Nine to five, keeping it alive
(Work, work)
Staring at the screen, living in a dream
(So tired)
Copy, paste, delete, repeat
Shuffle down the hall, dragging my feet
(Zombie walk)
Coffee in the cup, but it's not enough
The boss is talking loud, acting real tough
(Blah, blah, blah)
But then I close my eyes for a minute
(Drifting away)
Imagine I'm not here, I'm not in it
Tropical island, sand on the floor
(So smooth)
Walking right out of the office door
(Bye, bye)
No more deadlines, no more stress
Wearing my Sunday best
(Chilling, chilling)
(Hello! How can I help you?)
Yes sir! Yes ma'am! Right away!
Have a super-duper wonderful day!
(Smile! Smile!)
The customer is king, the customer is right!
I will work for you all day and night!
(Happy to serve!)
But the paper is jammed inside the machine
(Beep beep)
My patience is getting a little too lean
(Tick tock)
The phone won't stop, the emails pile up
A crack is forming in my coffee cup
I, can't, take, it
Anymore!
(Snap!)
(Quit!)
(I quit!)
Take this job and shove it!
(Hey! Hey!)
I don't love it!
(No way!)
Throw the tie on the burning floor
Walking out through the spinning door!
Freedom! Freedom!
No more meetings
No more calls
(Silence)
Just me
