[00:00.000] 作词 : Tom Petty [00:00.000] 作曲 : Tom Petty [00:00.00] [00:13.48]If you reach back in your memory [00:17.08]A little bell might ring [00:20.07]About a time that once existed [00:23.40]When money wasn't king [00:26.55]If you stretch your imagination [00:30.01]I'll tell you all a tale [00:33.33]About a time when everything [00:36.87]Wasn't up for sale [00:41.34]There was this cat named Johnny [00:44.70]Who loved to play and sing [00:48.02]When money wasn't king [00:56.26]We'd all get so excited [00:59.38]When John would give a show [01:02.58]We'd raise the cash between us [01:05.98]And down the road we'd go [01:09.23]To hear him play that music [01:12.47]It spoke right to my soul [01:15.95]Every verse a diamond [01:18.90]And every chorus gold [01:23.92]The sound was my salvation [01:27.05]It was only everything [01:30.13]Before money became king [01:38.36]Well, I ain't sure how it happened [01:41.58]And I don't know exactly when [01:45.05]But everything got bigger [01:48.13]And the rules began to bend [01:51.41]And the TV taught the people [01:54.71]How to get their hair to shine [01:58.21]And how sweet life can be [02:01.18]If you keep a tight behind [02:04.39]And they raised the cost of living [02:07.96]And how could we have known [02:11.19]They'd doubled the price of tickets [02:14.17]To go see Johnny's show? [02:23.86]So we hocked all our possessions [02:27.16]And we sold a little dope [02:30.32]And went off to rock 'n' roll [02:45.32]We arrived there early [02:48.31]In time to see rehearsal [02:51.74]And John came out and lip-synched [02:54.79]His new lite beer commercial [02:58.19]And as the crowd arrived [03:01.47]As far as I could see [03:04.66]The faces were all different [03:07.60]There was no one there like me [03:12.74]They sat in golden circles [03:15.98]And waiters served them wine [03:19.32]And they talked through all the music [03:22.23]And to John paid little mind [03:25.67]And way up in the nosebleeds [03:28.97]We watched him on the screen [03:32.17]They'd hung between the billboards [03:35.44]So cheaper seats could see [03:40.10]Johnny rocked that golden circle [03:43.58]And all those VIPs [03:46.62]And that music that had freed us [03:50.09]Became a tired routine [03:53.14]And I saw his face in close-up [03:56.34]Trying to give it all he had [03:59.60]And sometimes his eyes betrayed him [04:02.80]You could see that he was sad [04:06.06]And I tried to rock on with him [04:09.25]But I slowly became bored [04:12.48]Could that man on stage with everything [04:16.05]Somehow need some more? [04:25.25]There was no use in pretending [04:28.66]No magic left to hear [04:32.13]All the music gave me [04:34.95]Was a craving for lite beer [04:38.25]As I walked out of the arena [04:41.49]My ears began to ring [04:44.64]And money became king
