Day Job -

Now it’s time to get the whole thing started

Shoes are polished and your hair is parted

Spent the weekend wondering where the week went

Scheming up a better way to make rent

Punch the clock (9 to 5)

9 to 5, then you make some overtime (5 to 9)

5 to 9, it’s a swindle it’s a fraud (it's a job)

It’s a job, it’s a living it’s a life (it's a life)

It’s a life

Obligations

Eight straight hours stuck here pulling punches

Got no time for breakfast brown bag lunches

Can’t fit dignity into your wallet

Can’t buy piece of mind with empty pockets

I’m dreaming dreams so far away

I never knew the price I’d pay

The price I’d pay

To not fade away

Still don’t know just how the whole thing started

End up deep in debt and heavy-hearted

Spend a lifetime wondering where the weeks went

Gotta be a better way to make rent

Punch the clock (9 to 5)

9 to 5, then you make some overtime (5 to 9)

5 to 9, it’s a living compromise (get in line)

Get in line, it’s the best years of your life (it's your life)

It’s your life
