社畜之歌
每天 16 小時不見天日的辦公室生活,與唱 16 噸 (Sixteen Tons) 的礦工無異。科技礦工,英法雙語復古香頌,支撐自己的靈魂度過職場的每一天。
My shirt survived the daily standup.
I… not quite.
...jus de chaussette.
Nine in the morning
I'm smiling far too well
One coffee in my hand
And a back that never tells
My shoes go clack-clack
Down the corridor floor
I badge in, say bonjour
And lose myself once more
The screen lights up
The heart shuts down
Another message
Another "it'll turn around"
They call it courage
They call it drive
But passion, mon ami
Doesn't keep the rent alive
You work sixteen hours, what do they pay?
Another stale coffee for deeper regret
I smile through the meeting, I dance for the score
I fed my ghost to the corporate core.
My lunch is still waiting
Cold since half past noon
The numbers circle slowly
Like polite sharks in the room
PowerPoint is staring
With its glossy little eyes
Every slide assures me
I can die looking nice
Be more solid
Be more bright
Be available
And grateful tonight
They call me "mon cher"
Then ask for more
One little miracle
Before the morning door
You work sixteen hours, what do they pay?
Another stale coffee for deeper regret
I smile through the meeting, I dance for the score
I fed my ghost to the corporate core.
[Half-spoken over upright bass and guitar]
J'ai deux amours
Mon badge et la liberté
L'un ouvre la porte
L'autre m'a quitté
J'ai deux amours
Mon lit et mon salaire
Le lit m'attend toujours
Le salaire me fait taire
Click, click
Send the file again
Clack, clack
Tired shoes, my friend
Click, click
Camera on and clean
Clack, clack
Smile for the screen
You work sixteen hours, what do they pay?
Another stale coffee for deeper regret
I smile through the meeting, I dance for the score
I fed my ghost to the corporate core.
I owe my night
To the office floor
I owe my face
To wanting more
I fed my ghost
To the corporate core.
My badge still works.
My shoes still shine.
That's something…
n'est-ce pas?

I really relate to this song so much...so many of the scenes feel like a replay of my own office life. Thanks!!
