9 to 5

Eyes are red Staring at computer screens Click clacking on her pen she hears a new beat She knows she better keep it down Before they call the office police to shut her down Typing nonsense numbers on a keyboard Daydreaming about the day she gets to record This is what they call the American Dream You wake up and clock in and do it again What can I say about this 9 to 5 I'm living my life under fluorescent lights These cubicle walls feel like their closing in Somebody better save me from this dream I'm in Daydreaming about the two week notice Staring at the walls don't want to lose her focus She politicking cause she understand the logic Come time for the review and she'll be getting the deposit The company just set a new record Maybe now she'll get the funds to make a new record A million in the bank when it hit There's no raise, no pension, no bonus, no tip But they told us they got a surprise They can see the defeat in her eyes When she open up the door Congratulations to our team This is what they call the American Dream What can I say about this 9 to 5 I'm living my life under fluorescent lights These cubicle walls feel like their closing in Somebody better save me from this dream I'm in What can I say about this 9 to 5 What can I say about this 9 to 5
