Madonnaが歌うこの曲は、 「アルゼンチンよ、泣かないで (Don't Cry for Me Argentina) 」は、アンドルー・ロイド・ウェバー作曲、ティム・ライス作詞による1978年のミュージカル『エビータ』の中で最も有名な楽曲である。エヴァ・ペロンを題材として歌われたこの曲は、ライスが最終的な題名に決める前は"イッツ・オンリー・ユア・ラヴァー・リターニング（It’s Only Your Lover Returning）"という曲名をつけられていた。この曲は第2幕の始めにエビータがカーサ・ロサーダ（Casa Rosada）のバルコニーから群集に話しかける場面で歌われ、後悔と挑戦という壮大で感動的なテーマと結びついた圧倒するメロディーというロイド・ウェバーの最も人気のある楽曲の特徴を持ち備えている。(Wikiより)
Oh yeah, what we're living in, let me tell ya It is a wonder man can eat at all When things are big that should be small Who can tell what magic spells we'll be doing for us And I'm giving all my love to this world Only to be told I can't see, I can't breathe No more will we be And nothing's going to change the way we live 'Cause we can always take but never give And now that things are changing for the worse See, whoa, it's a crazy world we're living in And I just can't see that half of us immersed in sin Is all we have to give these
Futures made of virtual insanity now Always seem to be governed by this love we have for Useless, twisting, of the new technology Oh now there is no sound, for we all live underground
And I'm thinking what a mess we're in Hard to know where to begin If I could slip the sickly ties that earthly man has made And now every mother can choose the colour of her child That's not nature's way Well that's what they said yesterday There's nothing left to do but pray I think it's time to find a new religion Whoa, It's so insane To synthesize another strain There's something in these Futures that we have to be told
Futures made of virtual insanity now Always seem to be governed by this love we have for useless, twisting, of the new technology Oh now there is no sound, for we all live underground
Now there is no sound if we all live underground And now it's virtual insanity Forget your virtual reality Oh, there's nothing so bad As a man-made man, oh yeah, I know yeah Ooh
Futures made of virtual insanity now Always seem to be governed by this love we have for Useless, twisting, of the new technology Oh now there is no sound, for we all live underground
Now this life that we live in It's so wrong Shout out the window Do you know that There is nothing worse than a man-made man Still there's nothing worse than a foolish man, hey
