OriginalTraduzione di Flavio Poltronieri
THE HERE AND THE NOW: MOB RULETHE HERE AND THE NOW: MOB RULE
  
Plans were unveiled,I piani furono svelati,
the press informed,la stampa informata,
residents muttered their doubts and fearsi residenti borbottano i propri dubbi e paure
at meetings.agli incontri.
  
A brace of councillorsUna coppia di consiglieri
voiced concern.si fa portavoce del turbamento.
Some assent was murmured.Si sussurra di alcuni assenti.
  
There were AdvisorsC'erano Consulenti
and Expert Guidance had been sought.ed una Guida Esperta è stata cercata.
  
Whom to trust?Di chi fidarsi?
Who could knowChi può sapere
just what that meant:esattamente cosa significa
Expert?Esperto?
  
People are so ungrateful,La gente è così ingrata
it’s quite hard on Chairmen.è davvero dura per i Presidenti.
  
Directors of Planning must be givenAi Direttori della Pianificazione dev'essere dato
the right to make Plans.il diritto di fare Piani.
Just as, say,Proprio come, per dire,
the woodwormil tarlo
must bore.deve trivellare.
  
So too,E così anche
Advisors musti Consulenti devono
Advise.consigliare.
