以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
Well I got a Senator over in Texas
我在德克萨斯州有位参议员撑腰
Got me a judge down in New Orleans
新奥尔良地方法官也听我差遣
Bought me a Senator over in Texas
德州的参议员被我收买
And a judge down in New Orleans
新奥尔良的法官也在我掌心
Sometimes I call the world my oyster
有时我把世界当作囊中之物
Sweetest little deal you've ever seen
这可是你见过最甜美的交易
Well the one kid's high on God knows what and
一个孩子沉迷于违禁药物
The other one smashed the Benz
另一个则撞毁了我的奔驰
Between the bank boys and the lawyers
在银行家与律师之间周旋
I don't know where it ends
不知这贪婪何时是尽头
Sometimes I got to wonder about
有时我不禁怀疑
Living high in the hog
这般纸醉金迷的生活
There's times I wish I'd married me
真希望当初娶的是贤妻
A woman instead of buying this fierce old dog
而非豢养这凶猛的恶犬
Can't Say the old man didn't warn me
老者的警告犹在耳边
When he's bringin' me judgment day
如今他携审判之日降临
And one little thing I forgot to
我差点忘记一件小事
Remember there's a matter of some hell to pay
别忘了还有笔血债要偿还
And then here comes shifty and his new 150 he
这时滑头带着他的新座驾出现
Wants to take me for a ride
想载我去兜风
Saying hey little mamma how 'bout a little drama
说着"嘿小妞 来点刺激如何"
Why don't you just hop in inside
"不如上车玩玩"
Said I might look like a yokel
我说我看起来像个乡巴佬
But I'm high tech mogul with a tiger in my tank
实则是油箱里养着猛虎的科技大亨
I said oh my goodness you're a real smooth
我说天啊 你可真是巧舌如簧
Talker I believe i'll take that drink
这杯酒我且饮下
But first thing buddy better cool your jets
但老兄你最好先冷静
Before you make your play
在你出手之前
You gotta feed the kitty and oh yes
得先喂饱那只猫 没错
Well there's a matter of some hell to pay
有些债终究要偿还
Well now you got your devil in the details
如今你已深陷细节的泥沼
Got your devil in the cake
连蛋糕里都藏着魔鬼
You can't look around most anywhere
放眼望去皆是魍魉横行
That the devil ain't on the take
恶魔正在暗中收取贿赂
He's waiting on down at the end of the isle
他潜伏在长廊尽头等候
He's a waiting at the pearly gates
在珍珠门前静静守候
I'd say the man's about everywhere
要我说这人无处不在
Ubiquitous some might say
如影随形毫不夸张
Truth is he's worn out all us fools
真相是他已榨干我们这些愚人
Ain't no one left to play
再无人陪你游戏人间
He's bored he's mad he's all shook up
他暴怒癫狂 惶惶不可终日
And there's gonna be hell to pay
终将迎来天理昭彰
Well we've dirtied up the waters
我们玷污了碧波万顷
We pretty much trashed the earth
将这颗星球践踏殆尽
The butcher and the baker and everybody else
屠夫与面包师 所有共谋者
Has taken it for all its worth
贪婪蚕食至分毫不剩
Sayin' 'me oh my it was a big old pie
假意惊叹"好大一张馅饼"
And I sure as hell filled my cup
我早已将酒杯斟满罪恶
That Senator's a comin' on a big white horse
那位参议员骑着白马正赶来
And the judge is gonna fix me up
法官即将给我定罪量刑
But if ya complicate this moment
若你此刻还要横加阻挠
It's time to fight and pray
就该奋起抗争并祈祷
'Cause now it's time for the money shot baby
因为现在是清算时刻 宝贝
Time's up and there's hell to pay
时限已至 报应终将降临
There's hell to pay
报应终将降临
