ave;new Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And underpaid
Overworked and underpaid
We have been working our lives away
Overworked and underpaid
Eighty hours a week no time left in the day
I am a victim to the wealth of the white man
We can't move up
This factory is how we survive
Cuz we are overworked and underpaid
We are just working our lives away
Dirty little women
Covered in soot
Covered in sweat
Covered in disregard and disrespect
Cuz no one sees us for who we are
Filthy little women
In their eyes
We are weak
We are never a threat, only small and meek
As long as we make sure not to speak
Shhh
Don't draw attention
Or you'll be out on the streets
Back to work
Oi
I never thought, in my life time
I'd be working in this grit and grime
As if I'm being punished as if I did commit a crime
A cell, a prison of lady laborers
Working as the male dog barks his endless orders
Yes sir, no sir, I swear that wasn't me sir
Please sir , please sir
I will do it better sir
The hours I work are long and hard
I never see my children play
Every night when I get home
I pray that they are still awake
At least I know their mouths are fed
Their bellies are full of meat and bread
My bones ache when I lay my head
For the short time I spend in my bed
Overworked and underpaid
We have been working our lives away
Overworked and underpaid
Eighty hours a week no time left in the day
I am a victim to the wealth of the white man
We can't move up
No matter how hard we try
This factory is how we survive
Cuz we are overworked and underpaid
We are just working our lives away
Tired little women
Don't speak
Don't fuss
They know these conditions are bad for us
But they don't care that this is so dangerous
Cranky little women
If we
Speak up
Our punishment is our pay gets cut
The hours get long and we get hurt
Shhh
Don't draw attention
Keep your head down don't look up
There was a time
Not so long ago
When the work I did
Was appreciated
No machines to replace our hands
We were searched for
We were compensated
But within a flash
We were replaced
We were traded for machines without a face
And just like that
in London town in the late, late eighteenth century
Our weaving skills were hastily erased
Now we work the looms
In a factory
12 hours a day
No break to eat
Breathing in the air
That pollutes our lungs
Coughing it up
As we bite our tongues
Standing all day
While our feet go numb
If you look up
You might lose a thumb
But we can't complain
Or they'll have our pay
They don't care about us
It's just that way
We're only here
To get rich quick
Not money for us
Money for that prick
Yeah him, up there
He's the reason that we're quiet and we're scared
Scared
Scared
You're doing it wrong
Oi
Overworked and underpaid
We have been working our lives away
Overworked and underpaid
Eighty hours a week no time left in the day
I am a victim to the wealth of the white man
We can't move up
No matter how hard we try
This factory is how we survive
Overworked and underpaid (Dirty little women)
We have been working our lives away (Covered in soot)
Overworked and underpaid (Covered in sweat)
Eighty hours a week no time left in the day (Covered in disregard and disrespect)
(Cuz no one sees us for who we are)
I am a victim to the wealth of the white man (Filthy little women)
We can't move up (In their eyes, we are weak)
No matter how hard we try (We are never a threat only small and meak)
This factory is how we survive (As long as we make sure not to speak)
Shhh
Don't draw attention
Or you'll be out on the streets
Overworked and underpaid
Overworked and underpaid
Overworked and underpaid
We are just working our lives away
Our lives away
Our lives away
The song "JADE" by ave;new feat.羽月達也 depicts the struggles of women working in a factory where they are overworked and underpaid. The lyrics express the pain and hardship of being trapped in a system that offers no upward mobility and no recognition for their hard work. The women are portrayed as dirty and weak, covered in soot, sweat, and disregard, living in fear of being punished for speaking up or drawing attention to themselves.
The lyrics also touch on the historical context of the Industrial Revolution, where women's weaving skills were replaced by machines, and they were forced to work in factories for long hours with no breaks. Despite the harsh conditions, they are expected to keep quiet and not complain, as the factory owner is only interested in getting rich quickly.
Overall, "JADE" is a powerful ballad that sheds light on the harsh reality of women working in factories and the unfair treatment they endure daily.

There was a time
In the past
Not so long ago
Relatively recently
When the work I did
When I was doing work
Was appreciated
Was valued
No machines to replace our hands
We didn't have machines that could do our work for us
We were searched for
We were in demand
We were compensated
We were paid fairly
But within a flash
Suddenly
We were replaced
Machines were used instead of us
We were traded for machines without a face
We were exchanged for machines that had no personality
And just like that
As quickly as that
in London town in the late, late eighteenth century
In London during the 1700s
Our weaving skills were hastily erased
Our ability to weave things was quickly lost
Now we work the looms
Now we operate the machines that weave things
12 hours a day
For 12 hours every day
No break to eat
No time to take a break and eat food
Breathing in the air
Inhaling the atmosphere
That pollutes our lungs
That is harmful to our respiratory system
Coughing it up
Coughing because of it
As we bite our tongues
As we try to keep quiet
Standing all day
Standing upright for hours on end
While our feet go numb
To the point where our feet become numb
If you look up
If you lift your head
You might lose a thumb
You could have a serious accident
But we can't complain
But we can't express dissatisfaction
Or they'll have our pay
Or we'll lose our wages
They don't care about us
The people in charge don't care about our well-being
It's just that way
That's just how things are
We're only here
We are only present doing this work
To get rich quick
To make money quickly
Not money for us
Not money for ourselves
Money for that prick
Money for the person in charge who is rude and unfair
Yeah him, up there
Referring to the person in charge
He's the reason that we're quiet and we're scared
He is the reason we don't speak up and are afraid
You're doing it wrong
You are not doing it correctly
Oi
Hey
Our lives away
Our lives are being consumed by our work
Our lives away
Our lives are being consumed by our work
Our lives away
Our lives are being consumed by our work

They need to come out with a familiar that gives free tokens. WP(Mike). Can you please ask IGG for that.

@Perqhx I know he doesn't but he has a lot more influence then I do. If he wrote them they might consider it
Perqhx
@xTrickster na the part where you said “Mike can you ask igg for that.” He doesn’t work for igg.
