Peace of Mind (The Communist Song)

from Sixty​-​Eight, Twenty​-​Two by ...Whatever That Means

/

lyrics

Well, I work all day just to make a little money.
I sleep at night to get what I need.
I try to find the time to do the things I love,
But it's just circle of loss and defeat.
There are plenty of people with more than they need,
And it's nothing to do with the work that they've done.
Hide away their riches and flaunt their gluttony. They'll never share a dime with no one.
I ain't colored red, I'm not a communist.
But I sure could use some time,
To find me some peace of mind.

Well, Jimmy's Granddad was a self-made businessman.
He worked hard all his life to give his kids what he'd never had.
Now, 40 years removed are his 3 grandkids.
They're inheriting their life on a golden stick,
They'll never know the way it feels to never have,
Because they've always had.

하루 종일 일하고 쥐꼬리만큼 돈을 벌고,
수면이란 의미는 다음날 일하러 나가기 위함일 뿐이야.
내가 하고 싶은 것을 하기 위해 시간을 쪼개보아도,
결국 돌아오는 것은 불가능한 현실과 상실감 뿐이야.
저기엔 필요 이상으로 가진 것들이 많은 사람들,
그러나 그것이 나처럼 반드시 열심히 일해서
번 것이라고 말할 수 없는 사람들.
누구나 뻔히 알만한 부유함에도 불구하고,
그들은 결코 모르는 척 그 누구와도 나누려거나 도우려고도 하지 않지.

내가 붉은 옷을 입은 공산주의자는 아니지만, .
하지만 지금보다 덜 일하고 조금 더 가질 수 있어서,
내 자신을 행복하게 하기 위한 무언가를 찾을 시간이 주어진다면 좋을 거야.

Jimmy의 할아버지는 자수성가셨는데, 그는 자신이 가져본 적 없는 것들을
자식들에게 물려주기 위해 평생 일에 매진하고 열심히 사셨지.
지금 40년이 지난 지금, 그에겐 Jimmy와 2명의 손주들이 태어났어.
모든 것을 물려받은, 한마디로 Jimmy는 금 수저를 들고 태어난 거지.
걔들은 원하는 것은 다 가질 수 있으니까,
아마 "가져본 적이 없다"라는 느낌이 무엇인지 모르겠지.
