Tumble outta bed
and stumble to the
kitchen
(That's where we keep the food)
babababa bo duh duh doom
Pour myself a cup
of ambition
(That's coffee y'all)
Yawnin'
stretchin' and try to come
to life
(Never get enough sleep)

Jump in the
shower and the blood
starts pumpin'
(Thank God)
Out
on the
streets, the traffic starts
jumpin'
(And by jumpin' we mean stallin')
With folks
like me
on the job from
9 2 5
(That's the area code from the Tri-Valley)
ba ba bum baba bum bum bum
Working 9 2 5,
badabadum
what a way to
make a
living
(If you can call it that)
Barely gettin'
by,
(I think they call it scrapin')
it's all
taking and
no
giving
badabadum
They
just use your
mind and they
never give you
credit
(The credit you can get is at 35%)
badabadum
It's enough to drive
you crazy if you let
it
(So don't let it)

9 2 5, 4 service and
devotion
(A dedicated work ethic)
You would think
that I would
deserve a fair
promotion
(I'd settle for an unfair one)
Want to move
a head but the boss won't
seem to let
Me
(That sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical, bigot)
badabadum
I swear sometimes that
man is out
to get
me
(And who would believe me)
skididy boochalasta rassem bobo bop
Mmmmm...
They
let you dream just to
watch them
shatter
(Sadistic pig)
You're just a
step on the boss man's
ladder
(Hope you don't have to hold your bladder)
But you got
dreams he'll never take
away
(Keep them high up the career ladder)
In the same
boat with a lot of your
friends
(More unethical management types)
Waiting for the
day your ship will come
in
(Soon it'll be making another run)
And the tide's gonna
turn an' it's all gonna roll you
away
(Roll away where?)

Working 9 2 5,

(Pleasanton)
Barely gettin'
by,
(Livermore)
it's all
taking and no
giving
(Dublin)
They just use your
mind and you never get the
credit
(Like Concord and Antioch)

It's enough to drive
you crazy if you let
it
9 2 5, yeah,

There's a better
life and you think

It's a rich man's
game no
