9 to 5

[00:09.55] Tumble outta bed and I stumble to the kitchen
[00:12.06] Pour myself a cup of ambition
[00:14.14] And yawn and stretch and try to come to life
[00:19.09] Jump in the shower and the blood starts pumpin'
[00:21.75] Out on the street, the traffic starts jumpin'
[00:23.80] The folks like me on the job from 9 to 5
[00:27.82] Workin' 9 to 5, what a way to make a livin'
[00:32.65] Barely gettin' by, it's all takin' and no givin'
[00:37.58] They just use your mind
[00:40.35] And they never give you credit
[00:42.03] It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it
[00:46.83] 9 to 5, for service and devotion
[00:51.38] You would think that I
[00:53.85] Would deserve a fair promotion
[00:56.06] Want to move ahead
[00:58.48] But the boss won't seem to let me
[01:00.72] I swear sometimes that man is out to get me
[01:05.42] Mmm
[01:10.72] They let you dream just to watch 'em shatter
[01:12.44] You're just a step on the boss-man's ladder
[01:14.96] But you got dreams he'll never take away
[01:18.92] You're in the same boat with a lot of your friends
[01:21.83] Waitin' for the day your ship'll come in
[01:24.03] And the tide's gonna turn
[01:25.51] And it's all gonna roll your way
[01:28.28] Workin' 9 to 5, what a way to make a livin'
[01:33.32] Barely gettin' by, it's all takin' and no givin'
[01:37.54] They just use your mind
[01:40.04] And you never get the credit
[01:42.18] It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it
[01:46.86] 9 to 5, yeah
[01:49.50] They got you where they want you
[01:51.14] There's a better life
[01:53.59] And you think about it, don't you?
[01:55.97] It's a rich man's game
[01:57.98] No matter what they call it
[02:00.48] And you spend your life
[02:02.41] Puttin' money in his wallet
[02:05.14] 9 to 5, what a way to make a livin'
[02:09.28] Barely gettin' by, it's all takin' and no givin'
[02:13.56] They just use your mind
[02:16.56] And they never give you credit
[02:17.92] It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it
[02:22.74] 9 to 5, yeah
[02:25.12] They got you where they want you
[02:27.48] There's a better life
[02:29.72] And you dream about it, don't you?
[02:31.75] It's a rich man's game
[02:34.18] No matter what they call it
[02:36.04] And you spend your life
[02:38.39] Puttin' money in his wallet
[02:40.33]
