I jump out of bed and stumble to the kitchen , pour myself a cup of ambition
And yawn and stretch and try to come to life..........
I jump in the shower and the blood starts pumping , out in the street the traffic starts jumping - it's 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 talking and no giving -
They just use your mind and they never givingb 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 better promotion-
trying to move ahead but the boss don'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 in the same boat with a lot of your friends, watching for the day your ship will come in
and the tide's gonna turn and it's all gonna roll your way !
9 to 5 - they've 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
