Slave to Money - The Flower Kings

Slave to Money - The Flower Kings
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
I know it open doors carry the weight
我明白它能打开大门 却要背负重担
So many values still left to define
仍有太多价值等待被重新定义
Once on the factory floor invisible ball
曾在工厂车间里 无形的枷锁
And chain will keep you to the grind
将你牢牢束缚在流水线上
Do you believe in words like equal rights
你可相信平等权利这样的字眼
The right to live a more than decent life
追求体面生活的正当权利
What is it's true the winner takes it all you get
若真相是胜者通吃 你只能得到
What's left you get no less no more
残羹剩饭 不多不少
In the beginning man learnt all the tricks of trade
起初人类学会所有谋生手段
The race has just begun
这场竞赛才刚刚启程
Melted the golden beast
熔铸黄金巨兽
To marks and pennies earning them empires in the sun
化作钱币标记 在烈日下铸造帝国
Do you believe the keyword is possess
你可相信"占有"就是箴言
And once you're in there is no turning back
一旦踏入就再无退路
What if it's trun it spreads like a disease
若它如瘟疫般蔓延扩散
From the royal mansion
从皇家宅邸开始侵蚀
To the ghetto shack
走向贫民窟的陋室
I am the bank of time display some fallen empires cracks
我是时光的银行 见证帝国崩塌的裂痕
Along the line
沿着这条轨迹
I've seen the greatest fall
目睹最伟大的陨落
I'd say the western world will need a new design
我要说西方世界需要重新设计
Out of the west out of the real
逃离西方 逃离现实
You need the suit to cut the deal
你需要西装革履才能达成交易
You shave so close you shave so clean
你刮得如此干净 如此彻底
Don't cut revealing something obscene
别揭露那些不堪入目的真相
High profile going high time alone
万众瞩目却独自走向巅峰
You get your kicks you're on the phone
你在电话里寻欢作乐
Don't get involved no time for help
无暇顾及 更不愿伸出援手
You're passionate in love with all your geld
你狂热地爱着你的财富
The days of progress when they are gone
当进步的时代悄然逝去
Then looking back days in the sun
回望那些阳光灿烂的日子
Did you have someone you called your friend
可曾有人被你称作挚友
Or were they all associates
难道他们全都是同谋
God may look at what we've done knowing well
上帝审视我们的所作所为 心知肚明
We're the ugly ones
我们都是丑陋的存在
Some may have blisters well on their feet
有人脚底磨出了血泡
Some broken elbows some twisted knees
有人肘部骨折 膝盖扭曲
Now being used up now being used isn't it time
如今被榨干利用 难道还不是时候
We all pay our dues
让我们偿还罪孽
God may look at what we've done knowing well
上帝审视我们的所作所为 心知肚明
We're the ugly ones
我们都是丑陋的存在
I'm a slave to love and money now the goals might all be honey
沦为爱与金钱的奴隶 甜蜜表象下尽是苦涩
You're the teacher I'm the preacher
你是传道者 我是布道者
Learning from my past mistakes
从过往错误中汲取教训
