"Merry Go 'Round"
If you ain't got two kids by 21,
You're probably gonna die alone.
Least that's what tradition told you.
And it don't matter if you don't believe,
Come Sunday morning, you best be there in the front row like you're supposed to.
Same hurt in every heart.
Same trailer, different park.
Mama's hooked on Mary Kay.
Brother's hooked on Mary Jane.
Daddy's hooked on Mary two doors down.
Mary, Mary quite contrary.
We get bored, so, we get married
Just like dust, we settle in this town.
On this broken merry go 'round and 'round and 'round we go
Where it stops nobody knows and it ain't slowin' down.
This merry go 'round.
We think the first time's good enough.
So, we hold on to high school love.
Sayin' we won't end up like our parents.
Tiny little boxes in a row.
Ain't what you want, it's what you know.
Just happy in the shoes you're wearin'.
Same checks we're always cashin' to buy a little more distraction.
'Cause mama's hooked on Mary Kay.
Brother's hooked on Mary Jane.
Daddy's hooked on Mary two doors down.
Mary, Mary, quite contrary.
We get bored, so, we get married.
Just like dust, we settle in this town.
On this broken merry go 'round and 'round and 'round we go
Where it stops nobody knows and it ain't slowin' down.
This merry go 'round.
Mary, Mary, quite contrary.
We're so bored until we're buried.
Just like dust, we settle in this town.
On this broken merry go 'round.
Merry go 'round.
Jack and Jill went up the hill.
Jack burned out on booze and pills.
And Mary had a little lamb.
Mary just don't give a damn no more.

”Merry Go’Round“
《旋转木马》
If you ain't got two kids by 21,
二十一岁不生娃
You're probably gonna die alone.
孤独后悔几十年
Least that's what tradition told you.
老派的人总碎碎念
And it don't matter if you don't believe,
此外管你信不信
Come Sunday morning,
礼拜天早教堂来
you best be there in the front row like you're supposed to.
假装虔诚要坐第一排
Same hurt in every heart.
教堂里的每颗心 都受着同样的伤
Same trailer, different park.
就像不同的如家 却总有一样的床
Mama's hooked on Mary Kay.
妈妈迷上了传销化妆品
Brother's hooked on Mary Jane.
哥哥迷上了吸食违禁品
Daddy's hooked on Mary two doors down.
而爸爸迷上了隔壁又隔壁的小姘姘
Mary, Mary quite contrary.
老狼老狼几点了
We get bored, so, we get married
结婚然后凑合着
Just like dust, we settle in this town.
如尘埃落定在这小镇上
On this broken merry go 'round and 'round and 'round we go
如身处在这崩坏的旋转木马上
Where it stops nobody knows and it ain't slowin' down.
没人知道它是否会变慢，又会在何处停转
This merry go 'round.
转呀转 代代传
We think the first time's good enough.
初恋总觉无限好
So, we hold on to high school love.
学生情侣黏如胶
Sayin' we won't end up like our parents.
幻想世上还有天荒地老
Tiny little boxes in a row.
老式公房一排排
Ain't what you want,
别再梦想住豪宅
it's what you know.
你的归宿早安排
Just happy in the shoes you're wearin'.
人道知足才常乐
Same checks we're always cashin' to buy a little more distraction.
工资虽然从不涨 花钱总能忘忧伤
Mama's hooked on Mary Kay.
妈妈迷上了传销化妆品
Brother's hooked on Mary Jane.
哥哥迷上了吸食违禁品
Daddy's hooked on Mary two doors down.
而爸爸迷上了隔壁又隔壁的小姘姘
Mary, Mary, quite contrary.
老狼老狼几点了
We're so bored until we're buried.
一生得过且过了
Just like dust, we settle in this town.
如尘埃落定在这小镇上
On this broken merry go 'round.
如身处在这崩坏的旋转木马上
Merry go 'round.
转呀转 代代传
Jack and Jill went up the hill.
两只老虎 两只老虎 跑得快 跑得快
Jack burned out on booze and pills.
一只酗酒废了 一只吸毒翘了
And Mary had a little lamb.
我有一只小毛驴 我从来也不骑
Mary just don't give a damn no more.
可我他妈的早就不在乎了
