9 to 5
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 from 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
WORK
steal sem paper
drink sem coffee
watch the drain water fall,
write this.
these old men
through the window of the bakery on Cherokee
time is beating the shit out of them.
you can see it in their eyebrows
the way they turn and walking
look like time
is beating the shit out of them.
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
The working class and the employing class have nothing in common. There can be no peace so long as hunger and want are found among millions of the working people and the few, who make up the employing class, have all the good things of life. Between these two classes a struggle must go on until the workers of the world organize as a class, take possession of the means of production, abolish the wage system, and live in harmony with the Earth. www.iww.org UNITE & FIGHT!
