One More Pint
Escape the Grind: One More Pint's Anthem to Freedom
Lyrics
Another day I just want to forget
Expressing a desire to erase the memories of the current day.
I’ve got the foreman breathing down my neck
Feeling pressured by a supervisor or manager at work.
I’m watching the clock as the minutes just creep on by
Monitoring time, possibly indicating a tedious or slow day.
Everyday the wall of this factory, are looking more like jail bars to me
Comparing the factory surroundings to prison bars, suggesting a sense of confinement.
And I’m burning through my life to make my rent
Using one's life to earn money for basic needs like rent.
But don’t get me wrong, I’m proud of all I’ve done
Expressing pride in achievements but yearning for a break.
But I deserve a night not living under the gun
Desiring a night free from constant pressure and stress.
So I’m headed up to Airport Way, where the beers pour everyday
Heading to Airport Way, a place where alcohol is served regularly.
And I gonna knock em back till my problems just float away
Planning to drink to escape problems temporarily.
One more pint
Expressing the intent to have one more pint of beer.
One more pint tonight
Reiterating the desire for another pint tonight.
One more pint, and I’ll be alright
Believing that one more pint will bring relief and well-being.
I live by the hammer to die by the pen
Describing a life where manual labor is dominant but creativity is restrained.
I sign my life away, but I can’t get ahead
Feeling stuck despite signing away one's life for work.
I’ll be stuck in this routine until I’m dead
Anticipating a monotonous existence until death.
With grit and spit I make it through this shit
Enduring difficulties with determination and resilience.
55 hours at a workers wage, and the check is already spent by the time I’m paid
Working long hours for a meager wage, facing financial challenges.
