Source text in English

I'm gonna make my own way,
I'm gonna head downtown,
Walk around, settle down,
Find me a proper drink.
Don't need a helmet
To get me through life,
I walk across the water,
Blame it on foolish pride.

Lifting me up,
Tearing me down,
All you give me is indecision
the classic run-around.
Bringing me higher,
Keeping me whole,
Now I feel like I'm living
Living in a Dust Bowl.

自分の道を歩いて行こう
ダウンタウンへ向かう
歩き回り、落ち着いて
適当に飲み物を探す
ヘルメットは必要ない
僕は人生を生きるために
水を探し渡り歩く
愚かな自尊心でそれを責める

奮い立っては
引き裂かれる
君はためらってばかりで
その古典的な言い逃れが
僕を高めてくれる
無傷のまま
いま僕は生命を感じて
ダストボールで暮らしている

俺は俺で行く
街へ繰り出そう
ぶらつき 落ち着き
粋な一杯を
進む我が道
ヘルメットは いらない
海の上でも歩くとも
バカなプライドのせいさ

持ち上げては
下げてくる
どうしろって言うんだ
お前は ぬらくらと
俺を高めてくれる
俺でいられる
まるで砂塵の中だな
包み込む Dust Bowl
