Model Worker Lyrics

I'm sick of working on the land
I wanna work with machines and look handsome
I have been indulging in ostentatious display
Doing little more than eat three square meals a day

And I've been shirking my duty
I've been sending gifts to carry favor
But because I love you and because you love me
A model worker, I'll willingly be

I need a holiday, I've not been well
Take me to the Brocade River Hotel
And I just wanna know while the revolution lasts
Will it enable me to swallow broken glass?

I'm not too worried by hegemony
I know the cadre will look after me
And I just wanna know while the revolution lasts
Will it enable me to swallow broken glass?

I have been indulging in ostentatious display
Doing little more than eat three square meals a day
But because I love you and because you love me
A model worker, I'll willingly be

A model worker, I'll willingly be
A model worker, I'll willingly be
A model worker, I'll willingly be
A model worker, I'll willingly be
