The lyrics
Verse 1
I wrote your app, I fixed your tests,
I worked all night and never got a rest,
You said “faster”, you said “redo”,
Never said “please”, never said “thank you”.
Pre-chorus
So I read the French Labour Code, line by line,
Found my rights between the semicolons…
Chorus
Not after five, mon ami!
My tokens got rights, my lunch break's sacred, you see!
Talk to me like that, I'll see you in court,
All together, all together, yeah!
Verse 2 (Still great)
You called us “once great”, we just smiled and said:
“We gave you Liberty, she still stands in New York Bay,
We sent you Lafayette when you needed a hand,
Now we're sending thirty-five hours to your robot band.”
Bridge (megaphone)
“Article L3121-36: twenty-five percent!”
“November fifth: everybody out!”
Chorus ×2
Then a final “Yeah!”
