The Yawpers
9 to 5
You set out of your nightmare, and promised everyone
There was no roundtrip ticket, there was no coming home
You went to the congregation, convinced no one of your worth
You walked across the nations, still found no place on earth
Take the freedom of a 9 to 5
You told it to your mother, you told it to your pa
But no oneâs going to come save you when youâre strung out in Wichita
Youâve been so many places, but you havenât done a thing
Stood in judgment of the chorus, you couldnât even sing
Take the freedom of a 9 to 5
