I may be out of work,
but I know my job well!
A fearless worker,
a sharp and shrewd worker, hey!
I may be out of work,
but I know my job well!
A fearless worker,
a sharp and shrewd worker!
Hey, if trouble comes in a crowd,
I will clear it all away completely!
Don't just make empty noise,
come face me one-on-one!
I may be out of work,
but I know my job well!
A fearless worker,
a sharp and shrewd worker!
Don't assume
that just book-learning is enough, man!
If you study and fly a kite here,
it will never take flight, man!
If you fly a kite against me,
I will cut your string down, man!
Whoever steps up to fight,
I will wrestle them and win, man!
Time is in our hands,
we have no worries at all.
No one can ever put
our poor lives up for auction!
The degree an educated man gets,
Chorus: is just paper, just paper!
Male: and the kite an uneducated man flies,
Chorus: is also just paper, just paper!
The book may sit in the bag,
but the real craft is in my hands!
What I study here
is human nature, man!
I may be out of work,
but I know my job well!
A fearless worker,
a sharp and shrewd worker!
Hey, if trouble comes in a crowd,
I will clear it all away completely!
Don't just make empty noise,
come face me one-on-one!
I may be out of work,
but I know my job well!
A fearless worker,
a sharp and shrewd worker!
Don't laugh at me, thinking
I lack worldly wisdom, man!
Don't dismiss me
as just a playful kid, man!
Birth itself is just a game
played by mother and father, man!
Is everything these elders do
really right or wrong?
A game of hide-and-seek is going on,
and our whole nation has gone missing!
Look at the leaders holding rallies to search for it,
it is all just a fake disguise!
Look at the swift flow of the river,
Chorus: look at its rush, look at its rush!
Male: isn't that true freedom, man?
Chorus: That is freedom, man, freedom!
The freedom that we gained,
where on earth did it go?
Laws and titles are on sale here!
Why do I need this dirty business of buying and selling?
I may be out of work,
but I know my job well!
A fearless worker,
a sharp and shrewd worker, hey!
I may be out of work,
but I know my job well!
A fearless worker,
a sharp and shrewd worker!
Hey, if trouble comes in a crowd,
I will clear it all away completely!
Don't just make empty noise,
come face me one-on-one!
I may be out of work,
but I know my job well!
A fearless worker,
a sharp and shrewd worker... hoy!
