9 to 5

Father's been working all night long
 To feed the babies and keep them strong
 Mother's been waitressing again
 To pay for wasted time well spent
 So pardon me Mr. officer
 I have a little question for you
 Why can't we drink just to get drunk
 Why can't we smoke just to get high
 I'm motivated by a nine to five life
 It's worth the pleasure and the pain
 To ride upon this one way train
 And say that we've been able to provide
 For you and yours and me and mine
 So pardon me Mr. officer
 I have a little question for you
 Why can't we drink just to get drunk
 Why can't we smoke just to get high
 I'm motivated by a nine to five life
 Why do we run just to stand still
 Why can't we drink just to get drunk
 Why can't we smoke just to get high
 I'm motivated by a nine to five life
 Why do we work just to get by
 We're motivated by a 9 to 5 life
