9 to 5
by Home Free
Tumble outta bed
And stumble to the kitchen
Pour myself a cup of ambition
Yawnin', stretchin', try to come to life
Jump in the shower
And the blood starts pumpin'
Out on the streets
The traffic starts jumpin'
And folks like me on the job from 9 to 5
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 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 in
I swear sometimes that dude is out to get me
Mmmm... They get out to get me
Oh yeah
They let your dream
Just a' watch 'em shatter
You're just a step
On the boss man's ladder
But you got dream he'll never take away (take away)
Dream 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 they never give you credit
It's enough to drive you
Crazy if you let it
9 to 5, yeah, they got you where they want you
There's a better life
And you think about it, dont'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
I said let's punch out
Maybe I need a break down
Let's break out
Everybody gonna get down
I said let's punch out
Maybe I need a break down
Let's last out
Everybody gonna get down
I said let's punch out
Maybe I need a break down
Let's cut out
Everybody gonna get down
I said let's punch out
Maybe I need a break down
Let's freak out
Everybody gonna get down
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 they never give you credit
It's enough to drive you
Crazy if you let it
9 to 5, yeah, they got you where they want you
There's a better life
And you dream about it, dont't you
It's a rich man's game
No matter what they call it
And you spend your life
