《Money Becomes King(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:02] Money Becomes King (Album Version) - Tom Petty

[00:00:13] If you reach back in your memory

[00:00:16] A little bell might ring

[00:00:20] About a time that once existed

[00:00:23] When money wasn't king

[00:00:26] If you stretch your imagination

[00:00:29] I'll tell you all a tale

[00:00:33] About a time when everything

[00:00:36] Wasn't up for sale

[00:00:41] There was this cat named Johnny

[00:00:44] Who loved to play and sing

[00:00:48] When money wasn't king

[00:00:56] We'd all get so excited

[00:00:59] When John would give a show

[00:01:02] We'd raise the cash between us

[00:01:05] And down the road we'd go

[00:01:09] To hear him play that music

[00:01:12] It spoke right to my soul

[00:01:16] Every verse a diamond

[00:01:18] And every chorus gold

[00:01:24] The sound was my salvation

[00:01:27] It was only everything

[00:01:30] Before money became king

[00:01:38] Well I ain't sure how it happened

[00:01:41] And I don't know exactly when

[00:01:44] But everything got bigger

[00:01:48] And the rules began to bend

[00:01:51] And the tv taught the people

[00:01:54] How to get their hair to shine

[00:01:58] And how sweet life can be

[00:02:01] If you keep a tight behind

[00:02:04] And they raised the cost of living

[00:02:07] And how could we have known

[00:02:11] They'd double the price of tickets

[00:02:14] To go see Johnny's show

[00:02:24] So we hocked all our possessions

[00:02:27] And we sold a little dope

[00:02:30] And went off to rock 'n' roll

[00:02:45] We arrived there early

[00:02:48] In time to see rehearsal

[00:02:51] And John came out and lip synched

[00:02:55] His new lite beer commercial

[00:02:58] And as the crowd arrived

[00:03:01] As far as I could see

[00:03:04] The faces were all different

[00:03:07] There was no one there like me

[00:03:13] They sat in golden circles

[00:03:16] And waiters served them wine

[00:03:19] And talked through all the music

[00:03:22] And to John paid little mind

[00:03:26] And way up in the nosebleeds

[00:03:29] We watched upon the screen

[00:03:32] They hung between the billboards

[00:03:35] So cheaper seats could see

[00:03:40] Johnny rock that golden circle

[00:03:43] And all those VIPs

[00:03:47] And that music that had freed us

[00:03:50] Became a tired routine

[00:03:53] And I saw his face in close up

[00:03:56] Tryin' to give it all he had

[00:04:00] And sometimes his eyes betrayed him

[00:04:03] You could see that he was sad

[00:04:06] And I tried to rock on with him

[00:04:09] But I slowly became bored

[00:04:13] Could that man on stage with everything

[00:04:16] Somehow need some more

[00:04:26] There was no use in pretending

[00:04:29] No magic left to hear

[00:04:33] All the music gave me

[00:04:35] Was a craving for lite beer

[00:04:39] As I walked out of the arena

[00:04:42] My ears began to ring

[00:04:45] And money became king
