ba ba bum ba ba bum bum bum ba ba bum ba ba bum bum bum ba ba bum ba ba bum bum bum 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) ba ba bum baba bum bum bum 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) ba ba bum baba bum bum bum 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?) skididy boochalasta rassem bobo bop Working 9 2 5, what a way to make a living (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) badabadum It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it 9 2 5, yeah, (The LaMOrinda Corridor) ba ba bum baba bum bum bum they got you where they want you (In the valley) badabadum There's a better life and you think about it don't you It's a rich man's game no matter what they call it (They call it Blackhawk) babababa bo duh duh doom And you spend your life putting money in his wallet. (In Danville in the 9 2 5) ba ba ba ba bah bum
