I Don't Want to Go to Work
Embracing Freedom: Escaping the Work Grind for True Passion
Lyrics
I don't want to get up. Want to stay where I'm led.
I prefer not to wake up; I want to remain in my current state.
It's cold outside, but it's warm in bed.
Although it's cold outside, the warmth of the bed is comforting.
If I stay half asleep, then my nerves won't get frayed.
If I stay partially asleep, I can avoid feeling stressed or agitated.
I don't want to go to work, I just want to get paid.
I have no desire to go to work; I simply want to receive my salary.
Spending lunch hour in the sun, thinking what I should have done. (Oooh yeah!)
During lunch break in the sun, reflecting on missed opportunities.
Watching time just slip away, wasting day after day. (Oooh yeah!)
Time passes without productivity, wasting one day after another.
When I was younger than I am, I used to stay in bed all day.
In my younger days, I would stay in bed for extended periods.
Spend hours staring into space, I used to wish my life away.
I spent hours daydreaming, wishing my life away.
If I did just what I liked, I'd be happy running free. (Oooh yeah!)
If I pursued my desires, I would find happiness and freedom.
I could write a perfect book, or compose a symphony. (Oooh yeah!)
Expressing the potential to achieve great things like writing a book or composing music.
Spend the day down in the pub, or just go and get laid.
Suggesting the temptation to indulge in leisure activities like going to the pub or seeking intimate relationships.
I don't want to go to work, I just want to get paid.
Reiterating the desire to avoid work and focus on receiving payment.
But the beauty of a life, that is lived just starts to fade.
Reflecting on the diminishing beauty of a life lived without purpose.
When I think of all the years, all the hopes I have betrayed.
Regretting the betrayal of hopes and dreams over the years.
But I'm scared I'll lose my nerve, & live a life full of regret.
Expressing fear of losing courage and living a life filled with regret.
Too scared of getting what I want, too scared of getting into debt.
Fearful of achieving desires and accumulating debt as a consequence.
Will I shake away those chains, that have held me down too long. (Oooh yeah!)
Contemplating breaking free from limitations that have restrained for too long.
Take the Birdman's wing & fly, so I can sing another song. (Oooh yeah!)
Desiring the freedom to soar and create, represented by the metaphor of the Birdman's wing.
About the strength to live a life, a life that work's too long delayed.
About finding strength to live a fulfilling life that has been delayed by work.
I don't want to go to work, I just want to get paid.
Reiterating the preference for getting paid over going to work.
