Lyrics
Workin I?m working nine to five
My god I?m hardly alive
My fingers to the bone
I?m barley holding on
Verse 1
I can feel the weight of the world on my shoulders
Boss man says I can?t have no overtime
It?s getting close to the end of month can you help me?
Don?t have a cent to my name
But I?m gonna get what?s mine
Workin Has life just passed me by
Am I just towing the line
Can?t get out of the red
Stress is going right to my head
Verse 2
The bills keep coming and I feel I?m working for nothing
I break my back to give my money away
I?m getting tired of always living for the weekend
But without my pay, I?m a month away
From living on the streets again
Workin I?m working nine to five
My god I?m hardly alive
My fingers to the bone
I?m barley holding on
Don?t want to work, don?t want to work for you no more
Don?t want to work, don?t want to work my life away
