The tragedy in utero (子宮的悲哀)
Reveals a bleeding embryo (洩露一團流血的胚胎)
An ecosystem in decay (一個崩毀的生態)
(Chorus)
This is spiritual neglect (這是心靈的冷漠)
This is cause and effect (這就是因果)
And so (所以)
With every move that you select (隨著你選擇的每一個行動)
You are the cause and the effect (你就是因果)
And so it goes (因果就是這樣走)
It's a polished act (當你呈現基本的事實)
As you present the basic facts (也只是裝飾過的行為)
And the was sale is unilateral (而販賣總是單方面決定)
And the papers read (報紙上說)
More than fifty thousand dead (超過五千人死亡)

The sound of bombs and fire alarms (炸彈與火警響起)
A mother with her babe in arms (一個母親抱著孩子)
Hurries toward the cellar door (衝向地窖)
And fire burned within her heart (一團火在她心中燃燒)
The strike was swift, the bomb was smart (撞擊好迅速，炸彈好聰明)
A flash of light and nothing more (什麼都沒有，除了光一閃)
(Chorus)
This is spiritual neglect (這是心靈的冷漠)
This is cause and effect (這就是因果)

With every move that you select (隨著你選擇的每一個行動)
You are the cause and the effect (你就是因果)
And so it goes (因果就是這樣走)
Oh, every deal and every pact (喔，每個交易、每個包裏)

Where the corporate raiders congregate
(財團的入侵者聚集在路口)
And in a far and distant land (然而在遙遠的荒地)

How could no one recognize (怎麼沒有人發現)
Reflected in that child's eyes (反映在孩子眼中的)
Was fear and pain and you and me (是恐懼與苦痛及你我)
(End Chorus)
This is spiritual neglect (這是心靈的冷漠)
This is cause and effect (這就是因果)

With every move that you select (隨著你選擇的每一個行動)
You are the cause and the effect (你就是因果)
And so (所以)
This is all that you direct (這一切都是你所導演)
You are the cause and the effect (你就是因果)
And so (所以)
With every move that you select (隨著每個你所選擇的行動)
You are the cause and the effect (你就是因果)
