9 to 5
Tumble out of bed and stumble to the kitchen
Pour myself a cup of ambition
Yawn and stretch and try to come to life
Jump in the shower and the blood starts pumping
Out on the street the traffic starts thumping
With folks like me on the job from 9 to 5
Working 9 to 5, what a way to make a living
Barely getting by, it's all taking and no giving
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'd think that I would deserve a fat promotion
Want to move ahead but the boss won't seem to let me
I swear sometimes that man is out to get me
They let you dream just to watch them shatter
You're just a step on the boss-man's ladder
But you've got dreams they'll never take away
You're in the same boat with a lot of your friends
Waiting for the day your ship will come in
And the tide's gonna turn and it's all gonna roll your way
Working 9 to 5, what a way to make a living
Barely getting by, it's all taking and no giving
They just use your mind, you never get the credit
It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it
9 to 5, they got you where they want you
There's a better life, and you dream 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
Pour myself a cup of ambition
Yawn and stretch and try to come to life
Jump in the shower and the blood starts pumping
Out on the street the traffic starts thumping
With folks like me on the job from 9 to 5
Working 9 to 5, what a way to make a living
Barely getting by, it's all taking and no giving
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'd think that I would deserve a fat promotion
Want to move ahead but the boss won't seem to let me
I swear sometimes that man is out to get me
They let you dream just to watch them shatter
You're just a step on the boss-man's ladder
But you've got dreams they'll never take away
You're in the same boat with a lot of your friends
Waiting for the day your ship will come in
And the tide's gonna turn and it's all gonna roll your way
Working 9 to 5, what a way to make a living
Barely getting by, it's all taking and no giving
They just use your mind, you never get the credit
It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it
9 to 5, they got you where they want you
There's a better life, and you dream 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
