tumble out of bed and stumble to the kitchen   pour myself a cup of ambition   yawning stretching trying to come to life   jump in the shower the blood starts pumping   out on the streets the traffic starts jumping   folks like me on the job from nine to five      working nine to five   what a way to make a living   barely getting by   it`s all taking and no giving   they just use your mind   then they never give you credit   it`s enough to drive you crazy   if you let it      they let you dream just to watch them shatter   you`re just a step on the bossman`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   the tide`s gonna turn and it`s all gonna roll you away      working nine to five   what a way to make a living   barely getting by   it`s all taking and no giving   they just use your mind   then they never give you credit   it`s enough to drive you crazy   if you let it      you spend the rest of your life putting money in his pocket
