The Style Council - Walls Come Tumbling Down!

Our Favourite Shop (1985)

You don't have to take this crap
You don't have to sit back and relax
虚言に気に病む必要はないよ
座ってリラックスしている場合でもないけどね

(You can actually try changing it)
君は状況を変える事もできるんだ

I know we've always been taught to rely
Upon those in authority
But you never know until you try
How things just might be
(If we came together so strongly, yeah)
権威に従えと教え込まれてきた
僕等が本気を出したらどうなるかなんて誰も口にはしない
僕等が共に戦えばどれだけ強いのか

Are you gonna try to make this work
Or spend your days down in the dirt
You see things can change
Yes an' walls came a-tumbling down
やってみないか
それとも泥の中でこのまま過ごすのか
物事は変えられる
壁だって崩れ落ちるんだ

(Governments crack and systems fall
'Cause unity is powerful)
政府は分裂し体制も崩壊する
団結はそれくらい強力なんだ

Lights go out
Walls come tumbling down
明かりは消え壁が崩れ落ちる

The competition is a colour TV
We're on "still pause" with the video machine
賞品のカラーテレビ
僕等はビデオの中の静止画みたいだ

(That keep you slaves to the H.P., yeah)
僕等は分割払いの奴隷だ

Until the unity is threatened by
Those who have and who have not
Those who are with and those who are without
And dangle jobs like a donkey's carrot
(Until you don't know where you are)
団結が持つ者と持たざる者に脅かされる
人参をぶら下げられたロバみたいに走らされ
自分がどこにいるのか分からなくなっている

Are you gonna get to realize
The class war's real, not mythologized
And like Jericho
Yes, the walls came a-tumbling down
もう感じているだろ
階級闘争は現実にある　神話なんかではない
イェリコの壁みたく壁は崩れ落ちていく

(Governments crack and systems fall)
('Cause unity is powerful)
Lights go out
Walls come tumbling
政府は分裂し体制は崩れる
団結はそれほど協力なんだよ
明かりが消え壁は崩れ落ちる

Are you gonna be threatened by
The public enemy is Number 10
Those who play the power game
They take the profits, you take the blame
(When they tell you there's no rise in pay)
民衆の敵第10号に脅かされながら生きるのか
権力争いに夢中の権力者達
賃上げなんてしないと連中は口にするが
結局は利益を奪い僕等はむしり取られるだけ

Are you gonna try to make this work
Or spend your days down in the dirt
You see things can change
Walls came a-tumbling down
(Governments crack and systems fall)
('Cause unity is powerful)
Lights go out
Walls come tumbling down
やってみないか
それともこの泥の中で過ごすのか
状況は変えれる
壁は崩れ落ちる
