Текст песни The Price of Life (Diesel Park West) с переводом

Mama was a drinker, daddy was a thinker

They both did it to excess

Until they got busted by the brain police

On patrol inside their heads

The offspring, they did okay

Both loving and dependable

But the girl and boy knew deeper inside

There was something they hadn’t been told

About the price of life

The real cost of things

When a moment’s pleasure they took

When defenses are down

Yeah, the price of life looks good

I’m sitting in the park on top of the world

Wondering how it all gets twisted

But it’s gonna get better now the famine’s over

I read that in this paper

But that’s the price of life

Yeah, the real cost of things

When a moment’s pleasure you took

And defenses are down

Yeah, the price of life looks good

I wake up in the morning as an optimist

And Mother Nature still has her rhythm

But on closer inspection it doesn’t look so good

I guess there’s something important missing

And that’s the price of life

Yeah, the cost of things

When a moment’s pleasure you took

When defenses are down

Oh, the price of life looks good

You’ve got to do what’s expected of you

If just for the sake of the rest

I know sometimes being mean and cruel

Seem the things you do the best

And that’s the price of life

Yeah, the impossible things

When a moment’s pleasure you took

When defenses are down

Oh, the price of life looks good

Oh, oh, oh, oh…

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh…

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh…

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh…

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh…

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh…
