p508905422.jpgAlright, so you should be keeping an eye on Top Floor Circus at the moment. As we all gear up to say goodbye to Haibao, Ding Ma are releasing a fair bit of new material - hopefully with a view to a gig in Shanghai after far too long without one. The latest track to go up is 'A White Collar Song'. It's the top one on their Douban and is available for download for free.

It's almost nu-metal-like in places and features a sample from the Shanghai TV show 新老娘舅

Here's the lyrics:
《小白领之歌》 "A White-collar Song" 

(1) 
(陆) 
早上轧子公交地铁上班去 
我是一个上海白领小青年 
到公司打卡是鼎鼎(最最)重要额(的)事体 
只要坐进办公室,我就想死 

(1) 
(Lu) 
In the morning I go to work by the crowded bus or subway 
I'm a Shanghai white-collar young man 
It's a vital thing to punch in when you reach company 
The minute I sit down in my office, I'd prefer myself R.I.P. 

(梅) 
大学毕业寻工作轧破头皮 
额(的)骨头高又碰到金融危机 
不管是去国企还是外企 
有份工作,就算侬了不起 

(Mei) 
After graduation you go busy job hunting 
Lucky dogs meet financial crisis 
Whether you go to Chinese company or foreign company 
Having a job, you are the king 

(陆) 
下子班两点一线再冲回窝里 
夜饭马马虎虎扒两口就搞定 
点好香烟,电脑马上开机 
一头冲进魔兽世界里 

(Lu) 
Point to point I rush home after work 
Grab the dinner absent-mindedly 
Light a cigarette, turn on the computer 
Dash in to WOW immediately 

(梅) 
爷老头子(老爸)讲我已经一把年纪 
哪能(怎么)还没带个女朋友回窝里(家里) 
天天朝我咕哩咕哩咕哩发脾气 
为来为去为各(这)种小事体 

(Mei) 
Father says that I'm gaining age 
Why haven't I taken a girlfriend back let him see 
Day after day he keeps nagging me 
Merely for such trivial thing 

(陆) 
哈(也)不是没想过去寻只女人 
但是总归觉着一噶头(个人)么最适宜 
要被伊管头管脚,还要坏铜钿(花钞票) 
还不如蹲了窝里,荡荡(下载)毛片 

(Lu) 
It's not that I've never thought about getting a woman 
But I still find it most comfortable to remain single 
She will control your body and ruin your money 
I'd rather stay home and download AV 

chorus 
阿拉(我们)就是一帮上海小白领 
人人都是月光族穷得来哒哒滴 
阿拉就是一帮上海小白领 
结婚买房子裁(都)靠爷娘撑两钿(钱) 
阿拉就是一帮上海小白领 
买好房子集体帮银行打工去 
阿拉就是一帮上海小白领 
我自家哈(也)养不活,还要养小宁(小孩) 

chorus 
We are a group of little Shanghai white-collar 
Everybody belongs to the New Poor, out of money 
We are a group of little Shanghai white-collar 
Wedding and housing all depends on parents' money 
We are a group of little Shanghai white-collar 
Buy a house then we are all slaves to the bank 
We are a group of little Shanghai white-collar 
I can't even feed myself, and now I have to feed my baby 

(2) 
(陆) 
上班上班上班工资么没两钿(钱) 
开销倒大得来吓死人 
老同学聚会要到卡拉ok去 
新同事吃夜宵侬总归要陪得去 

(2) 
(Lu) 
Work work work and so little wage 
While expense is staggeringly large 
Old class reunion we go to Karaoke 
New colleague eats night snack, I should also accompany 

(梅) 
啥辰光(时候)再好袋袋里装满米 
身高头(上面)么最好再调层皮 
伐(不)要啥人看到我裁(都)觉得龊气(讨厌) 
我么对啥人裁(都)西皮踏脸(死皮懒脸) 

(Mei) 
When would my pocket filled with money 
Then I'd better have a facial cosmetic surgery 
I don't want others think me annoying 
And I won't be thick-skinned to everybody 

(陆) 
越讲越觉着腥瘙啦气(没啥意思) 
哈(也)没啥贵人了旁边撬撬边(吹嘘吹嘘) 
阿拉各(这)种人了(在)上海,伐(不)算稀奇 
伐(不)上伐(不)下,是只小白领 

(Lu) 
The more I speak the more bored I feel 
Neither do I have a helper to brag for me 
People like me in Shanghai are not seldom seen 
No up no down, we are only little white collar 

chorus 
阿拉就是一帮上海小白领 
哪能(怎么)混上去侬倒是要动动脑筋 
阿拉就是一帮上海小白领 
混伐(不)上去只好了(在)网上聊聊天 
阿拉就是一帮上海小白领 
恨起来我就拿老板炒忒(掉)伊 
阿拉就是一帮上海小白领 
大不了到垃圾桶去拾垃圾 

chorus 
We are a group of little Shanghai white-collar 
How to climb up you should use your brain 
We are a group of little Shanghai white-collar 
Fail to climb up we just turn to net-chatting 
We are a group of little Shanghai white-collar 
Fire the boss if I get angry 
We are a group of little Shanghai white-collar 
At the worst I go collecting rubbish in the rubbish bin 

(3) 
(陆) 
股票天天了(在)跌,房价日涨夜涨 
从股市里赚出首付钞票看来是做梦 
工资年年了(在)割,物价一路往上 
辛巴克吃起来,已经没老早香 

(3) 
(Lu) 
Every day the stock is falling, every night the housing price is rising 
It seems only a dream to earn the down payment in the stock market 
Salary is cutting every year, price is going all the way up 
Starbucks doesn't taste as good as in the past 

(梅) 
内环实在特贵,外环伊又觉得远 
伊当我是,姚明刘翔 
我要哪能(怎么)再买得起一套新房 
毛脚女婿想问问侬亲爱的丈母娘 

(Mei) 
Inner ring is too rich, outer ring she feels too far 
She thinks I am Yao Ming, Liu Xiang 
How can I afford to buy a new house 
Son-in-law would like to ask my dear mother-in-law 

chorus 
阿拉就是一帮上海小白领 
每趟到伊屋里,我就不敢发声音 
阿拉就是一帮上海小白领 
丈人老头侬到底肯,赞助我几钿(钱) 
阿拉就是一帮上海小白领 
从此一家老小裁(都)靠我卖命 
阿拉就是一帮上海小白领 
下趟碰倒啥事体,只好寻柏万青 

chorus 
We are a group of little Shanghai white-collar 
Everytime I go to her home, I don't dare to say anything 
We are a group of little Shanghai white-collar 
My father-in-law, how much can you sponsor me 
We are a group of little Shanghai white-collar 
From now on the whole family depends on me 
We are a group of little Shanghai white-collar 
If something happened in the future, I can only consult Bai Wanqing
