Shael Riley and the Double Ice Backfire — Paroles et traduction des paroles de la chanson Boot Straps

Paroles

I wipe the sleep right outta my eyes
Gotta catch that morning train
Take a sip off my Bodega coffee
The good people shuffle in through the rain
But the roaches scuffle in
Eat the heart so the head won’t stop
Once the hare beat the tortoise
He got the rigor mortis
I live right the American way
I take pride in my things I do every day
That’s why I spend all of it working for someone else
Senior photocopier, me, golly gee
I am the director of general sadness
Take me down, take me down
Mr. Freedom
(How can we live like this?)
I am a great man
But I am a lazy man
(In a world where slavery exists)
I am a strong man
But I am more than a little bit vulnerable
To the weight of a world of a false impression
To the words of a girl with a bad suggestion
Let it go, let it go, let it all blow over
'Til your life, 'til your life, 'til your life is over
Sink deep in a whiskey and coke
Take an Adderall, focus, and hope
Keep bucklin' down
'Til the buckle snaps
Boot straps comin' around
I got that big old college degree
I’m all like «lol»
I broke your copier machine
I was here last night 'til a quarter to ten
While I fucked your niece, Noel
When a man works overtime
He makes his own vacation
I hate your generation
Fuck your life, how it makes me feel
Bitch, baby, I’m the streets, and I keeps it real
That’s why I delete all your emails while you’re away
Gonna reach up high, pull you down, make you bust your ass
So you can have a taste of the underclass
Not so free anymore
Mr. Freedom
(How can we live like this?)
I am a great man
But I am a lazy man
(In a world where slavery exists)
I am a strong man
But I am more than a little bit vulnerable
(To the weight of a world of a false impression)
To the words of a girl with a bad suggestion
(Let it go, let it go, let it all blow over)
Kill your life, kill your life, kill your life, it’s over
Sink deep in a whiskey and coke
Take an Adderall, focus, and hope
Keep bucklin' down
'Til the buckle snaps
Boot straps comin' around
If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it
If they tell you it’s broke, then it probably ain’t
'Cause they get a lot of money when they fix it
You’ve got to mix it up and get tough
To the beat of a different-
Snuff the old masters in with the new
Every single one of them, you, you, and you
This ain’t a test, God bless the mess, and just
Get up, get the fuck up from your desk
(How can we live like this?)
I am a good man
But I am an angry man
(In a world where slavery exists)
I am a smart man
But I am more than a little goddamn confused
(To the weight of a world of a false impression)
To the words of a girl with a bad suggestion
(Let it go, let it go, let it all blow over)
Kill your life, 'til your life, kill your life, it’s over
Sink deep in a pizza and coke
You play your Warcraft, focus and hope
Keep bucklin' down
'Til the buckle snaps
Boot straps comin' around
And around
And around
And around
And around
