it's keeping me alive doin' nine to five
and i ain't got nothin to show
pretty soon i'll be leavin'
with the wages i'm receivin'
but i know it's gonna be all right
we got some money to spend tonight
pick me up at the station
have a meal and a shower and a change of clothes
i can't afford a vacation
but i can take the strain
long as i can be with you
find a way to burn it as quickly as i earn it
seven long years for the same corporation
and i ain't got nothin' to show
and tonight when i'm leavin' i'll be just breakin' even
but i know it's gonna be all right
i shake off my blues when you put on your shoes
we got some money to spend tonight
i don't wanna stand here and sound accusin'
everybody does their share of losin'
if i'm gonna lose it i might as well be doin' it right
pick me up at the station
have a meal and a shower and a change of clothes
i can't afford a vacation
but i can take the strain
long as i can be with you
find a way to burn it as quickly as i earn it
it's keepin' me alive doin' nine to five
and i ain't got nothin' to show
and tonight when i'm leavin' i'll be just breakin' even
but i know it's gonna be all right
we got some money to spend tonight
