|
Up every mornin' just to keep a job |
|
I gotta fight my way through the hustlin' mob |
|
Sounds of the city poundin' in my brain |
|
While another day goes down the drain |
|
But it's a five o'clock world when the whistle blows |
|
No one owns a piece of my time |
|
And there's a five o'clock me inside my clothes |
|
Thinkin' that the world looks fine |
|
Tradin' my time for the pay I get |
|
Livin' on money that I ain't made yet |
|
Gotta keep goin', gotta make my way |
|
While I live for the end of the day |
|
'Cause it's a five o'clock world when the whistle blows |
|
No one owns a piece of my time |
|
And there's a long-haired girl who waits, I know |
|
To ease my troubled mind |
|
In the shelter of her arms every thing's okay |
|
She talks and the world goes slippin' away |
|
And I know the reason I can still go on |
|
When every other reason is gone |
|
In my five o'clock world, she waits for me |
|
Nothing else matters at all |
|
'Cause every time my baby smiles at me |
|
I know that it's all worthwhile |
