Tumble outta bed
And stumble to
The kitchen
Pour myself a cup
Of ambition
Yawn and stretch
And try to come to life
Jump in the shower
And the blood
Starts pumpin
Out on the streets
The traffic
Starts jumpin
With folks like me
On the job from
9 to 5
Working 9 to 5
What a way to
Make a living
Barely gettin by
It's all taking
And no giving
They just use
Your mind
And they never
Give you credit
It's enough to
Drive you
Crazy if you let it
9 to 5 for service
And devotion
You would think
That i
Would deserve
A fair promotion
Want to move ahead
But the boss won't
Seem to let me
I swear sometimes
That man is
Out to get me
Mmmmm
They let you dream
Just to watch
Them shatter
You're just a step
On the boss
Man's ladder
But you got dreams
He'll never take away
In the same boat
With a lot of
Your friends
Waiting for the day
Your ship
Will come in
And the tide's
Gonna turn
An' it's all gonna
Roll you away
Working 9 to 5
What a way to
Make a living
Barely gettin by
It's all taking
And no giving
They just use
Your mind
And they never
Give you credit
It's enough to
Drive you
Crazy if you let it
9 to 5 yeah they got
You where they
Want you
There's a better life
And you think
About it don't you
It's a rich man's game
No matter what
They call it
And you spend
Your life
Putting money
In his wallet
9 to 5
