She's a working girl, in a modern world She's a working girl, in a modern world Tumble out of bed and stumble to the kitchen Pour myself a cup of ambition And yawn and stretch and try to come alive Jump in the shower and the blood starts pumping Out on the street the traffic starts jumping And 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 and they 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 would deserve a fair promotion Wanna move ahead but the boss won't seem to let me I swear sometimes that man is out to get me They let you dream just to watch 'em shatter You're just another step on the boss man's ladder But you got dreams he'll never take away You're in the same boat with a lot of your friends Waitin' for the day your ship will come in Then the tide's goin' to turn and it's all gonna go your way 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 and they never give you credit It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it Nine to five and 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 puttin' money in their wallet She's a working girl, in a modern world She's a working girl, in a modern world She's a working girl, in a modern world She's a working girl 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 and they never give you credit It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it Nine to five and 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 puttin' money in their wallet
