[Verse] Clock ticking Alarm ringing Start of another day Sit in traffic Same old pattern Time just slips away Office life Full of strife I'm feeling so confined I'm counting down the hours But there's no peace of mind [Verse 2] Boss yells Deadlines looming Pressure closing in Stuck in this cubicle I start to lose my grin The nine to five routine It's sucking out my soul I daydream about my passions A life I can control [Chorus] I got them 9 to 5 blues I'm singing the same old tune Feeling trapped and unsatisfied I wanna break out soon The corporate world ain't got no heart It's tearing me apart I'm gonna find my own path Find a brand-new start [Verse] Clock ticking Alarm ringing Start of another day Sit in traffic Same old pattern Time just slips away Office life Full of strife I'm feeling so confined I'm counting down the hours But there's no peace of mind [Verse 2] Boss yells Deadlines looming Pressure closing in Stuck in this cubicle I start to lose my grin [Verse] Wake up in the morning Alarm clock ringing loud Gotta drag myself out of my cozy bed and face the crowd Put on my uniform Tie that necktie tight But deep down I'm yearning for the stars and moonlight Every day is the same Doing the same old grind Feeling stuck in this cycle Losing my peace of mind Counting down the hours till I can finally break free Oh These 9 to 5 blues They're getting the best of me [Verse 2] The boss is always breathing down my neck No time for inspiration No time to reflect I'm just a pawn in this game A cog in the machine Dreaming of a life where I can be more than routine
