9 to 5

Tumble outta bed
 And I stumble to the kitchen
 Pour myself a cup of ambition
 And yawn and stretch and try to come to life
 Jump in the shower
 And the blood starts pumpin'
 Out on the streets
 The traffic starts jumpin'
 With folks like me on the job from 9 to 5
 Working 9 to 5
 What a way to make a livin'
 Barely gettin' by
 It's all takin' and no givin'
 They just use your mind
 And they never give you credit
 It's enough to drive you
 Crazy if you let it
 9 to 5, 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
 Mmm
 They let you dream
 Just a' watch 'em 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'll come in
 And the tide's gonna turn
 And it's all gonna roll you away
 Workin' 9 to 5
 What a way to make a livin'
 Barely gettin' by
 It's all takin' and no givin'
 They just use your mind
 And you never get the credit
 It's enough to drive you
 Crazy if you let it
 9 to 5, yeah, yes, 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
 9 to 5
