- I remember walk′in round the court square sidewalk
依稀记得我曾走在广场的人行道上
Lookin′ in windows at things I couldn′t want
透过窗户看着那些我得不到的东西
There′s johnson′s hardware and morgans jewelry
有Johnson五金器具还有 morgan珠宝
And the ol′ Lee king′s apothecary
还有 ol′ Lee king药店
They ware the little man
他们都是些小人物
The little man
再平凡不过的人
I go back now and the stores are all empty
如今重返旧地，早已人去店空
Except for an old coke sign from 1950
只剩陈旧的1950年焦炭刻下的印记
Boarded up like they never existed
木板将旧店封存，好似从未曾存在
Or renovated and called historic districts
有的经过了修整翻新，成了历史遗迹
There goes the little man
小人物离去
There goes the little man

Now the court square′s just a set of streets
广场已然变为条条大道
That the people go round but they seldom think
行人匆匆却有如行尸走肉
Bout the little man that built this town
是那些可爱的平凡人建造了这座城市
Before the big money shut em down
是大笔的金钱驱使他们就此停工
And killed the little man
扼杀了他们的灵魂
Oh the little man
那些可爱的人
He pumped your gas and he cleaned your glass
他们给你打通天然气，擦亮杯子
And one cold rainy night he fixed your flat
寒风习习的雨夜他为你修建公寓
The new stores came where you do it yourself
如今新店入驻，从此你只能自己做这些琐事
You buy a lotto ticket and food off the shelf
亲自买落托数卡牌，买架子上的食物
Forget about the little man
忘掉那些小人物吧
Forget about that little man
忘掉他们
He hung on there for a few more years
他在那里多呆了几年
But he couldn′t sell slurpees
但是他不卖思乐冰
And he wouldn′t sell beer
他不会卖酒
Now the bank rents the station
现在银行租用了车站
To a down the road
沿着大道
And sell velvet Elvis and
卖Elvis天鹅绒
Second-hand clothes
和二手服装
There goes little man
小人物离去
There goes another little man
小人物离去
Now the court square′s just a set of streets
广场已然变为条条大道
That the people go round but they seldom think

You can buy the world with just one trip

And save a penny cause it′s jumbo size
