Punch the Clock (EN)

I see my badge on the table,
The same name is on the plate on the door,
Mail envelope blinking, waiting,
I saw it all before!
(Déjà vu!)

File after file, day after day, weeks after weeks,
My palms were repeating the blind typing tricks,
Same routine work, same little corporate cage
But my mind always wanted range!

I kept one map folded in the back of my desk,
I kept one wild promise beating inside my chest,
And now I looked at my life, then at my shoe-shine shoes,
And I said, "I can't stay here, while
I've got a thousand miles to choose"!

Bye-bye, boring office! I'm out, I'm out!!!
Bye-bye, boring office! I know what I'm about!!!
Pack my life in a backpack, kick the door - let it swing!
Bye-bye, boring office! I'm gone on the wind!!!
Gone on the wind!

Train to the border, night bus to the sea,
Coins in my pocket, just a road and me,
Hot-dog on a street, dust on my face,
But every new little town feels like a brand-new place!

If you need me, find me near a ferry line,
Learning how to live slow at a border sign!
No more clock hands, no more dead-end weeks,
Just a map full of wonder, and the road beneath my feet!

I kept one map folded in the back of my head,
I kept one hard question: "Why stay where I bled?"
Now the sky keeps showing, all roads in my name,
And every new morning
Opens another frame!

Bye-bye, boring office! I'm out, I'm out!!!
Bye-bye, boring office! I know what I'm about!!!
Pack my life in a backpack, kick the door - let it swing!
Bye-bye, boring office! I'm gone on the wind!!!
Gone on the wind!

Bye-bye, boring office! I'm out, I'm out!!!
Bye-bye, boring office! I know what I'm about!!!
Pack my life in a backpack, kick the door - let it swing!
Bye-bye, boring office! I'm gone on the wind!!!
Gone on the wind!
