Emily Ann Roberts - 9 to 5 lyrics
[Emily Ann Roberts - 9 to 5 lyrics]
Tumble outta bed and I stumble to the kitchen
Pour myself a cup of ambition
And yawn and stretch' and try to come to life
Jump in the shower and
The blood starts pumpin' out on the streets
The traffic starts jumpin'
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 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
Won't seem to let me
I swear somеtimes that man is out to get me
Thеy let you dream just to watch them shatter
You're just a step on the boss man's ladder
But you got dreams he'll never take away
You're in the same boat with
A lot of your friends
Waiting for the day your ship will 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 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 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
Tumble outta bed and I stumble to the kitchen
Pour myself a cup of ambition
And yawn and stretch' and try to come to life
Jump in the shower and
The blood starts pumpin' out on the streets
The traffic starts jumpin'
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 just use your mind and
They'll never give you credit
It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it
9 to 5, hey for service and devotion
You would 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
9 to 5, what a way to make a living
Barely gettin' by
It's all taking and no giving
They just use your mind and
They never give you credit
It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it
Pour myself a cup of ambition
And yawn and stretch' and try to come to life
Jump in the shower and
The blood starts pumpin' out on the streets
The traffic starts jumpin'
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
