1.Advertising has its taste in cars and clothes. Working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don’t need. We’re the middle children of history. No purpose or place. We have no great war, no great depression. Our great war’s a spiritual war. Our great depression is our lives. We’ve all been raised on television to believe that one day we’d all be millionaires and movie gods and rock stars. But we won’t. We’re slowly learning that fact. And we’re very, very pissed off. 广告诱惑我们买车子，衣服，于是拼命工作买不需要的东西，我们是被历史遗忘的一代，没有目的，没有地位，没有世界大战，没有经济大恐慌，我们的大战只是心灵之战，我们的恐慌只是我们的生活。我们从小看电视，相信有一天会成为富翁，明星或摇滚巨星，但是，我们不会。那是我们逐渐面对着的现实，所以我们非常愤怒。 2.You’re not your job. You’re not how much money you have in the bank. You’re not the car you drive. You’re not the contents of your wallet. You’re not your fucking khakis. You’re the all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world. 工作不能代表你，银行存款并不能代表你，你开的车也不能代表你，皮夹里的东西不能代表你，衣服也不能代表你，你只是平凡众生中的其中一个. 3.In your world I see, you’re stalking elk through the damp canyon forest, around the ruins of Rockefeller Center. You’ll wear leather clothes that will last you the rest of your life. You’ll climb the vines that wrap the Sears Tower. And when you look down, you’ll see tiny figures pounding corn, laying strips of venison on the empty carpool lane of some abandoned superhighway. 在你的世界里，你不自觉的被限制住。你的衣着为外界所定型，为了生存遗忘本身的才能。应该往下看看密密麻麻的小生物，高速公路上只是空荡荡的。
