Tumble out of 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 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
Nine to five 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
They let you dream just to watch them shatter You're just step on the boss man's ladder But you got dreams they'll never take away In the same boat with a lot of your friends Waiting for the day your ship will come in Then the tide's going to turn And it's all going to 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 they never give you credit It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it
Nine to five, 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
