Once I had it all planned out 一旦我拥有了一切计划好了

My dirty fingers moved about 我的肮脏的手指动了一下

To make a mess of everything around me 让一切乱七八糟的身边

I don't claim to know my way 我不声称知道我的路

I still run in circles everyday 我仍然每天都圈在运行

Running around half blind 到处乱跑瞎一半

Life can be unkind 生活可以不友善

But it's better than it was 但它比它

It's better than it was 它比它

I complain very little because 我控告很少，因为

It's better than it was 它比它

   

I get to remembering 我可以回忆

We had a lot more money then 我们有很多的钱，然后

To make a mess of everything around us 让一切乱七八糟的在我们身边

Now the money comes and goes a bit faster 现在的钱来得快，去快一点

Then my confidence grows 然后，我的信心增长

Everybody knows 大家都知道

There ain't nothing new about money woes 有没有什么新的关于钱的困境

   

But it's better than it was 但它比它

It's better than it was 它比它

It's better than it was 它比它

It's better than we ever could have 这是比任何时候都可以

Wished it to before 希望它之前，

It was bad a while ago 这是坏前一阵子

Better this I know 这个好，我知道

   

It's better than it was 它比它

Better than it was 好于

I complain very little because 我控告很少，因为

It's better than it was 它比它

   

Better than it was 好于
