"I won't give in" auf SoundClick
Ich hätte eigentlich nicht gedacht, dass mein Text für Country geeignet sein könnte. In meiner Vorstellung wäre es Hardrock geworden. Bin mit dem Ergebnis aber mehr als zufrieden. Hier der Text:
My freedom ends at your factory door
You got me from 5 to 4
You’re in power - I do my job
I'm working hard, but you're not God
You pay the wage, you call the tune
I’m just someone that you consume
While that holds true for the working hours
At quitting time you lose your power
You may think you can talk down to me
You may think you can lay down the law
You base your views on presumption
But your theories got a flaw
I'll take it on the nose
I'll take it on the chin
I'm on the other side
I won't give in
I'm not your slave
I'm not your kin
I've got my pride
I won't give in
My hardship ends at closing time
I've got no intent to social climb
I just enjoy my evening beer
When I'm talking with my peers
You may think you can talk down to me
You may think you can lay down the law
You base your views on presumption
But your theories got a flaw
I'll take it on the nose
I'll take it on the chin
I'm on the other side
I won't give in
I'm not your slave
I'm not your kin
I've got my pride
I won't give in
When you think you can break me
You just deceive yourself
While I am looking forward to
The time when I'll look down on you
I saw your patronizing look
Like I was a no good crook
While you're master of the universe
You see I'm just a little boss-averse
You may think you can talk down to me
You may think you can lay down the law
You base your views on presumption
But your theories got a flaw
I'll take it on the nose
I'll take it on the chin
I'm on the other side
I won't give in
I'm not your slave
I'm not your kin
I've got my pride
I won't give in
I won't give in
