9 To 5

You tasted the porridge

And ran before the grizzlies took your life

But you tried to ignore it

The yen that wreathes the corners of your mind

All you said you wanted

Was some time alone to look over the Treaty Of Versailles

But all you really wanted

Was a 9 to 5

To pay the bills on time

You dug from the storage

A tapestry they could not weave to scale

Your shoes stuck to the mortgage

Like zebra muscles sticking to the shale

All you said you wanted

Was some time alone to look over the Treaty Of Versailles

But all you really wanted

Was a 9 to 5

To pay the bills on time

To pay the bills on time

All you said you wanted

Was some time alone to reassess your life

All you really wanted

Was a 9 to 5

To pay the bills on time
