Текст песни Nine To Five, Dolly Parton
|
|
pour myself a cup of ambition, and yawn, and stretch, and try to come to life. Jump in the shower, and the blood starts pumping; out on the street, the traffic starts jumping, with folks like me on the job from nine to five. Chorus: 1,3,5. 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 (depending on verse) "they never give you" or "you never get the" credit; it s enough to drive you crazy, if you let it. Verse 2 They let you dream just to watch them shatter; You re just a step on the boss man s ladder, But you ve 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, and it s all gonna roll your way. Chorus: 2 Nine to five, for service and devotion; you would think that I would deserve a fair promotion; want to move ahead, but the boss won t seem to let me. I swear some-times, that man is out to get me. Chorus: 4,6. Nine to five, they ve got you where 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 pocket. |
