No one wants to buy shells 'cause there's loads on the sand
(そこらで拾える貝殻なんて誰も欲しがらない)

(ダイヤよりも値が張るまでかき集めろ)
Step two: you gotta make the people think that they want 'em
(ステップ2:本気で「欲しい」と思わせろ)
Really want 'em, really fuckin' want 'em, hit 'em like Bronson
(「マジで欲しい」そう思わせろ 物欲を刺激しろ)

Clear forest, make land, fresh blood on hands
(森を切り開いて、海を埋め立て、手を血で染めろ)
Five: why just shells? Why limit yourself?
(5:何故貝殻しか売らないの？)
She sells seashells, sell oil as well
(貝を売れ、それから石油も売れ)
Six: guns, sell stocks, sell diamonds, sell rocks
(銃、株、ダイヤ、石、全部売れ)
Sell water to a fish, sell the time to a clock
(魚も水も 時計と時間も売れ)
Seven: press on the gas, take your foot off the brakes
(7:アクセルを踏め！ブレーキは踏むな！)
Then run to be the president of the United States
(それからアメリカの大統領に立候補しろ！)
Eight: big smile mate, big wave, that's great

(ああ 雨が降り注ぎ)
A storm, it comes our way
(嵐がやってくる)
And those who rise through distorted lies
(為政者の嘘偽りが)
Poisoning the veins
(血肉を汚していく)
But we like to point the blame, blame, blame, blame
(けど みんな 人のせいにして)
It's easier to blame
(逃げてばかり)
But point the mirror at ourselves
(鏡をよく見てみろ)
We're all part of this old money game
