Lyrics and translation Chumbawamba - Rich Pop Stars (Live)




Rich Pop Stars (Live)
Богатые поп-звезды (Live)
Missionaries up from the South
Миссионеры с Юга пожаловали,
Have come to put words in our ignorant mouths
Слова в наши невежественные рты вложить желают.
Big company muscles flex
Мускулы больших компаний играют,
And we're all pulled along by the seat of our kecks
И нас всех за штаны тащат, куда им надо.
Popstars to lead us to the promised land
Поп-звезды ведут нас в землю обетованную,
Same rich bastards in command
Те же богатые ублюдки командуют парадом, дорогая.
All responsibility out of our hands
Вся ответственность с наших рук снята,
Just vote for their party and cheer for their band
Просто голосуй за их партию и болей за их группу, детка.
Red banners, angry manners
Красные знамена, гневные манеры,
Keep chocking in them bobs and tanners
Продолжай давиться этими шиллингами и пенни, милая.
Same old dances and five year plans
Все те же танцы и пятилетние планы,
Will never bridge the gap between stars and fans
Никогда не преодолеют пропасть между звездами и фанатами.
What's unsaid is left unsaid
Что не сказано, то не сказано,
As the bosses lure the popstars into their beds
Пока боссы заманивают поп-звезд в свои постели.
Allowed to indulge in their political bread
Позволено им баловаться своим политическим хлебом,
There's too many people who agree to be led
Слишком много людей соглашаются быть ведомыми.
The pied piper came today
Крысолов пришел сегодня,
Autograph, photograph to lead us away
Автограф, фотография, чтобы увести нас прочь.
Out of the town behind the piper
Вон из города, за крысоловом,
Over the cliff and into the river
Через обрыв и в реку.

Исполнитель Chumbawamba, альбом The Boy Bands Have Won, and All the Copyists and the Tribute Bands and the TV Talent Show Producers Have Won, If We Allow Our Culture to Be Shaped by Mimicry, Whether from Lack of Ideas or From Exaggerated Respect. You Should Never Try to Freeze Culture. What You Can Do Is Recycle That Culture. Take Your Older Brother's Hand-Me-Down Jacket and Re-Style It, Re-Fashion It to the Point Where It Becomes Your Own. But Don't Just Regurgitate Creative History, or Hold Art and Music and Literature as Fixed, Untouchable and Kept Under Glass. The People Who Try to 'Guard' Any Particular Form of Music Are, Like the Copyists and Manufactured Bands, Doing It the Worst Disservice, Because the Only Thing That You Can Do to Music That Will Damage It Is Not Change It, Not Make It Your Own. Because Then It Dies, Then It's Over, Then It's Done, and the Boy Bands Have Won.
