I half expect to be in a hearse but what am I supposed to do if this is the only job that I can pursue. So I gotta fight it! Feel ignited and stand steadfast as I except… [Chorus] It’s the… NINE TO FIVE BLUES! What have I got to lose. It’s the,,, NINE TO FIVE BLUES! Drown it out with smoke and booze It’s the… NINE TO FIVE BLUES! And I got work to do [Verse] Lifting! Pressing! Shifting! Messing! Ooooh! We got eight hours on the clock, and there’s no way they’d let us stop. There’s equal parts sweat and blood on the ground and the factory is a deafening sound. Every chain and every hook, could break you if you didn’t look. because the machines here aren’t built to standard despite us being the ones getting reprimanded. [Verse] [more somber] Ugh. I’m suffering. (suffering) This isn’t right. They just want a paycheque! And I cannot fight… Payed up with peanuts. Or more like their shells. I just want to scream. I just want to yell!

And I got work to do [musical interlude] [musical interlude] [Chorus] It’s the… NINE TO FIVE BLUES! What have I got to lose. It’s the,,, NINE TO FIVE BLUES! Drown it out with smoke and booze It’s the… NINE TO FIVE BLUES! And I got work to do [fade out] [end]
