歌词
If you ain't got two kids by 21,
如果你在21岁时没有两个孩子
You're probably gonna die alone
你大概会孤孤零零地死去
At least that's what tradition told you.
至少传统是这样告诉我们的
And it don't matter if you don't believe,
如果你不相信那也没关系
Come Sunday morning you best be there
星期天上午你最好去教堂
In the front row, like you're s'posed to.
如同你预料的那样坐在前排
Same hurt in every heart.
每颗心都同样会受伤
Same trailer, different park.
就像同样的卡车停在不同的停车场
Mamas hooked on Mary Kay
妈妈们沉迷于化妆品玫琳凯
Brothers hooked on Mary Jane
兄弟们沉迷于**
And Daddies hooked on Mary two doors down.
爸爸们迷恋隔两扇门的女邻居玛丽
Mary Mary quite contrary,
玛丽玛丽 截然不同的玛丽
We get bored so we get married
我们百无聊赖所以我们走进婚姻
And just like dust we settle in this town.
正如同颗颗尘埃坠落在这小镇
On this broken merry go round and round and round we go
在这破损的旋转木马上 我们一圈一圈地旋转着
Where it stops nobody knows...
会在哪里停下 没人知道…
And it ain't slowin' down, this merry go 'round...
这旋转木马,它也不会减速停下
We think the first time's good enough,
我们总认为人生若只如初见
So we hold on to high school love,
所以我们死死坚持着高中的爱恋
Say we won't end up like our parents.
做着那些山盟海誓的幻想
Tiny little boxes in a row,
路上有一些小小的盒子
Ain't want you want it's what you know,
打开里面装的并不一定就是你所想要的
Just happy in the shoes you're wearin'.
幸福就掌握在你的手中
Same checks we're always cashin',
我们总在重复的付出钱财
To buy a little more distraction.
只为买回来多一点的消遣
Cause Mamas hooked on Mary Kay
因为妈妈们沉迷于化妆品玫琳凯
Brothers hooked on Mary Jane
兄弟们沉迷于美女明星玛丽简
Daddies hooked on Mary two doors down.
爸爸们迷恋隔两扇门的女邻居玛丽
Mary Mary quite contrary,
玛丽玛丽 截然不同的玛丽
We get bored so we get married
我们百无聊赖所以我们走进婚姻
And just like dust we settle in this town.
正如同颗颗尘埃坠落在这小镇
On this broken merry go 'round and 'round and 'round we go,
在这破损的旋转木马上 我们一圈一圈地旋转着
Where we stop nobody knows...
会在哪里停下 没人知道…
And it ain't slowin' down, this merry go 'round...
这旋转木马,它也不会减速停下
Mary Mary quite contrary,
玛丽玛丽 截然不同的玛丽
We're so bored until we're buried.
我们百无聊赖直到我们被埋葬
And just like dust we settle in this town.
就像尘埃坠落在这座小镇
On this broken merry go 'round...

And Mary had a little lamb,

Mary just don't give a damn no more.
