Текст песни Hegemony (Scritti Politti) с переводом

Hegemony, hegemony…

You are the fairest creature

You are the fairest creature that ever I have seen

And it’s all for Monopoly

On all those pretty sexibles/sensibles

That rot and raise a nation the capacity for change

(spoken/chanted)

An honest day’s pay for an honest day’s work

You can’t change human nature

Don’t bite the hand that feeds you

Hegemony, hegemony

You are the foulest cr… (eature)

You are the foulest creature that set upon a race

You can generate and dissipate

But only very stupidly

Such it is the splendour of popular control

(spoken/chanted)

Some are born the lead, and others born to follow

A place for everything, everything in its place

How do you do this?

How can you do it to me?

When all you are is ordinary, it’s pretty common sense

You are natural, immutable and everyone exquisites (?) you

As common sense

And common sense is things just as they are

Spoken/chanted)

Rock’n’roll, is there a solo? can you dance to it?

Walk it like you talk it

Be there or be square
