Breaking Free: Spaghetti Streetwalker's Anthem of Liberation
Lyrics
Things here aren't so good
Expressing dissatisfaction with the current situation.
You'd leave if you could
Desire to leave the current circumstances if possible.
You can't seem to find
Struggling to find a worthy romantic partner.
One guy worth your time
Frustration with the lack of quality individuals.
The message on the telephone is some old flame
Receiving a call from an old flame.
Back in town again and looking up your name
The old flame is back in town, showing interest.
You meet him at the coffeeshop but he's the same
Meeting the old flame but realizing they haven't changed.
And you don't want to be the ball in his old game
Avoiding getting involved with the old flame's games.
You leave him with the tab, grab a cab and now you're rolling back the way you came
Leaving the situation and returning to the starting point.
You don't have to sell your soul
Encouragement not to compromise one's values.
You don't have to lose control
Emphasizing the importance of maintaining self-control.
You don't have to do the things they want you to
Rejecting societal expectations and pressures.
You don't have to wait their tables, let the tables wait for you
Encouragement to prioritize oneself over others' demands.
Job where you can't think
Describing a job that is mentally taxing.
Driving you to drink
Job-related stress leading to drinking.
Shift goes on too long
Complaining about the extended duration of the work shift.
Boss thinks he's Don Juan
Critical view of a boss with an inflated sense of self-worth.
And everybody here has got a tale to tell
Observing that everyone has their own challenging stories.
The kind of tale that people tend to know to well
Commonality in people's tales, often known too well.
You're running all around and yet you're bored as hell
Feeling bored and unfulfilled despite being active.
Moving on before you get a chance to jell
Moving on quickly before things can solidify.
You're living in a pumpkin shell and it's keeping you unwell
Living in a confined and unsatisfying situation.
You don't have to sell your soul
Reiteration of the importance of not compromising values.
You don't have to lose control
Emphasizing the need to maintain self-control.
You don't have to do the things they want you to
Rejecting societal expectations and pressures (repeated).
You don't have to wait their tables, let the tables wait for you
Encouragement to prioritize oneself over others' demands (repeated).
