- Working Overtime Lyrics / with translationsWho's that over there
Looks like he dont care
Almost lost his time
Too much working overtime
Gotta get up every night
Sit against an open wide
Gonna get away from here
Take that car and push that gear
You turn me in no one
He's the rising sun
He wont share no tears
Got no time to break down here, Hey!
He's going nowhere fast
Just a piece of dirty trash
All alone by himself
He dont need nobody else
Walking down the street
So much going on
People everywhere
Look at him but they dont care
See that world out there
Make it go away
You can change his mind
Too much working overtime
Hey! overtime [5x]
Overtime [4x]
He crossed that wicked line
In trouble all the time
Where did it all go wrong
Hands easy all night long
All those girls out there
Looking for the one
Do they really care
Could they just be having fun
He did all he could
Try to get it right
Somewhere he went wrong
Too much working overtime
Hey! overtime [5x]
Overtime [4x]
Looks like he dont care
Almost lost his time
Too much working overtime
Gotta get up every night
Sit against an open wide
Gonna get away from here
Take that car and push that gear
You turn me in no one
He's the rising sun
He wont share no tears
Got no time to break down here, Hey!
He's going nowhere fast
Just a piece of dirty trash
All alone by himself
He dont need nobody else
Walking down the street
So much going on
People everywhere
Look at him but they dont care
Make it go away
You can change his mind
Too much working overtime
Hey! overtime [5x]
Overtime [4x]
He crossed that wicked line
In trouble all the time
Where did it all go wrong
Hands easy all night long
All those girls out there
Looking for the one
Do they really care
Could they just be having fun
He did all he could
Try to get it right
Somewhere he went wrong
Too much working overtime
Hey! overtime [5x]
Overtime [4x]

When we think about what all of this might truly mean, New Order's song 'Working Overtime' depicts a person who, due to the demands of work and life, feels intruded upon and detached from society. The words narrate the feeling of being alone, losing faith, and a desire to break free, which are all represented by the working overtime metaphor of a weight that has affected the character's health and sanity. Working overtime lyrics are an explicit invitation to experience the character's inner world: he [or she] goes through the gamut of emotions like angst, solitude, reflection, despair and at the same time social commentary. It is thus no wonder that the song takes a different turn for the listener, stressing the benefits of isolation and loneliness, battle and suffering and the quest for meaning. The lyrics contain some mature themes related to personal struggles and societal observations, which may not be suitable for younger children. However, there is no explicit language, violence, or drug use present, making it appropriate for a PG rating.
