9 to 5

Tumble out of bed cnd stumble to the kitchen Pour myself a cup of ambition cnd yawn and stretch and try to come to life Jump in the shower cnd the blood starts pumpin' Out on the streets, the traffic starts jumpin' For folks like me on the job from 9 to 5 Workin' 9 to 5 What a way to make a livin' Barely gettin' by It's all takin' and no givin' They just use your mind cnd they never give you credit It's enough to drive you Crazy if you let it They let you dream Just a watch 'em 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 Waitin' for the day your ship'll come in cnd the tide's gonna turn cnd it's all gonna roll you away Workin' 9 to 5 What a way to make a livin' Barely gettin' by It's all takin' and no givin' They just use your mind cnd 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 fat promotion Want to move ahead But the boss won't seem to let me I swear sometimes that man is Out to get me 9 to 5 Yeah, they got you were they want you There's a better life cnd you think about it, don't you? It's a rich man's game No matter what they call it cnd you spend your life Putting money in his wallet
