Answering phones and dictating letters Making decisions that affect no one Stuck in the office from nine until five Life is so incredibly dull Working from nine to five Oh nine to five, nine to five Working from nine to five And time goes by The hours tick away First seconds Then minutes Then hours into days Each day Each week Seems just like any other
All work No play It's just another day He's caught in a ma** of computerised trivia Deciphering data for mechanical minds He's lost in the paperwork and up to his eyes He's checking a list that's been checked out before And he's starting to lose his mind Oh nine to five, nine to five Working from nine to five (repeat)
