Eating sunflower seeds
Sitting on a park bench
The afternoon lights up your boredom
This wasn't what was promised
Lost kid, from the scaffolding
Your whole neighborhood worshiped you
And now you dream in the unemployment line
Of a summer with golden beaches that you won't see
Babe, go to register three
On your feet nonstop for over eight hours
Precarious goddess working part-time
And there'll be no shade of Grey that helps
The cherub who waits at home
Gets their onion lullaby
Beautiful butterfly, she still finds comfort
In not being the one who rummages in the dump
Join the cry of the worn-out
Life was just a rehearsal till now
Hit the street, leap the waves
Your dawn light glistens in the afternoon
Let fear switch sides
Let the precariat become visible
Let them not forget your joy
That sadness, if it's shared
Turns into rage that changes lives
Cleaning other people's grime
She breathes the dust of strangers' clothes
Drinks her sorrow at the sink
End-of-the-month tightrope walker
To unpick seams for the boys
Every trouser hem
And this Christmas there'll be no presents
Cheap nougat and some cider if things go well
Fallow man's tears
Winter night without a radiator
With the pension grandpa gets
Numantine without Numantia
If the bank evicts them this Monday
Who'll make a fire with your foundations
And you go to the food bank wearing a tie
The whole planet will stand on your back
Join the cry of the worn-out
Life was just a rehearsal till now
Hit the street, leap the waves
Your dawn light glistens in the afternoon
Let fear switch sides
Let fear switch sides
Let the precariat become visible
Let them not forget your joy
That sadness, if it's shared
Turns into rage that changes lives
Join the cry of the worn-out
Life was just a rehearsal till now
Hit the street, leap the waves
Your dawn light glistens in the afternoon
Let fear switch sides
Let fear switch sides
Let the precariat become visible
Let them not forget your joy
That sadness, if it's shared
Turns into rage that changes lives
Join the cry of the worn-out
Life was just a rehearsal till now
Hit the street, leap the waves
Your dawn light glistens in the afternoon
Let fear switch sides
Let fear switch sides
Let the precariat become visible
Let them not forget your joy
That sadness, if it's shared
Turns into rage that changes lives
