I'm sick of working on the land

I wanna work with machines and look handsome



I have been indulging

In ostentatious display

Doing little more than eat

Three square meals a day



And I've been shirking my duty

So I've been sending gifts to curry favour



But because I love you

And because you love me

A model worker

I'ii willingly be



I need a holidayI've not been well

Take me to the brocade river hotel



And I just want to know

While the revolution lasts

Will it enable me

To swallow broken glass!



I'm not too worried by hegemony

I know the cadre will look after me



And I just want to know while the revolution lasts

Will it enable me to swallow broken glass!



I have been indulging in ostentatious display

Doing little more than eat three square meals a day



But because I love you ..
