歌词
Tumble outta bed and stumble to the kitchen
Pour myself a cup of ambition
Yawning and stretching and try to come to life
Jump in the shower and the blood starts pumping
Out of the streets, the traffic starts jumping
With folks like me on the job from 9 to 5
Working 9 to 5
What a way to make a living
Barley 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 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 to watch them shatter
You're just a step on the boss man's ladder
But you for dreams he'll never take away
In the same boat with a lot of your friends
Waiting foe the day your ship will come in
And the tide's gonna turn and it's all gonna roll you away
Working 9 to 5
What a way to make a living
Barley getting by
It's all taking and no giving
They use your mind and you never get the 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, 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
Working 9 to 5
Oh, what a way to make a living
Barley getting by
It's all taking and no giving (whoa, oh)
They use your mind and you never get the credit (oohh, yeah)
It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it (yeah)
9 to 5, yeah, they got you where they want you (oh, whoa)
There's a better life and you think about it, don't you? (whoa, whoa)
It's a rich man's game
No matter what they call it
And you spend your life putting money in his wallet (whoa)
