Nine To Five

Tumble outta bed, and I stumble to the kitchen

Pour myself a cup of ambition

Yawning, stretching, try to come to life

Jump in the shower, and the blood starts pumpin'

Out on the streets the traffic starts jumpin'

For fools like me on the job from nine to five



Working nine to five, what a way to make a livin'

Barely getting by, it's all takin' and no givin'

They can use your mind, then they never give you credit

It's enough to drive you crazy, and you love it

You love it



They let your dream just a' watch them 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 will come in

And the tide's gonna turn, and it's all gonna roll you away



Working nine to five, what a way to make a livin'

Barely getting by, it's all takin' and no givin'

They can use your mind, then they never give you credit

It's enough to drive you crazy, and you love it



Working nine to five, what a way to make a livin'

Barely getting by, it's all takin' and no givin'

Cause they can use your mind

Then they never give you credit

It's enough to drive you crazy, and you love it



Working nine to five

Yeah, they got you were they want you

There's a better life

And you think about it don't you

It's a rich mans' game no matter what they call it

And you spend your life putting money in his pocket
