Doing nothing is not easy...
Even when we hang out together, it is not simple...
What kind of job is it...
A thankless job...
Even if you work, money won't pour in...
For everyone to live well...
Always doing service...
Without it, you don't get that mass respect...
We will work just enough...
We will win with style...
We don't wander all alone,
here and there...
In general, our heart is
pure gold, pure gold...
Doing nothing is not easy...
Even when we hang out together, it is not simple...
...
If we weren't just hanging around like this,
how would Facebook likes go up?
Couples who went against their parents—
those lovers would never get united!
Without going to work...
Without going home...
We just lounge on the tea stall bench...
Even for someone who never said,
"Come and help me,"
we will run and stand bail for them!
We are standing by you with affection,
don't snap at us...
Don't speak ill of us,
don't scold us...
Correct us if we are wrong,
otherwise, let us be free!
Doing nothing is not easy...
If everyone went off to work,
who would be left to protect the town?
Even if we do all kinds of things without asking...
aren't we the ones here to put up celebratory banners?
Whether you look at it as wrong,
or look at it as right,
we will just smile without any hard feelings...
Whether you praise us and leave,
or curse us and leave,
we will still soar like a kite...
"What is your job?"
Please don't ask...
As useless slackers,
don't look down on us...
Our time will come, just wait,
stand by our side...
Doing nothing is not easy...
Even when we hang out together, it is not simple...
What kind of job is it...
A thankless job...
Even if you work, money won't pour in...
For everyone to live well...
Always doing service...
Without it, you don't get that mass respect...
We will work just enough...
We will win with style...
We don't wander all alone,
here and there...
In general, our heart is
pure gold, pure gold...
We don't wander all alone,
here and there...
In general, our heart is
pure gold, pure gold...
