9 to 5 is eating us alive,
We're walking the road to nowhere
We promised ourselves a revolution
Is there any other place for us to go?
Or is there even anywhere that we know?
The thoughts in our heads are
Take a look outside and all I see
Is the back of the person in front of me,
How do they expect us to relate?
When they fill our heads with
lies and then have the cheek
To wonder why we grow to hate them
Is there any other place for us to go?
Or is there even anywhere that we know,
Except for downtown, downtown
All of the kids in our neighborhoods are
feeling sorry for themselves
You're in downtown, downtown
We'll make it two for one
Speed us out, that's fine, we're okay
Because we're made of steel,
And we can do it on our own
We're never alone, we're never alone
Is there any other place for us to go?
Or is there even anywhere that we know,
Except for downtown, downtown
All of the kids in our neighborhoods
are feeling sorry for themselves
Nothing you can do can make
