9 to 5:
suit-and-tie corporation business man
going to the bar again
Day to day, nothing's changed
Got to have that great escape, man!
Money well spent: the company plan

But you are much better than this
You are well aware that someday it will gone
It won't be there for long
What will we miss?
All this time your searching for yourself,
but you found somebody else

He knows her name, she don't know his
Favors rendered for his money, you know what she does with it
Cash is made Big business
contributing to our downfall and no one expected it

Your whole life; unsatisfied at home,
your wife and kids, knowing not where Daddy's been
That common goal is so far out of reach:
contentment's something we all seek

And you are much better than this
and I fear you're going about this all so wrong
I know it won't be long What will we miss?
All this time you're searching for yourself,
but you found somebody else

What do we know? Where to go?

Money from the top goes right down in the drain
Our major corporations support the American dream
The workmen buy the whores, the strippers buy the drugs
Now our top dollars are being pissed out or thrown up
Well thank you very much, I really needed that
I'll see you really soon, I'm very glad we met
Needless to say, the guy's got a real bad habit
But it fuels the economy, so I'm glad he had it

You are much better than this
