People always tell me there ain't nothing in this life that come free
Come free
You can make a little bit of money but it don't grow on trees, mmm
Yeah, put it on black, ring that bell
Throw a little coin down the wishing well
Yeah, you can go fast, fast as hell
But push it too hard, you're gonna wreck yourself
Oh, mama said, boy, you should go slow
Been running up and down that road
Oh, you think you got time
But before you know, someday you're gonna pay that toll
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Someday you're gonna pay that toll
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Someday you're gonna pay that toll
People always try to find the signs
Behind the things that they see, they see
Might be something, might be nothing
Might be everything that you need, oh
So you put it on black, yeah, you ring that bell
You throw a little coin down the wishing well
Yeah, you can go fast, fast as hell
But push it too hard, you're gonna wreck yourself
Oh, mama said, boy, you should go slow
Been running up and down that road
Oh, you think you got time
But before you know, someday you're gonna pay that toll
Ooh, you're gonna pay, you're gonna pay that toll
Ooh, you're gonna pay, you're gonna pay that toll
Oh, mama said, boy, you should go slow
Been running up and down that road
Oh, you're crossing that line
But everybody knows someday you're gonna pay that toll
Oh, mama said, boy, you should go slow
Been running up and down that road
Oh, you think you got time
But before you know, someday you're gonna pay that toll
Pay that toll
译文
常言道 人世间绝无不劳而获
不劳而获
或许你能赚上那么一笔 但树上可结不出钞票 mmm
Yeah 孤注一掷 摇响铜铃
投下一枚硬币 深入许愿井底
Yeah 你尽可以疾驰 哪怕迅如雷霆
但要是用力过猛 强行逞能 终会自毁前程
噢 妈妈常说 孩子 步伐放缓些
在那条路上来回奔波
噢 自以为来日方长
殊不知 在未曾察觉的某天 终要付出代价
Oh-oh, oh-oh
未来的某日 终要付清这笔过路费
Oh-oh, oh-oh
迟早有一天 终要付出这般代价
人们总想寻觅征兆
目光所及之后 挖掘所见背后的一切
或许意义非凡 或许虚无一物
或许正是心之所向 噢
于是孤注一掷 yeah 摇响铜铃
投下一枚硬币 深入许愿井底
Yeah 你尽可以疾驰 哪怕迅如雷霆
但要是用力过猛 强行逞能 终会自毁前程
噢 妈妈常说 孩子 步伐放缓些
在那条路上来回奔波
噢 自以为来日方长
殊不知 在未曾察觉的某天 终要付出代价
噢 终要清偿 终要付出这般代价
噢 终要清偿 终要付出这般代价
噢 妈妈常说 孩子 步伐放缓些
在那条路上来回奔波
噢 你就要越线
可众人皆知 迟早要付出应有的代价
噢 妈妈常说 孩子 步伐放缓些
在那条路上来回奔波
噢 自以为来日方长
殊不知 在未曾察觉的某天 终要付出代价
付清这笔过路费
