Tumble outta bed 
And stumble to the kitchen 
Pour myself a cup of ambition 
Yawnin', stretchin', try [bad word] 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 wont seem to let me in 
I swear sometimes that man is out to get me 
Mmmmm... 

They let your dream 
Just a watch em shatter 
You're just a step 
On the boss mans a ladder 
But you got dream [bad word] never take away 

On the same boat 
With a lot of your friends 
Waitin' for the day 
Your [bad word] in 
And the tides gonna turn 
An 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 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 that I would daunt you 
It's a rich mans game 
No matter what they call it 
And you spend your life 
Puttin money in his wollet
