to see

Why did we follow such a fool in such a mindless way?

Let’s turn our hatred to this man — we know he’s just a fraud

We crucify him with the rest and find another God

How many times have you heard someone’s coming here to say

That from your hell on earth that you will love until your grave

This is the story of a man with nothing in his head

And no-one's going to listen to you when you’re dead

We’re all getting older

The light is on and bolder

We’re all getting older

We’re all getting older

We’re all getting older

We’re all getting older

We’re all getting older

We’re all getting older

We’re all getting older
