So, as an example, you're CNN
I mean it's story, after story, after story is bad
I won, I won
And the other thing, chaos, there's zero chaos
We are running, this is a fine-tuned mach
The goose has gotten fat
On caviar in fancy bars
And subprime loans
And broken homes
Is this the life, the holy grail?
It's not enough that we succeed
We still need others to fail
Fear, fear drives the mills of modern man
Fear keeps us all in line
Fear of all those foreigners
Fear of all their crimes
Is this the life we really want? (want, want, want, want)

Why not ants?
Well because it's true
The ants don't have enough IQ to differentiate between
The pain that other people feel
And well, for instance, cutting leaves
Or crawling across windowsills in search of open treacle tins
So, like the ants, are we just dumb?
Is that why we don't feel or see?
Or are we all just numbed out on reality TV?
So, every time the curtain falls
Every time the curtain falls on some forgotten life
It is because we all stood by, silent and indifferent
It's normal
So, as an example, you're CNN
Quindi, per esempio, sei CNN
I mean it's story, after story, after story is bad
Voglio dire, è storia, dopo storia, dopo storia è brutta
I won, I won
Ho vinto, ho vinto
And the other thing, chaos, there's zero chaos
E l'altra cosa, caos, non c'è caos
We are running, this is a fine-tuned mach
Stiamo correndo, questa è una macchina ben oliata
The goose has gotten fat
L'oca si è ingrassata
On caviar in fancy bars
Su caviale in bar eleganti
And subprime loans
E prestiti subprime
And broken homes
E case distrutte
Is this the life, the holy grail?
È questa la vita, il sacro graal?
It's not enough that we succeed
Non basta che abbiamo successo
We still need others to fail
Abbiamo ancora bisogno che gli altri falliscano
Fear, fear drives the mills of modern man
Paura, la paura alimenta i mulini dell'uomo moderno
Fear keeps us all in line
La paura ci tiene tutti in riga
Fear of all those foreigners
Paura di tutti quegli stranieri
Fear of all their crimes
Paura di tutti i loro crimini
Is this the life we really want? (want, want, want, want)
È questa la vita che vogliamo davvero? (vogliamo, vogliamo, vogliamo, vogliamo)
It surely must be so
Deve sicuramente essere così
For this is a democracy and what we all say goes
Perché questa è una democrazia e quello che tutti diciamo va
And every time a student is run over by a tank

Beh, perché è vero
The ants don't have enough IQ to differentiate between
Le formiche non hanno abbastanza QI per differenziare tra
The pain that other people feel
Il dolore che altre persone sentono
And well, for instance, cutting leaves
E beh, per esempio, tagliare le foglie
Or crawling across windowsills in search of open treacle tins
O strisciare sui davanzali delle finestre in cerca di lattine di melassa aperte
So, like the ants, are we just dumb?
Quindi, come le formiche, siamo solo stupidi?
Is that why we don't feel or see?
È per questo che non sentiamo o vediamo?
Or are we all just numbed out on reality TV?
O siamo tutti solo intontiti dalla TV reality?
So, every time the curtain falls
Quindi, ogni volta che il sipario cade
Every time the curtain falls on some forgotten life
Ogni volta che il sipario cade su una vita dimenticata
It is because we all stood by, silent and indifferent
È perché siamo tutti rimasti in silenzio, indifferenti

So, as an example, you’re CNN. I mean it’s story, after story, after story is bad. I won. I won. And the other thing, chaos. There’s zero chaos. We are running. This is a fine-tuned mach-
.ای منظورم اینه که داسان بعد داستان بعد داستانCNNخب، برای مثال، تو از
من انتخاباتو بردم. من بردم.و یه چیز دیگه مساله هرج و مرجه. هیچ هرج و مرجی نیست. ما در حال ادارهایم. این یک مسابقهی منظمه
[Verse 1: Roger Waters]
The goose has gotten fat
اون احمق چاق شده
On caviar in fancy bars
از بس خاویار خورده و به بارهای تجملی رفته
And subprime loans
و از بس وامهای بیپشتوانه گرفته
And broken homes
و از بس خونوادهها رو از هم پاشونده
Is this the life, the holy grail?
این همون زندگیه؟ همون هدف نهایی؟
It’s not enough that we succeed
موفقیت خودمون برامون کافی نیست
We still need others to fail
هنوز دوست داریم بقیه شکست بخورن
[Verse 2: Roger Waters]
Fear, fear drives the mills of modern man
ترس، ترس آسیاب انسان مدرن رو راه میندازه
Fear keeps us all in line
ترس، همهی ما رو تو یه خط نگه میداره
Fear of all those foreigners
ترس از همهی اون خارجیها
Fear of all their crimes
ترس از همهی خلافهاشون
Is this the life we really want? (Want, want, want, want)
این زندگیایه که ما واقعا میخوایم؟
It surely must be so
حتما همینطوره
For this is a democracy and what we all say goes
چون این یه دموکراسیه، و هرچی ما بگیم همون میشه
[Verse 3: Roger Waters]
And every time a student is run over by a tank
و هر دفعه که یه دانشجو توسط یه تانک زیر گرفته میشه
And every time a pirate’s dog is forced to walk the plank
و هر دفعه که سگ یه دزد دریایی اعدام میشه

و هر دفعه که عروس روسی برای فروش تبلیغ میشه
And every time a journalist is left to rot in jail
و هر دفعه که یه خبرنگار تو زندون رها میشه تا بپوسه
Every time a young girl’s life is casually spent
هر باری که زندگی یه دختر جوون به تباهی میگذره
And every time a nincompoop becomes the president
و هر دفعه که یه یه احمق رییس جمهور میشه
Every time somebody dies reaching for their keys
و هردفعه که یکی برای درآوردن کلیدهاش میمیره
And every time that Greenland falls in the fucking sea is because
و هر بار که گرینلند بیشتر تو آب لعنتی فرو میره

Well because its true
خب، چون درستش همینه
The ants don’t have enough IQ to differentiate between
مورچهها اونقدر هوش ندارن که
The pain that other people feel
دردی که بقیه مردم حس میکنن رو از
And well, for instance, cutting leaves
خب مثلا، بریدن برگها تشخیص بدن،
Or crawling across windowsills in search of open treacle tins
یا اینکه از درز پنجرهها میرن دنبال یه قوطی باز که شاید توش شهد باشه
So, like the ants, are we just dumb?
پس، مثل مورچهها ما هم همونقد خنگیم؟
Is that why we don’t feel or see?
واسه همینه که حس نمیکنیم یا نمیبینیم؟
Or are we all just numbed out on reality TV?
یا اینکه برنامههای تلویزیونی باعت شده بیحس بشیم؟
[Outro: Roger Waters]
So, every time the curtain falls
پس، هر باری که پرده میاد پایین
Every time the curtain falls on some forgotten life
هرباری که پرده میاد پایین روی زندگیهای فراموش شده
It is because we all stood by, silent and indifferent
همش بخاطر اینه که هممون یه کنار، بیتفاوت و ساکت ایستادیم

So, like the ants, are we just dumb?
Sind wir also wie die Ameisen einfach dumm?
Is that why we don't feel or see?
Ist das der Grund, warum wir nichts fühlen oder sehen?
Or are we all just numbed out on reality TV?

So, every time the curtain falls
Also, jedes Mal, wenn der Vorhang fällt
Every time the curtain falls on some forgotten life
Jedes Mal, wenn der Vorhang auf ein vergessenes Leben fällt
It is because we all stood by, silent and indifferent
Es liegt daran, dass wir alle daneben standen, still und gleichgültig
It's normal
