I describe my ongoing lyrics writing projects. Where I get my ideas, how I match my words with other people's music, which little helpers I use...
I've not worked on the coutry jargon yet - I'll probably need some assistence here, but I've extended the chorus and written an additional verse and pre-chorus. I also rearranged the verses to obtain a sensible sequence:
I won't give in
VERSE
my freedom ends at your factory door
the next few hours are mine no more
you are in power - I do my job
I'm working hard, but you're not God
VERSE
you pay the wage, you're in the driver's seat
I'm just some source that you deplete
but that's restricted to the working hours
at quitting time you simply lose your power
PRE-CHORUS
you may think you can dictate to me
you may think you can lay down the law
you base your views on ideology
but your theories have got a flaw
CHORUS
I'm not your own
I'm not your kin
I've got my pride
I won't give in
I'm not your slave
I'm not your kin
I'm on the other side
I won't give in
VERSE
my hardship ends at closing time
I've no intent to social climb
I just enjoy my evening beer
when I'm joining with my peers
PRE-CHORUS
you may think you can dictate to me
you may think you can lay down the law
you base your views on ideology
but your theories have got a flaw
CHORUS
I'm not your own
I'm not your kin
I've got my pride
I won't give in
I'm not your slave
I'm not your kin
I'm on the other side
I won't give in
VERSE
I saw your patronizing look
like I was some kind of crook
while you're master of the universe
you see, I'm somewhat boss-averse
PRE-CHORUS II
when you think that you can break me
you just deceive yourself
while I am looking forward to
the time when I'll look down on you
CHORUS
I'm not your own
I'm not your kin
I've got my pride
I won't give in
I'm not your slave
I'm not your kin
I'm on the other side
I won't give in
