[Verse] Clock ticks slow but the world spins fast Another email another task My coffee’s cold but I hold my ground Feet on the floor head spinning around [Chorus] 9 to 5 24 hours a day Work don’t stop bills don’t go away 9 to 5 24 hours a day Living for the weekend but it’s Monday anyway [Verse 2] Paper stacks higher than my self-esteem Chasing deadlines killing dreams Boss says smile but my jaw’s on strike Living for the paycheck not the life I like [Prechorus] I see the sun but I can’t feel its heat Time’s a thief stealing every heartbeat [Chorus] 9 to 5 24 hours a day Round and round in the hamster’s play 9 to 5 24 hours a day Dreams on pause gotta find my way [Bridge] Spin the wheel round the grindstone turns A spark in my chest but the fire won’t burn Will I break free will I find my groove Or keep dancing to the same old moves
