半斤八兩(電影"半斤八兩"歌曲) (Album Version)

我哋呢班打工仔
通街走糴直頭係壞腸胃
搵嗰些少到月底點夠洗 (奀過鬼)
確係認真濕滯
最弊波士郁啲發威 (癲過雞)
一味喺處係唔係就亂嚟吠 (汪汪汪)
口翳親加薪塊面嗱起惡睇 (扭嚇計)
你就認真開胃
半斤八兩 做到隻積咁嘅樣
半斤八兩 濕水炮仗點會響
半斤八兩 夠薑呀揸鎗走去搶
出咗半斤力 想話攞番足八兩
家陣惡搵食 邊有半斤八兩咁理想 (吹漲)
我哋呢班打工仔 一生一世為錢幣做奴隸
嗰種辛苦折墮講出嚇鬼 (死俾你睇)
咪話冇乜所謂
半斤八兩 就算有福都冇你享
半斤八兩 慘過滾水淥豬腸
半斤八兩 雞碎咁多都要啄啄
出咗半斤力 想話攞番足八兩
家陣惡搵食 邊有半斤八兩咁理想 (吹漲)
我哋呢班打工仔 一生一世為錢幣做奴隸
嗰種辛苦折墮講出嚇鬼 (死俾你睇)
咪話冇乜所謂

Half a Pound Eight Taels (Song from the Movie "Half a Pound Eight Taels") (Album Version)

We working-class folks
Hustling and bustling, our stomachs rumbling like mad
Earning a pittance, not enough to make ends meet (So stingy)
It's a real drag
Worst of all, our bosses are quick to throw a tantrum (Crazier than chickens)
Constantly barking orders, like a bunch of rabid dogs (Woof woof woof)
Mention a raise and they turn their ugly faces away (What a scam)
Makes you want to vomit
Half a pound, eight taels, we're all worn out and ragged
Half a pound, eight taels, a wet firecracker that won't ignite
Half a pound, eight taels, we ain't got the guts to rob a bank
Put in half a pound of effort, expecting a full eight taels
In this day and age, where jobs are scarce, half a pound, eight taels is a pipe dream (What a joke)
We working-class folks, slaves to money for life
Our lives are filled with hardship, it's enough to scare you to death (I'll show you death)
Don't try to tell me otherwise
Half a pound, eight taels, even if there's fortune to be had, it's not for you
Half a pound, eight taels, like scalding water poured on a pig's intestines
Half a pound, eight taels, even the tiniest scraps, we'll fight over them
Put in half a pound of effort, expecting a full eight taels
In this day and age, where jobs are scarce, half a pound, eight taels is a pipe dream (What a joke)
We working-class folks, slaves to money for life
Our lives are filled with hardship, it's enough to scare you to death (I'll show you death)
Don't try to tell me otherwise
