Everyone a toast please Lift up your gla** 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
