Home Free - 9 To 5 lyrics

Tumble outta bed and stumble to the kitchen
Pour myself a cup of ambition
Yawnin' and stretchin' 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 sometimes that man is out to get me

They 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
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 an' 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
You never get the credit (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

I said let's hunt shout
Maybe I need to break down let's break out
Everybody gonna get down now
I said, let's punch out
Maybe I need to break down lets bust out
Everybody gonna get down now

I said let's punch out
Maybe I need to break down let's cut out
Everybody gonna get down now
I said, let's punch out
Maybe I need to break down lets freak out
Everybody gonna get down now

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
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
Dream 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

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 sometimes that man is out to get me
