Everyone a toast please
Lift up your glass
For a soon to be star who take nobody's crap
Rock the big screen
Date celebrities
We know you will
Mom hands you a rolling stone
And says this'll be you
As you board a bus bound for Hollywood
Get some head shots
And a desk job to pay the bills
But everybody wakes up once in a while
And they notice their hopes might be just out of sight
But you can't give it up
Not on this
Not on your one true love
Struggling to keep the vision alive
When the dreamer's working 9 to 5
When the dreamer's working 9 to 5
The dreamer's working 9 to 5
Well the years go by
And the debt piles up
Pouring down into a half empty cup
Sick of every day
Sending resumes with no response
Cause you're the next big thing
Nobody's found
Jumping through hoops just to smash to the ground
And the boss is calling
It's the same old song
Cause everybody wakes up once in a while
And they notice their hopes might be just out of sight
But you can't give it up
Not on this
Not on your one true love
Struggling to keep the vision alive
When the dreamer's working 9 to 5
When the dreamer's working 9 to 5
When the dreamer's working 9 to 5
Every lunch break just sitting alone
Reading that Rolling Stone
Wondering what they'd say if they could see you back home
Cause everybody wakes up once in a while
And they notice their hopes might be just out of sight
But you can't give it up
Not on this
Not on your one true love
Struggling to keep the vision alive
When the dreamer's working 9 to 5
When the dreamer's working 9 to 5
When the dreamer's working 9 to 5
9 to 5
When the dreamer's working 9 to 5
