当我们读小学的时候，读大学不要钱；
当我们读大学的时候，读小学不要钱；
我们还没能工作的时候，工作也是分配的；
我们可以工作的时候，撞得头破血流才勉强找份饿不死人的工作做；
当我们不能挣钱的时候，房子是分配的；
当我们能挣钱的时候，却发现房子已经买不起了；
当我们没有进入股市的时候，傻瓜都在赚钱；
当我们兴冲冲地闯进去的时候，才发现自己成了傻瓜。

When university is free, we are restrained in grade schooling;
Once in college, we found not-charged primary instructiing;

Beyond the age of work , \"job is assigned\" is what came to our hearing;
Being grown-up, we must struggle to death to be not dying;

Housing on distribution when we couldn't earn our living;
With poor paymnet in hands, apartment is out of our affording;

Before we became stockman, even fools with big money in rolling;
Happily as we rushed in, we realized what stocking do to us is fooling.

无法之天
