9 to 5 (朝九晚五) - OMP Allstars

Tumble outta bed

And I stumble to the kitchen

Pour myself a cup of ambition

And yawnin' stretchin' 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

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 won't seem to let me

I swear sometimes that man is out to get me

They let your dream

Just watch 'em 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

Waitin' for the day your ship 'll come in

And the tide's 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 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

Workin' 9 to 5 oh

What a way to make a livin'

Barely gettin' by

It's all takin' and no givin'

They just use you 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
