|
Tumble Out of Bed and Stumble to the Kitchen; |
|
Pour Myself a Cup of Ambition, |
|
And Yawn, and Stretch, and Try to Come alive. |
|
Jump in the Shower, and the Blood Starts Pumping; |
|
Out On the Street, the Traffic Starts Jumping, |
|
With Folks Like Me On the Job From Nine to Five. |
|
Working Nine to Five, What a Way to Make a Living |
|
Barely Getting 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 |
|
They Let You Dream Just to Watch Them Shatter; |
|
You're Just a Step On the Boss Man's Ladder, |
|
But You've Got Dreams He'll Never Take Away. |
|
In the Same Boat With a Lot of Your Friends; |
|
Waitin' For the Day Your Ship'll Come In, |
|
And the Tide's Gonna Turn, and It's All Gonna Roll Your Way. |
|
Working Nine to Five, What a Way to Make a Living |
|
Barely Getting By, it's All Taking and no Giving |
|
They Just Use Your Mind, and you never get the credit |
|
It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it |
|
Nine to Five, yeah They've Got You Where They Want You; |
|
There's a Better Life, and You think that i want, 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 Pocket. |
