9 to 5

[Intro]

We are Lady Parts

Here's a little something we thought you might like

[Verse 1]

Tumble outta bed and stumble to the kitchen

Pour myself a cup of ambition

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 nine to five

[Chorus]

Working nine to five, 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

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]

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

On 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

[Chorus]

Working nine to five, what a way to make a living

Barely gettin’ by, it’s all taking and no giving

It's a rich man’s game no matter what they call it

And you spend your life putting money in his wallet
