I'm a worker I'm a working man from 9 to 5... 9 to 5
When I wake I think of mouths to feed, bills to pay, until I sleep
After working like a workingman to stay alive... stay alive
And I forget that I am sometime
Now I've been working for the minimum wage while my boss just gave himself a raise
And I see his brand new car on my daughter's hungry face
And I feel the hunger of the workingman working 9 to 5... 9 to 5
Knowing the sweat off my back that car did buy
I'm a worker I'm a working man from 9 to 5... 9 to 5
When I wake I think of mouths to feed, bills to pay, until I sleep
After working like a workingman to stay alive... stay alive
And I forget that I am sometime
Well I don't mind working listen to what I mean
There's a difference between work and slavery
I just want the fruits of my labor
To come back to me
I'm a worker I'm a working man from 9 to 5... 9 to 5
When I wake I think of mouths to feed, bills to pay, until I sleep
After working like a workingman to stay alive... stay alive
And I forget that I am sometime
