If you want to die in bed follow my example
如果你不想死於非命，那就看我怎麼做
When you see a cloud ahead it's time to show your class
烏雲來了你得戴草帽啊
Hit the door before they make a target of your ass
當兵的來了趕緊貓下腰
If you want to die in bed in times of revolution
兵荒馬亂命難活
When the flag they fly is red let pride fill up your chest
心中要有偉大的黨啊，當你看到紅旗飄！
Meanwhile pack a sack and take the first boat heading west
抓住機會不要放啊！快往西邊逃！
My precious souvenirs of all the golden years
幸虧在舒坦的時候留了一手
Rolex watches in steel that look practically real
鍍金的勞力士手錶，挺像真的，啊？
I'll need a little stock to start me in Bangkok!
要去曼谷東山再起，我得拿點資金
If you want to die in bed forget about your karma
如果你不想死於非命，就別管天打雷劈
When your life hangs by a thread don't cry about the fates
當你命懸一線，就別怨天怨地
Grab a stash of cash and plan a rest 'rant in the States

Let me stop for a bit, this was my greatest hit
等一下，這是我的珍藏
Miss Saigon in her crown, I made queen of the town
西貢小姐的皇冠，誰得到它，誰就是城裡的半邊天
I got them paying more for just another whore

Here I come, USA
我來了，美利堅！
Your next champ's on his way
你的寵兒正在路上
For men will always be men
因為人總要活出個人樣！
The rules are the same
到哪兒都一樣
For kings or for clerks
不管皇帝還是草民
Give me Francs, or Dollars or Yen
美元、法郎、日元，什麼都行
I'll set up a game
我就能重新開張
I know how it works

That thinks only of rice and hates entrepreneurs?
誕生在這個土裡刨食的？
Me, I belong in a place where a man sets his price
我！屬於真正屬於我的地方
And you pay, and he's yours
你付錢，我就賣命
I should be... American!
我應該是，美國人！
Where every promise lands
生活在，那應許的土地！
And every businessman knows where he stands
