Spare the rod don't spare the fool
原谅小孩，但不要原谅傻瓜
If you take the breaks you're given
如果你有机会休息一下
You get to make the rules
就想想 如何制定规则
Take a chance and make it fast
抓住机遇，动作要快
If you break some bones on landing
如果你在地上碰碎了几块骨头
You know you're built to last
你知道 你也会撑下去的
Fight the tide and find the shore
搏击浪涛，找到海岸
If the gift horse isn't smiling
如果你的坐骑没有欢快地笑
Just learn to ride some more
这说明你还没到
Common sense is a rule of thumb
共识是一项简单的规则
If the suckers throw a red flag
如果那些贪婪的人扔出一面红旗
Blow 'em all to Kingdom Come
不要客气，送他们去天国
And take this dirty water
饮下这杯浑水
Running like a river
像河流一样奔跑
In and out of everything
体会每一件事情
We helped to put together
我们互相扶持
Take this dirty water
饮下这杯浑水
Help to keep it clean
你才能够找到
Get back to the wellsplring
甘甜的泉水
Purify the stream

Search out days that never end
每天不间断地寻找
If it's only for the chance
如果这是最后的机会
To feel just like a child again
就把自己当成一个孩子
Tell a lie that speaks the truth
说一个真实的谎言
If the heart becomes a prisoner
如果你的心被俘获
Your soul will turn you loose
