Tumble outta bed

Jump in the

Out

(And by jumpin' we mean stallin')
With folks
like me

Working in da 9 2 5,

make a
living
(If you can call it that)
Barely gettin'

(I think they call it scrapin')
it's all
taking and
no
giving

They
just use your
mind and they
never give you
credit
(The only credit you get is at 35%)

It's enough to drive
you crazy if you let
it
(So don't let it)

Da 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 (giggity)
but the boss won't
seem to let
Me
(What a 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

They
let you dream just to
watch them
shatter
(Hope you don't have to hold your bladder)
You're just a
step
A step on the boss man's
ladder
(Time for a career)
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?)
