功課考試請教老師 鐵路 要司機
Teachers are needed for schoolwork; drivers for the railways
審計交稅有會計師 股市 靠經紀
Accountants are needed for auditing and tax filing; agents for stock trading
螺絲釘 每日如是似棋
I live my days like a chessman or a screw
可惜要扣緊螺絲帽 統一輪廓才合理
And I must be fastened to the nut to stay in sync with the overall structure
歌已翻唱五六百首 也沒有打賞
I've covered 500–600 songs without any rewards
演戲街舞寫作插畫 生計談不上
Hardly can I make a living by multitasking as an artist
仍奮力向上 明知經濟太沒保障
Regardless I soldier on, even the safety net is miles away
實際主義注重利益 為理想太漫長
In society money talks. It takes forever to fulfil one's dream
*耗盡心血是多餘嗎 何苦倒了又再爬
Are these efforts superfluous? How come I'm still struggling?
不想照制度前進 沒有最差只有更差
I don't want to go by the rules, but it's only getting worse and worse
每日栽種望天長卦 泥土乾涸無雨下
Planting seeds day by day, but not a drop of rain for the dry soil
那怎能開花 結果全都一樣嗎
How could there be flowers? Always the same result?
夢想在哪
Where's my dream?*
若忽然到達才驚訝
I'd be surprised if it did come true
總也好過吃玩買衫 最後記不起
Still better than fun seeking always and then forget what I've done
只盼一次心血作品 讓旁人憶記
My only wish is that one of my works would be remembered
無終點班機 途中景緻更為優美
Scenery is still beautiful even on a flight without destination
路縱彎卻最能找到知己
The road is rough but I can still make many friends
重複repeat *
是多餘嗎
Is it all superfluous?
拚命工作能麻醉吧
Can't work make me numb?
使命感已淪為空話 都睇化
Is 'sense of duty' just lip service? I'm used to it
這段勵志歌 想聽嗎
Is this motivational song worth a listen?
這樣的我極多餘嗎 明知苦卻又再爬
Am I superfluous? Still struggling despite all the hurdles
給選中哪能逃去 命數預了需吃風沙
Or am I destined to suffer so much?
進步先要累積籌碼 投資想有回報吧
Progress takes time and effort, just as return on investment
承認造化 白費很高雅
Accept your destiny, it won't go to waste
嫌多餘嗎 留多餘氣力來招駕
Still feeling superfluous? Save your strength to embrace the hurdles
夢想無價 付出極快樂無牽掛
Your dream is priceless, worth giving your all without holding back
