Slow Train Coming
Sometimes I feel so low-down and disgusted
Can't help but wonder what's happenin' to my companions,
Are they lost or are they found, have they counted the cost it'll take to bring down
All their earthly principles they're gonna have to abandon?
There's a slow, slow train comin' up around the bend.
I had a woman down in Alabama,
She was a backwoods girl, but she sure was realistic,
She said, "Boy, without a doubt, have to quit your mess and straighten out,
You could die down here, be just another accident statistic."
There's a slow, slow train comin' up around the bend.
All that foreign oil controlling American soil,
Look around you, it's just bound to make you embarrassed.
Sheiks walkin' around like kings, wearing fancy jewels and nose rings,
Deciding America's future from Amsterdam and to Paris
And there's a slow, slow train comin' up around the bend.
Man's ego is inflated, his laws are outdated, they don't apply no more,
You can't rely no more to be standin' around waitin'
In the home of the brave, Jefferson turnin' over in his grave,
Fools glorifying themselves, trying to manipulate Satan
And there's a slow, slow train comin' up around the bend.
Big-time negotiators, false healers and woman haters,
Masters of the bluff and masters of the proposition
But the enemy I see wears a cloak of decency,
All non-believers and men stealers talkin' in the name of religion
And there's a slow, slow train comin' up around the bend.
People starving and thirsting, grain elevators are bursting
Oh, you know it costs more to store the food than it do to give it.
They say lose your inhibitions, follow your own ambitions,
They talk about a life of brotherly love, show me someone who knows how to
live it. There's a slow, slow train comin' up around the bend.
Well, my baby went to Illinois with some bad-talkin' boy she could destroy
A real suicide case, but there was nothin' I could do to stop it,
I don't care about economy, I don't care about astronomy
But it sure do bother me to see my loved ones turning into puppets,
There's a slow, slow train comin' up around the bend.
慢车开来

有时候觉得自己烦透了,
搞不懂同伴们到底怎么了,
他们迷路了吧,他们醒悟了吧,
他们有没有计算过,破坏那些原则的代价?
那是些尘世的法则,最终将不得不全部抛弃
弯过那弯道,一辆慢慢慢慢的车,正在开来。
我有一个女人,住在阿拉巴马,
她是个林地姑娘,但是非常非常实际,
她对我说:“毫无疑问,你必须想清楚,不可以再一团糟,
你会死在这里,只是又一个统计数字。”
弯过那弯道,一辆慢慢慢慢的车,正在开来。
外国石油控制着美国领土,
瞧瞧你周围,那只会使你更困窘。
阿拉伯酋长像国王一般走来走去,戴着奇异的珠宝和鼻环,
从阿姆斯特丹一直到巴黎,决定着美国的命运
弯过那弯道,一辆慢慢慢慢的车,正在开来。
人类的自我恶性膨胀,他的律法已经过时,不再有效,
待在那儿等着,你不再有依靠
勇士的家乡,杰斐逊在坟墓里翻了个身,
愚人们在颂扬他们自己,学着操控撒旦
弯过那弯道,一辆慢慢慢慢的车,正在开来。
大腕的谈判代表,造假的江湖术士和怀恨女人的人,
扑克大师和企划大师
但是那敌人,我看见他身着庄重的披风,
所有的不信教者、勾引别人丈夫的女人,全都以信仰的名义在高谈阔论
弯过那弯道,一辆慢慢慢慢的车,正在开来。
人们饥渴得要死,装谷子的电梯却满得要爆炸
哦你应该知道,储存粮食比把它送出去要费钱。
有人说:放开你的压抑,服从你的野心,
他们谈论着兄弟之爱,但请把如何这样生活的人指给我看。
弯过那弯道,一辆慢慢慢慢的车,正在开来。
唉,我的宝贝去了伊利诺斯,跟着那爱说脏话的男孩,
她能阻止一桩确将发生的自杀事件,而我却不能,
我不关心经济,不关心天文学
但是眼看着我爱的人变成了木偶,却真的令我很烦忧,
弯过那弯道,一辆慢慢慢慢的车,正在开来。
