Текст песни World War III (Grandmaster Flash) с переводом

Life is a game of business

And in the end we sight (swear to god)

The new and old are bought and sold

And everybody thinks they’re right

War is a game of business

A game we shouldn’t play (swear to god)

Cause men with guns killed all our sons

They blew us all away

They called it

World (paranoina!)

War (it's almost over)

3 (cause nobody hears what the people say)

Realistically the bombs are ready

Technically, nuclear by name

Capability of total destruction

Radioactive death and flame

There is talk of a firey doom

Prophesied since the dawn of time

In a world of bloodshed, mass confusion

Killer diseases, pollution and crime

Man is in conflict with nature

And that is why there’s so much sin

Mother nature’s delicate balance will fix it so nobody wins

In world (catastrofic)

War (reaganomic)

3 (and nobody hears what the people say)

World (it's atomic)

War (catastrofic)

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

A thousand miles away from home

A mortally wounded soldier dies

And on the blood stained battlefield

His life flashes before his eyes

Before he dies the man saw Jesus

And Jesus Christ took his hand

And on the soldier’s dying breath

The good lord took him to the promised land

Cause there’s. No (people living)

More (people dying)

Pain (everybody disappeared)

After world (people living)

War (people crying)

3 (ha ha ha ha)

Breakdown, pain…

1984, see the world at war

Your darkest fears of reality are knockin' down your door

Drones and mutations, clones and deviations

And there’s no one that can escape the nuclear revelation

Because

War is a game of business

And in the end we sight (swear to god)

The new and old are bought and sold

And everybody thinks they’re right

World (paranoina!)

War (it's almost over)

3 (ha ha ha ha)

The silver moon, the midnight stars, Jupiter collides with mars

And out of the darkness spirits roar

To cast revenge on the earth once more

The leaders of the world are hypnotized

By wizards, dark and in disguise

Brought to earth by an evil hand

To devour souls in a brand new land

They let the leader think that war brings peace

And out come the one with the mark of the beast

There’s evil behind closed doors

In the year of 1984

Life is a game of business

And in the end we sight (swear to god)

The new and old are bought and sold

And everybody thinks they’re right

War is a game of business

A game we shouldn’t play (swear to god)

Cause men with guns killed all our sons

They blew us all away

World (catastrofic)

War (reaganomic)

3 (ha ha ha ha)

Long ago and all too soon

2 different wars fought on the moon

One put (creators) on it first

Then we blew futher in the universe

Both of these were nuclear wars

Breaking universal laws

Then falling stars and meteorites

Dropped to earth by day and night

Twisters, earthquakes, hurricanes

Volcanos, drops and torrential rain

Then one day, the UFO’s

Came to see the whole world explode

We will pay the ultimate price

And a lesson is to be learned

When we play with nuclear fire

Everybody’s gonna get burned

War is a game of business

A game we shouldn’t play (swear to god)

Cause men with guns killed all our sons

They blew us all away

Pain! Pain! (so let the music play on)

Between the boundaries of time and space

Was the planet earth and the human race

A world alive and centuries old

With veins of diamonds, silver and gold

Snow capped mountains over looked the land

And the deep blue sea made love with the sand

Full grown strands of evergreen hair

Kissed the sky with a breath of air

Where exotic fish once swam in the sea

And the eagles soared in the sky so free

But the foolish clan that walked the land

Was the creature, that they called man

They’re cannibalistic, paranoid fools

Tricking each other with games and rules

Training their men to kill and fight

Moving and stearing their mechanized might

Only thought that man had in mind

Was to conquer the world and the rest of mankind

And with the thought that they were right

They gave you permission to take a man’s life

The ones you killed fought just as hard

Then you even had the nerve to pray to god

But god don’t wanna hear all your mess

When you ain’t the one that he laid to rest

The devil’s children with no disgrace

Crushed and killed the human race

While they got rich off the games and war

What in the hell were you fighting for

A silly ass metal, a stupid parade

For all those innocent people you slaid

And after that, you couldn’t even get a job

Cause fighting that war made you a slob

A sergeant and major, a corporal, Lieutenant

Titles and positions were all invented

You, and me, and all this mess

Are just a bunch of pieces in a game of chess

It’s all the same, a third world war

A blood thirsty massacre just like before

It’s genocide, three billion tears

Feeding on a war every twenty years

Then one day we heard the sound

Of the whole damn world tumbling down

Just one big boom, and what do you know

The world is a ghetto, high and low

Crumbling buildings all around

Man’s creation burned to the ground

Chaos, panic, fear and pain

Days of radioactive rain

Grotesque figures burned alive

Miraculously seem to survive

Everything of reality is the science fiction on TV

Mutant dog and sabertoothed rats

Eat men with guns and baseball bats

The dead won’t die, the (rudie) won’t cry

And everybody’s asking the question «why»

Until swarms of millions walk from the city

And thousands more went underground below

With their head held down in their own pity

Wondering where, they do not know

Cause in this game we had a chance

But we blew it for cheap thrills and romance

Maybe one day we’ll get another play

But until then remember what I say

Life is a game of business

And in the end we sight (swear to god)

The new and old are bought and sold

And everybody thinks they’re right

War is a game of business

A game we shouldn’t play (swear to god)

Cause men with guns killed all our sons

They blew us all away
