Nine to five is eating us alive, eating us alive
We are not kings we are foot soldiers
Walking the road to nowhere
This is not the way it was supposed to be
We promised ourselves a revolution
But it ended up walking out in the cold again
Is there any other place for us to go
Or is there even anywhere that we know no, no, no no no
The thoughts in our heads are killin' us in our beds
Take a look outside and all I see
Is the back of the person in front of me y'know
How do they expect us to relate
When they fill our heads with lies
And then have the cheek to wonder why we grow to hate them
Is there any other place for us to go
Or is there even anywhere that we know no no
Except for downtown, downtown
All of the kids in our neighborhoods
Are feelin' sorry for themselves
Goin' downtown, downtown
Nothing you can do can make no difference
You make a difference
Oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh, ooh now now now
Nine to five has eaten us alive, spit us out that's fine
We're ok, we can roll with the punches any day because
We're made of steel and we're made of stone
We can do it on our own
We're never alone, we're never alone
Is there any other place for us to go
Or is there even anywhere that we know no no
Except for downtown, downtown
All of the kids in our neighborhoods
Are feelin' sorry for themselves
Goin' downtown, downtown
Nothing you can do can make no difference
You make a difference
