One Hour

from Barins by Barins

lyrics

Working in a hospital as a housekeeper can be crap, but working in a hospital as a housekeeper in a country in which you can't speak its language is cruel!

One day I was about to simply go home one hour before the end of my shift, by mistake.
And I couldn't even explain to the furious supervisors who were facing me that I hadn't done it out of spite...

Well, I thought "when it happens, generally people arrive one hour late..."

One hour I'll change, yeah, change attitude, change bins too

Three phalanges on every finger, counting till 12 with the thumb on one hand
All analogies among sets of data

I found out what refraction is, at work, lying on a couch in an empty ward, looking to the window trying not to sleep
I was supposed to clean that ward but the hangover was killing me

Never say "see you tomorrow" to your supervisor just by hearing traces of a conversation between people who don't speak your same language!
