Nine to Five
[1]Tumble outta bed and I stumble to the kitchen [4]Pour myself a cup of ambition
[1]Yawn and stretch and try to come to [5]life
[1]Jump in the shower and the blood starts pumpin’ [4]Out on the street the traffic starts jumpin’ With [1]folks like me on the [5]job from nine to [1]five
Workin’ [4]nine to five, what a way to make a livin’
Barely [1]gettin’ by, it’s all takin’ and no givin’
They just [4]use your mind and they never give you credit
It’s [2]enough to drive you [5]crazy if you let it
[4]Nine to five, for service and devotion
You would [1]think that I would deserve a fat promotion
Want to [4]move ahead but the boss won’t seem to let me
I [2]swear sometimes that man is [5]out to get me!
They [1]let you dream just to watch ’em shatter You’re [4]just a step on the boss-man’s ladder
But [1]you got dreams he’ll never take a[5]way
You’re [1]in the same boat with a lotta your friends [4]Waitin’ for the day your ship’ll come in An’ the [1]tide’s gonna turn and it’s [5]all gonna roll your [1]way
Workin’ [4]nine to five, what a way to make a livin’
Barely [1]gettin’ by, it’s all takin’ and no givin’
They just [4]use your mind and they never give you credit
It’s [2]enough to drive you [5]crazy if you let it
[4]Nine to five, yeah they got you where they want you
There’s a [1]better life, and you dream about it, don’t you?
It’s a [4]rich man’s game no matter what they call it
And you [2]spend your life puttin’ [5]money in his wallet
[4]Nine to five, working [1]nine to five[!]
