"9 To 5" lyrics - BRANDY CLARK

[Jennifer Nettles:]
Tumble outta bed
And I stumble in the kitchen
Pour myself a cup of ambition
And 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'
For folks like me on the job from nine to five

Workin' nine to five
What a way to make a livin'
Barely gettin' by
It's all takin' and no givin'
You just use your mind
And they'll never give you credit
It's enough to drive you
Crazy if you let it

Nine to five
For service and devotion
You would think that I
Should deserve a fat promotion
It's a move ahead
But the boss won't seem to let me
I swear sometimes that man is
Out to get me, hmmm

[Brandy Clark:]
They let you dream
Just to watch 'em shatter
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
[Both:]
And it's all gonna roll you away

[Brandy Clark:]
Workin' nine to five
What a way to make livin'
Barely gettin' by
It's all takin' and no givin'
They just use your mind
But they never give you credit
It's enough to drive you
Crazy if you let it

[Jennifer Nettles:]
Nine to five
Yeah, they got you were 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

[Jennifer Nettles:]
Nine to five
Nine to five
Nine to five
Nine to five
