Lyrics and translation The Jam - Trans-Global Express
Ordinary
people
don′t
get
time
to
think
not
that
it's
their
fault
Les
gens
ordinaires
n'ont
pas
le
temps
de
réfléchir,
pas
que
ce
soit
de
leur
faute
′Cos
you
have
to
hustle
and
bustle
about
your
work
Parce
que
tu
dois
te
précipiter
et
t'affairer
à
ton
travail
Just
to
make
sure
the
food
gets
bought
Juste
pour
t'assurer
que
la
nourriture
est
achetée
Governments
threaten
you
with
recession
Les
gouvernements
te
menacent
de
récession
Then
they
threaten
you
with
war
Puis
ils
te
menacent
de
guerre
How
the
other
side
wants
to
take
away
Comment
l'autre
camp
veut
prendre
All
the
things
you
ain't
got
no
more
Tout
ce
que
tu
n'as
plus
Keep
us
divided
with
their
greed
and
hate
Ils
nous
maintiennent
divisés
avec
leur
cupidité
et
leur
haine
Keep
you
struggling
to
put
the
food
on
your
plate
Ils
te
font
lutter
pour
mettre
de
la
nourriture
dans
ton
assiette
Imagine
if
tomorrow
the
workers
went
on
strike
Imagine
si
demain
les
travailleurs
se
mettaient
en
grève
Not
just
British
Leyland
but
the
whole
world
Pas
seulement
British
Leyland,
mais
le
monde
entier
Who
would
earn
their
profits?
Qui
gagnerait
ses
profits ?
Who
would
make
their
bombs?
Qui
fabriquerait
ses
bombes ?
You'd
see
the
hands
of
oppression
fumble
Tu
verrais
les
mains
de
l'oppression
trembler
And
their
systems
crash
to
the
ground
Et
leurs
systèmes
s'effondrer
au
sol
And
you
men
in
uniform
will
have
to
learn
the
lesson
too
Et
vous,
hommes
en
uniforme,
devrez
apprendre
la
leçon
aussi
Not
to
turn
against
your
own
kind
whenever
governments
tell
you
to
Ne
pas
vous
retourner
contre
les
vôtres
chaque
fois
que
les
gouvernements
vous
disent
de
le
faire
Get
the
trans-global
express
moving
Faites
avancer
le
trans-global
express
And
see
our
marvelous
leaders
quiver
Et
voyez
nos
merveilleux
dirigeants
trembler
They
know
that
if
it
happens
their
lazy
days
are
over
Ils
savent
que
si
cela
arrive,
leurs
jours
de
fainéantise
sont
terminés
The
day
the
working
people
join
together
Le
jour
où
les
travailleurs
se
réuniront
We′ll
all
rest
much
more
easy
On
se
reposera
tous
beaucoup
plus
facilement
The
responsibility
you
must
bear
La
responsabilité
que
tu
dois
porter
When
it′s
your
own
future
in
your
hands
Quand
c'est
ton
propre
avenir
entre
tes
mains
Maybe
a
hard
one
to
face
up
to
Peut-être
difficile
à
affronter
But
at
least
you
will
own
yourself
Mais
au
moins,
tu
te
posséderas
toi-même
