9 to 5

[00:09.65] Tumble outta bed and I stumble to the kitchen
[00:12.14] Pour myself a cup of ambition
[00:14.20] And yawn and stretch and try to come to life
[00:18.96] Jump in the shower and the blood starts pumpin'
[00:21.77] Out on the street, the traffic starts jumpin'
[00:23.91] The folks like me on the job from 9 to 5
[00:27.78] Workin' 9 to 5, what a way to make a livin'
[00:32.55] Barely gettin' by, it's all takin' and no givin'
[00:37.51] They just use your mind
[00:40.24] And they never give you credit
[00:42.01] It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it
[00:46.87] 9 to 5, for service and devotion
[00:51.39] You would think that I
[00:53.89] Would deserve a fair promotion
[00:56.09] Want to move ahead
[00:58.42] But the boss won't seem to let me
[01:00.73] I swear sometimes that man is out to get me
[01:05.48] Mmm
[01:07.90]
[01:10.75] They let you dream just to watch 'em shatter
[01:12.44] You're just a step on the boss-man's ladder
[01:14.90] But you got dreams he'll never take away
[01:18.99] You're in the same boat with a lot of your friends
[01:21.82] Waitin' for the day your ship'll come in
[01:24.08] And the tide's gonna turn
[01:25.55] And it's all gonna roll your way
[01:28.22] Workin' 9 to 5, what a way to make a livin'
[01:33.31] Barely gettin' by, it's all takin' and no givin'
[01:37.52] They just use your mind
[01:40.09] And you never get the credit
[01:42.17] It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it
[01:46.85] 9 to 5, yeah
[01:49.44] They got you where they want you
[01:51.11] There's a better life
[01:53.55] And you think about it, don't you?
[01:55.90] It's a rich man's game
[01:57.98] No matter what they call it
[02:00.46] And you spend your life
[02:02.48] Puttin' money in his wallet
[02:05.14] 9 to 5, what a way to make a livin'
[02:09.08] Barely gettin' by, it's all takin' and no givin'
[02:13.52] They just use your mind
[02:16.05] And they never give you credit
[02:17.96] It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it
[02:22.72] 9 to 5, yeah
[02:25.15] They got you where they want you
[02:27.46] There's a better life
[02:29.73] And you dream about it, don't you?
[02:31.78] It's a rich man's game
[02:34.04] No matter what they call it
[02:36.00] And you spend your life
[02:38.22] Puttin' money in his wallet
[02:39.87]
