So they say there's a better way to make it



A 9 to 5 is the only way you'll make it



But I don't know if I can take another day of this



Working overtime to save up for tomorrow



While all their promises keep ringing out so hollow



Now they're taking all the bonuses away from me



I've spent a fucking lifetime picking up the pieces



I never even wanted this at all anyway



Cuz it's been 5 years of medications



5 years of accusations



5 years enslaved in misery



5 years of dedication



5 years of aggravation



5 years enslaved in misery



It's all the same as we get a little older



Nowhere to go and too late to start all over



You're just a number when you're working for the company



So play along while they rave about the stock price



And pretty soon you'll be buying into their lies



Conformity is now rewarded with the guarantee



That I'll spend a fucking lifetime picking up the pieces



I never even wanted this at all anyway



Nowhere to run to and now there's nothing



that will make everything be alright



Once you know that you're never as important as the bottom line
