Tumble out of bed, and I stumble to the kitchen. Pour myself a cup of ambition And yawning, stretching, trying to come to life. Jump in the shower, the blood starts pumping Out on the street, the traffic starts jumping And folks like me On the job from 9 to 5. Chorus: Working 9 to 5, what a way to make a living, barely Getting 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.
