[00:00.000] 作词 : Paul Weller
[00:01.000] 作曲 : Paul Weller
[00:13.753]It's no good praying to the powers that be
[00:17.828]'Cause they won't shake the roots of the money tree
[00:22.008]No good praying to the pristine alters
[00:26.188]Waiting for the blessing with Holy water
[00:30.315]They like the same old wealth in the same old hands
[00:34.260]Means the same old people stay in command
[00:38.439]Watch your money-go-round; watch your money-go-round
[00:40.215]They got it wrapped up tight, they got it safe and sound
[00:42.619]Watch your money-go-round; watch your money-go-round
[00:44.395]As you fall from grace and hit the ground
[00:48.313]
[00:55.262]Too much money in too few places
[00:59.154]Only puts a smile on particular faces
[01:03.177]Said too much power in not enough hands
[01:07.226]Makes me think "get rich quick; take all I can"
[01:11.223]They're too busy spending on the means of destruction
[01:15.246]To ever spend a penny on some real construction
[01:19.582]Watch the money-go-round; watch the money-go-round
[01:21.384]They amuse themselves as they fool around
[01:23.579]Watch your money-go-round; watch your money-go-round
[01:25.486]Do like they say, make them vulnerable
[01:30.423]
[01:44.372]No good looking to the Empire corners
[01:48.317]"Civilization" built on slaughter
[01:52.575]Carrying hopes and carrying maps
[01:56.780]The spinless ones fall in their laps
[02:00.882]The brave and the bold are the ones to be fooled
[02:04.983]With a diet of lies by the Kipling school
[02:08.980]Watch your money-go-round; watch your money-go-round
[02:10.834]But I just can't help being cynical
[02:13.055]Watch your money-go-round; watch your money-go-round
[02:14.909]Do like I say, make me wonderful
[02:18.775]
[02:29.877]Their morals are clean and their clear
[02:33.717]They bend your arm and they bend your ear
[02:37.819]Said they bend your mind as you talk in circles
[02:42.077]Bend over forwards, this won't hurt you
[02:46.152]Till there's blood in your lap; blood on your hands
[02:54.328]Watch the money-go-round; watch the money-go-round
[02:56.261]Come spend a penny, go out with a pound
[02:58.429]Watch the money-go-round; watch the money-go-round
[03:00.336]As you fall from grace and hit the ground
[03:05.796]
[04:52.950](On the money-go-round, you wanna get on but it won't slow down)
[05:35.190]
[05:42.740]The need your votes and you know where to send 'em
[05:46.292]Be we don't get the choice of a public referendum
[05:50.498]On all the real issues that affect our lives
[05:54.390]Like the USA base to which we play midwife
[05:58.805]Take a cruise and forget this scene
[06:02.932]Said come back later when the slates wiped clean
[06:06.981]Watch your money-go-round; watch your money-go-round
[06:09.149]Born of woman, killed by man
[06:11.187]Watch the money-go-round; watch your money-go-round
[06:13.172]Do like they pray, make it wonderful
[06:17.064]
[06:28.271]The good and righteous sing their hymns
[06:31.824]The crimpoline dresses who have no sins
[06:36.029]Christians by day, killers in war
[06:40.104]The hypocrites who know what they're fighting for
[06:44.258]Killing for peace, freedom and truth
[06:48.202]But they're too old to go so they send the youth
[06:52.330]Watch the money-go-round, watch the money-go-round
[06:54.367]I don't think he was an astronaut
[06:56.457]Watch the money-go-round, watch the money-go-round
[06:58.468]I must insist - he was a Socialist!
[07:04.738]Watch your money-go-round; watch your money-go-round
[07:06.802]They got it wrapped up tight, they got it safe and sound
[07:08.682]Watch your money-go-round; watch your money-go-round
[07:10.877]As you fall from grace and hit the ground
