Gonna move the mountains and shake the trees
Gotta feed the masses and feed the king
Better open wide now and close your eyes
Gonna lay an airstrip in paradise
So roll the carpets out, if you please
Gonna bring this wilderness to its knees
With a heavy hand and a thin disguise
Gonna lay an airstrip in paradise
In the name of greed
Would you cut me down
Would you make me bleed
In your search for riches beneath the ground
If I beg and plead
Would you turn around
Would you let me be
Or will you search for riches beneath the ground
Will you search for riches beneath the ground
So give me licence and a set of keys
We’ll clean the ashes up when we leave
In the name of progress and enterprise
Gonna lay an airstrip in paradise
Gonna lay an airstrip in paradise
天堂飛機跑道
我們要移山倒海,撼動大樹
我們要豢養眾生,餵食君王
你最好放開胸懷,閉上眼睛
我們要在天堂開一條飛機跑道
所以請你鋪開地毯
我們要折服原野
用沈重雙手與輕薄偽裝
在天堂開一條飛機跑道
為了貪婪的追求
當你在地底尋找財寶
你可要將我砍倒
你可要讓我血流
如果我苦苦哀求
你可會轉身就走
你可會讓我自由
或者你還是要在地底尋找財寶
你還是要在地底尋找財寶
給我一串鑰匙與執照
我們離開時會將餘燼傾倒
為了進步的營造
要在天堂開一條飛機跑道
