半斤八两(Beyond)

我地呢班打工仔
通街走直头系坏肠胃
温个些少到月底点够驶（吃个鬼）
咪话无乜所谓
最弊波士郁的发威（癫过鸡）
一咪系处系唔系就乱黎吠
哎亲加薪块面拿起恶睇（扭下计）
你就认真开胃
半斤八两 做到只积甘既样
半斤八两 湿水炮仗点会响
半斤八两 够姜就揸枪走去抢
出左半斤力 想话摞番足八两
家阵恶温食 边有半斤八两甘理想（吹涨）
我地呢班打工仔 一生一世为钱币做奴隶
个种辛苦折堕讲出吓鬼（死比你睇）
咪话无乜所谓
半斤八两 就算有福都无你享
半斤八两 仲惨过滚水渌猪掌
半斤八两 鸡碎甘多都要啄
出左半斤力 想话摞番足八两
家阵恶温食 边有半斤八两甘理想
我地呢班打工仔 一生一世为钱币做奴隶
个种辛苦折堕讲出吓鬼（死比你睇）
咪话无乜所谓

Half a Catty (Beyond)

We working-class folks
Are always constipated
The meager salary we earn at the end of the month isn't enough to survive
Don't say it's not a big deal
The worst is when the boss gets angry (like a maniac)
They either don't talk to you or yell at you
Hey, give me a raise, or you'll see my ugly side (act up)
You really get an appetite
Half a catty, doing such a degrading job
Half a catty, a firecracker that won't go off
Half a catty, if you've got the guts, go rob a bank
You put in half the effort, expecting eight in return
Nowadays, the cost of living is so high, there's no such thing as a fair deal (exaggerated)
We working-class folks, our whole lives are spent as slaves to money
The hardship and degradation, it's enough to scare you to death (I'll show you)
Don't say it's not a big deal
Half a catty, even if you have good fortune, you won't enjoy it
Half a catty, even worse than a pig's feet boiled in hot water
Half a catty, there's so much leftover, you have to peck at it
You put in half the effort, expecting eight in return
Nowadays, the cost of living is so high, there's no such thing as a fair deal
We working-class folks, our whole lives are spent as slaves to money
The hardship and degradation, it's enough to scare you to death (I'll show you)
Don't say it's not a big deal
