作曲：Elton John+Bernie Taupin

Spare the rod don't spare the fool

If you take the breaks you're given

You get to make the rules

Take a chance and make it fast

If you break some bones on landing

You know you're built to last

Fight the tide and find the shore

If the gift horse isn't smiling

Just learn to ride some more

Common sense is a rule of thumb

If the suckers throw a red flag

Blow 'em all to Kingdom Come

And take this dirty water

Running like a river

In and out of everything

We helped to put together

Take this dirty water

Help to keep it clean

Get back to the wellspring

Purify the stream

Search out days that never end

If it's only for the chance

To feel just like a child again

Tell a lie that speaks the truth

If the heart becomes a prisoner

Your soul will turn you loose

And take this dirty water

Running like a river

In and out of everything

We helped to put together

Take this dirty water

Help to keep it clean

Get back to the wellsplring

Purify the stream

And take this dirty water

Running like a river

In and out of everything

We helped to put together

Take this dirty water

Help to keep it clean

Get back to the wellsplring

Purify the stream
