I get no weekend working my nine-to-five
That’s 9pm to 5am in this shitty little dive
Beer and an omelette at 7 in the morning
No one gave my liver a god damn warning
My friends all make ends meet just putting in their time
Not relying on someone else to pad their bottom line
Maybe it’s time to grow up and make some sort of change
A job in the office just sounds so fucking strange

Weight in my pockets working in the office
Waking up early for that meeting at 8
Sitting in front of the computer seeing what’s online
Here from 9-5 making good use of my time
Can't go in hungover, my twenties are over
Why did I do this to myself?
I miss getting wasted on random weeknights
Staying out late getting into bar fights

Habits and routine I’m in bed by 9:15
Only 25 and barely half alive
Put on my suit and tie pretend to be human til Friday night
I’ll only drink the koolaid if it’s really suicide
Sneaking to my cube an hour late chugging coffee just to stay sane
working for someone else does nothing for myself
The boss checks out early expects us to stay late
Fuck that I’m salary I’ll still get paid

Weight in my pockets working in the office
Waking up early for that meeting at 8
Sitting in front of the computer seeing what’s online
Here from 9-5 making good use of my time
Can't go in hungover, my twenties are over
Why did I do this to myself?
I miss getting wasted on random weeknights
Staying out late getting into bar fights

Fuck corporate bullshit and food service too
My american dream is just to have
a chance at a better life not just scraping by
I only feel alive when we’re on stage

Weight in my pockets working in the office
Waking up early for that meeting at 8
Sitting in front of the computer seeing what’s online
Here from 9-5 making good use of my time
Can't go in hungover, my twenties are over
Why did I do this to myself?
I miss getting wasted on random weeknights
Staying out late getting into bar fights
