(I'm not ready for the) Nine to five Wasted dreams and wasted lives No justice no empathy No thrill slow kill drains like a leech Backs are gonna break for a halfass wage While the suits get laid and overpaid Will you count the days gone by as time well spent? A dagger through the heart to keep your collar clean and pay the rent Drink up, friends, the night is young And the morning's rarely any fun There's a gut to fill and a head to kill Whored out to pay the cable bill Will you count the days gone by as time well spent? A dagger through the heart to keep your collar clean and pay the fucking rent (I'm not ready for the) Nine to five Wasted dreams and wasted lives Just another spot of blood on my collar Just another nail in your coffin lid Just another gob in the face of what might have been How short did we sell ourselves How high your asking price? Now you'll go for free Another mouth to feed another heart to bleed No room no dime no hour to spare No fuel left to fucking care Will you count the days gone by as time well spent? A dagger through the heart to pay your rent A bullet to the brain for credit spent Parasite economy Bleeding you and bleeding me They've got us dying on our knees
