A song for the working people


Now I will, now I will

Loosen up this tight necktie
To the sea,
To the far mountains
Let’s run run run away!

The corrupt society ruined the economy
And now you’re the corporation’s cockroach
I had tons of dreams too
But they’ve been crushed by the foot of reality
The never ending MTWThFS
Any benefits after years of faithful service? No
Grasp the lost dreams again
Run away, let’s go!

I earn and earn but my life is still ghetto
My wife’s on my back, doubly stressing me out
What do you want me to do about it?
Why don’t you quit nagging me all the time?
I always think of quitting
But then payday! Life becomes bearable again
So depressing, too suffocating
I want to quit and live however I want!

Now I will, now I will
Loosen up this suffocating tie
To the sea,
To the far mountains
Let’s run away!

Late night 12AM, PC room,
A student with a part time job, losing his mind
The gloom of life bends all hope
With the boss on your back,
Irritating customers, this is part time work
A scampering coward, wiping the table again
A life spent bowed, fingers wagged in faces
I guess the sun will never shine on me

I’m the campus hottie, the scholarship student
That all the female teachers love
But every night I’m a top that spins around
A student with a part time job
And though I labored every night
A cheap boss suspicious about my worked hours
Enough! It’s the boss’s problem, minimum wage

Now I will, now I will
Loosen up this suffocating tie
To the sea,
To the far mountains
Let’s run away!

Loosen your belt, hold up your paycheck
Dream once again
Loosen your belt, hold up your paycheck
Dream once again
Now I will, now I will
Loosen up this suffocating tie!
To the sea,
To the far mountains
Let’s run away!
Now I will, now I will
Loosen up this suffocating tie!
To the sea,
To the far mountains
Let’s run away!
