Lyrics

The whistle blows each morning 'bout a quarter to eight
Just another day in the life of the rat race
I owe...I owe...So it's off to work I go


I work my finger to the bone in the same old grind
It's hell-on-earth work on the factory line
There's no end in sight to the life I've come to know


I'm in the work-a-day world
I'm in the work-a-day world
I work hard for the dollar
Makes a man wanna scream and holler
It's the work-a-day world for me


I try to get ahead but I'm always running behind
This dog-eat-dog life is driving me out of my mind
I may have a heart but the almighty bucks got my soul


I'm in the work-a-day world
I'm in the work-a-day world
I work hard for the dollar
Makes a man wanna scream and holler
It's the work-a-day world for me


My boss, "This is your life, you should learn to love it"
I'd like to tell them all to take this job and shove it
Sometimes I feel like just giving up or just giving in
It tough in the nine-to-five world I'm living in
