FACTOTUM Lyrics
[Ritornello 1]
Fuori č ancora buio pesto
Che bestemmio appena sveglio
Mangio male e poco sesso
Faccio tutto a basso prezzo
Ehi, lavori umili, vestiti sudici in buchi umidi
Uomini ruvidi, a trenta ruderi con gli occhi lucidi
Signore, aiutami, Signore, Signore, Signore
[Strofa 1]
Il lavoro debilita l’uomo, non rinuncia la sera all’uscita
Vado a letto la notte che muoio, mi sveglio che sono quasi in fin di vita
Oggi in un cantiere io e un eritreo, metto canaline su un piano intero
In pausa stecchiti dormiamo in cartoni imbottiti di lana di vetro
La vita č “produci-consuma-crepa”, chiunque di noi prima o poi lo accetta
Č che si crepa giŕ prima di finire sotto terra
Produco il meno possibile, rubo il rubabile per ritardare che mi crepi l’anima
Poi fuori fa scuro ed ognuno va nel formicaio in cui abita
[Ritornello 1]
Fuori č ancora buio pesto
Che bestemmio appena sveglio
Mangio male e poco sesso (Oh-oh-oh)
Faccio tutto a basso prezzo
Ehi, lavori umili, vestiti sudici in buchi umidi
Uomini ruvidi, a trenta ruderi con gli occhi lucidi
Signore, aiutami, Signore, Signore, Signore

[Strofa 2]
Sě, qualche mese alla Swiss Post, magazziniere part-time in Swatch
Mediaworld, Carrefour, carico, scarico, dammi un incarico e lě sto
Coi disertori, gli ammutinati, lavori saltuari, facciamo di tutto
Legali e illegali, ma basta una multa e la giornata č gratis
Che vita di scrocco, piccoli prestiti, squilli 4088, yeah
Mossi per pagarti I vizi e del cibo precotto
Siamo delle popolari, facciamo di tutto, legali e illegali
Prendiamo di tutto, legali e illegali
Nessuna ref, nessuno che mi assuma, nessuno a me
Sicuro devi leccare il culo per
Ti giuro che piuttosto digiuno, man, o rubo a te
Nessuna c’č, nessuno che mi aiuta, nessuno a me
Ti giuro che piuttosto digiuno, man
Sě, fuggo in un bel giorno di giugno e ti giuro che
[Ritornello 2]
Fuori č ancora buio pesto
Che bestemmio appena sveglio
Mangio male e poco sesso (Oh-oh-oh)
Faccio tutto a basso prezzo, ehi
Contratti subdoli, miseri sudditi
Schiavi dei mutui, e come stupidi
Sputtani gli utili in cose futili
Che Dio li fulmini
Factotum, factotum, factotum
[Outro]
Inchiodati alle abitudini (Lavori utili)
Col sole o coi fulmini (Legami futili)
Ammaccati come vecchi pugili (Legumi il lunedě)
Perché gli ultimi saranno gli ultimi (Mutui per ruderi)
Mangiamo scatolette, guidiamo scatolette, viviamo in scatolette (A trenta subdoli)
Forza, che oggi č lunedě
Solo Dio sa come si vive qui (Restare lucidi)
Solo Dio sa come si vive qui
Solo Dio sa come si vive qui (Con gli occhi sudici)
Solo Dio sa come si vive qui
E se ne fotte

FACTOTUM Lyrics Meaning
[Ritornello 1]
The first chorus describes the tough start to the day—everything feels dark and hopeless. The singer curses upon waking up, reflects on eating poorly, and acknowledges the lack of intimacy. Everything in life feels cheap, from the low-wage labor to the grimy, humid workspaces. The people around him are rough and worn out by life, struggling to make ends meet. The plea for help represents his feeling of being stuck in this harsh reality.
[Strofa 1]
In the first verse, the song delves deeper into the exhausting and soul-crushing nature of the singer’s work life. The physical toll of labor is evident, as he feels drained by night and barely alive by morning. He describes working on a construction site with an Eritrean worker, sleeping on cardboard during breaks, and facing the harsh cycle of “produce-consume-die,” which seems inevitable. The singer seems to be only surviving, taking as little as possible from the world to delay the eventual emotional burnout. Despite everything, he continues to work in a world that feels dark and mechanical, with each person just a part of the “ant colony.”
[Ritornello 1 (repeated)]
The chorus repeats the themes from earlier: a life filled with frustration and exhaustion. The singer continues to wake up to darkness, cursed and drained by poor food and lack of intimacy. Everything is done at the lowest cost—reflecting both literal and emotional poverty. The image of rough men at the age of 30, already worn out by life, highlights the toll that this grind has on them. The plea to God for help shows a sense of desperation and helplessness in the face of life’s challenges.
[Strofa 2]
The second verse focuses on the singer’s struggles with temporary jobs, such as part-time work at Swiss Post, Mediaworld, and Carrefour. The work is menial and unstable, and he and others do anything to survive—both legal and illegal. There’s a feeling of scrounging for survival, relying on small loans and quick fixes to get by. The lack of stable employment means that the singer often faces rejection. He expresses frustration about the corrupt world where one needs to “lick up” to get ahead, choosing instead to steal or starve rather than compromise his dignity. There’s a sense of loneliness, with no one offering help or support, and the singer dreams of escaping his harsh reality.
[Ritornello 2]
In the second chorus, the bleakness continues, emphasizing the hardships of life. The singer mentions deceptive contracts, people enslaved by debts, and how they waste their earnings on trivial things. The repetition of “Factotum” suggests a sense of being a jack-of-all-trades in a system that exploits people. It’s a cry against the endless cycle of struggle, where people are stuck in miserable, low-value jobs that strip away their dignity.
[Outro]
The outro wraps up the song with a sense of resignation to routine and the harsh realities of life. The singer feels stuck in repetitive, meaningless work and relationships. The comparison to old boxers who are beaten down over time reflects the weariness of his existence. He describes living in poverty, with no more dreams, just survival. The phrase “only God knows how we live” suggests a bleak outlook on life and a lack of hope. The line “and he doesn’t care” shows the singer’s feeling of abandonment by both society and a higher power, reinforcing the sense of hopelessness.
