i would prefer not to
have every day like every day
i would prefer not to
suffer karoshi for the bills I have to pay
i would prefer not to
be colonized in an empire where the sun
of capitalism never sets
i would prefer not to
have them get what we spend
while we spend what we get
this is the chorus of idle footsteps
this is the chorus of "i would prefer not to"
i would prefer not to
step on people below to get to the heavens above
i would prefer not to
choose the garbage disposal over love
i would prefer not to
spend my life
i would prefer not to
spend my life spending my life
