満員電車に ゆらゆらゆれて
太いネクタイ ぶら下げて
タイムカードと8時のデー卜
Get up Get Get Get up
会社につけぱ
山ほど仕事が待っているよな
いないよな
Woo Woo Ah Ah きまりのコースさ
Woo Woo Ah Ah
ビアビア ビアホール
Woo Woo Ah Ah めあては女さ
Woo Woo Ah Ah いる訳ないのさ
Woo Woo Ah Ah ふり向く女は
Woo Woo Ah Ah 会社の仲間さ
OH さめざめ Woo......
週に一度の見栄のゴルフは
体動かす唯一の仕事
頭使った覚えはないのさ
悩む事などありはしないのサ
Get up Get Get Get up
昼までもたせりゃ後は
五時まで起きているよないないよな
Woo Woo Ah Ah 仕事が終われば
Woo Woo Ah Ah 得意のパターンさ
Woo Woo Ah Ah 今をときめく
Woo Woo Ah Ah 裸天国
Woo Woo Ah Ah はずかしまぎれに
Woo Woo Ah Ah まわりをみわたしゃ
Woo Woo Ah Ah 会社の仲間さ
OH さめざめ Woo......
Woo Woo Ah Ah 仕事が終われば
Woo Woo Ah Ah 得意のパターンさ

The song "Guerrilla" by BOøWY is about the mundane, repetitious life of working society. The lyrics describe the routine of waking up early every morning, taking the crowded train to work, wearing a suit and tie, punching the time card, and working all day. The chorus of the song implies that after work, the only thing to look forward to is going to the bar and drinking with coworkers and trying to pick up women, but ultimately feeling unfulfilled.
The lyrics convey a sense of dissatisfaction and disillusionment with the corporate lifestyle. The use of the word "guerrilla" in the title suggests a certain rebellious attitude towards the idea of conforming to societal expectations. The song highlights the cyclical nature of daily life, and the feeling of being trapped in a routine that provides little personal fulfillment.
Overall, the message of the song is about the monotony of working life and the desire to break free from the constraints of society's expectations.
