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 So 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
