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
