Pour myself a cup of ambition
And yawn and stretch and try to come to life
Jump in the shower and the blood starts pumping
Out on the street 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
Barely gettin' by, it's all taking and no giving
They'll just use your mind and they never give you credit
It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it
9 to 5 full service and devotion
You'd 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
They let you dream just to let them shatter
You're just a step on the boss man's ladder
But you've got dreams he'll never take away
You're in the same boat with a lot of your friends
Waitin' for the day your ship'll come in
And the tide's gonna turn and it's all gonna roll your way
Working 9 to 5, what a way to make a living
Barely gettin' by, it's all taking and no giving
They'll just use your mind and they never give you 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 man's game no matter what they call it
And you spend your life puttin' money in his wallet
Working 9 to 5, what a way to make a living
Barely gettin' by, it's all taking and no giving
They'll just use your mind and they never give you credit
It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it
