about

I wrote this song after having/hating my first job while I was very afraid that I would end up working somewhere I hated for my entire life.

lyrics

Work every day from nine to five
Do this for your entire life
Losing my mind life gets dull
Makes me want to bash in my skull

Spend life as a slave work until the grave

(CHORUS)
Work your fingers to the bone but what the hell is it for?
Breaking your back until your whole body's sore
Nose to the grind until you hit the floor
But when it's over, you'll still be poor
YOU'LL STILL BE POOR

Work every day from nine to five
Do this for your entire life
Losing my mind life gets dull
Makes me want to bash in my skull
Spend all your money paying back the bank
That seems to me like a cruel prank
Never get ahead; always dragged behind
This cruel system leaves us in a bind

No matter what we try we will pay until we die!

(CHORUS)
Work your fingers to the bone but what the hell is it for?
Breaking your back until your whole body's sore
Nose to the grind until you hit the floor
But when it's over, you'll still be poor
YOU'LL STILL BE POOR

Spend life as a slave
Work until the grave X4
