English
Leisure
They taught me how to work, but they can't teach me how to shirk correctly
Whoah
As you see, science once again robs us of our jobs
They've put a microchip in my place
I hide behind a screen of aggression nowadays
It's just a way of saving some face
So now I'm permanently drunk like the rest of the race with
Leisure
If you think I'm clowning, I assure you that I'm drowning here in
Leisure
They taught me how to work, but they can't teach me how to shirk correctly
Whoah
I spend all day and all my allowance on T.V. games
Amusement Heaven at the flick of a switch
Instead of a lathe, I busy my fingers nowadays
By scoring goals with the gentlest twitch
I've forgotten how to use my legs to invade the pitch
Leisure
If you think I'm clowning, I assure you that I'm drowning here in
Leisure
They taught me how to work, but they can't teach me how to shirk correctly
Whoah
They had retired me 'fore I left school
(Just saw no point in the standing in line)
So I spend lots of time lounging at home
(Why not come in 'cause the carpet is fine?)
What a waste of breath it is
Searching for the jobs that don't exist
So now I'm permanently drunk like the rest of the race with
Leisure
If you think I'm clowning, I assure you that I'm drowning here in
Lei
They taught me how to work, but they can't teach me how to shirk correctly
Whoah
Whoah
La-la-la-leisure
La-la-la-leisure
Lazybones, looking through the Sun
How'd you ever expect to find your day's work?
Lazybones, looking through the Sun

Ocio
Me enseñaron a trabajar, pero no pueden enseñarme a escaquearme correctamente
Whoah
Como ves, la ciencia una vez más nos roba nuestros trabajos
Han puesto un microchip en mi lugar
Me escondo detrás de una pantalla de agresión hoy en día
Es solo una forma de salvar las apariencias
Así que ahora estoy permanentemente borracho como el resto de la raza con
Ocio
Si crees que estoy payaseando, te aseguro que me estoy ahogando aquí en
Ocio
Me enseñaron a trabajar, pero no pueden enseñarme a escaquearme correctamente
Whoah
Paso todo el día y toda mi paga en juegos de T.V.
Paraíso de la diversión con solo accionar un interruptor
En lugar de un torno, ocupo mis dedos hoy en día
Anotando goles con el más suave de los movimientos
He olvidado cómo usar mis piernas para invadir el campo
Ocio
Si crees que estoy payaseando, te aseguro que me estoy ahogando aquí en
Ocio
Me enseñaron a trabajar, pero no pueden enseñarme a escaquearme correctamente
Whoah
Me habían jubilado antes de que saliera de la escuela
(Simplemente no veía sentido en hacer cola)
Así que paso mucho tiempo descansando en casa
(¿Por qué no entras? Porque la alfombra está bien?)
Qué desperdicio de aliento es
Buscar los trabajos que no existen
Así que ahora estoy permanentemente borracho como el resto de la raza con
Ocio
Si crees que estoy payaseando, te aseguro que me estoy ahogando aquí en
Oci
Me enseñaron a trabajar, pero no pueden enseñarme a escaquearme correctamente
Whoah
Whoah
La-la-la-ocio
La-la-la-ocio
Vago, mirando a través del Sol
¿Cómo esperas encontrar el trabajo de tu día?
Vago, mirando a través del Sol
¿Cómo esperas encontrar el trabajo de tu día?
