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.
