Текст песни Inside Job (Don Henley) с переводом

While you were sleeping

They came and took it all away

The lanes and the meadows

The places where you used to play

It was an inside job

By the well-connected

Your little protest

Summarily rejected

It was an inside job

Like it always is

Chalk it up to business as usual

While we are dreaming

This little island disappears

While you are looking the other way

They’ll take your right to own your own ideas

And it’s an inside job

Favors collected

Your trusted servants

Have left you unprotected

It was an inside job

Like it always is

Just chalk it up

To business as usual

You think that you’re so smart

But you don’t have a fucking clue

What those men up in the towers

Are doing to me and you

And they’ll keep doin' it and doin' it

And doin' it and doin' it

And doin' it and doin' it

And doin' it and doin' it

Until we all wake up

Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up

I know what I’ve done wrong

I am acquainted with the night

I know how hard it is

To always walk out in the light

And it’s an inside job

To learn about forgiving

It’s an inside job

To hang on to the joy of living

They know the road by which you came

They know your mother’s maiden name

And what you had for breakfast

And what you’ve hidden in the mattress

Insect politics

Indifferent universe

Bang your head against the wall

But apathy is worse

It’s an inside job

It’s an inside job

It’s an inside job

Yeh, yeah

It’s an inside job

It’s an inside job

It’s an inside job

It’s an inside job

It’s an inside job

It’s an inside job
