Nine To Five

tumble out of bed and stumble to the kitchen
pour myself a cup of ambition
yawning stretching trying to come to life
jump in the shower the blood starts pumping
out on the streets the traffic starts jumping
folks like me on the job from nine to five

working nine to five
what a way to make a living
barely getting by
it`s all taking and no giving
they just use your mind
then they never give you credit
it`s enough to drive you crazy
if you let it

they let you dream just to watch them shatter
you`re just a step on the bossman`s ladder
but you got dreams he`ll never take away
in the same boat with a lot of your friends
waiting for the day your ship will come in
the tide`s gonna turn and it`s all gonna roll you away

working nine to five
what a way to make a living
barely getting by
it`s all taking and no giving
they just use your mind
then they never give you credit
it`s enough to drive you crazy
if you let it
