5 Years

So they say there's a better way to make it A 9 to 5 is the only way you'll make it But I don't know if I can take another day of this Working overtime to save up for tomorrow While all their promises keep ringing out so hollow Now they're taking all the bonuses away from me I've spent a fucking lifetime picking up the pieces trying to get ahead but I'm still defeated I never even wanted this at all anyway Cuz it's been 5 years of medications 5 years of accusations 5 years enslaved in misery 5 years of dedication 5 years of aggravation 5 years enslaved in misery It's all the same as we get a little older Nowhere to go and too late to start all over You're just a number when you're working for the company So play along while they rave about the stock price And pretty soon you'll be buying into their lies Conformity is now rewarded with the guarantee That I'll spend a fucking lifetime picking up the pieces Trying to get ahead but I'm still defeated I never even wanted this at all anyway Cuz it's been 5 years of medications 5 years of accusations 5 years enslaved in misery 5 years of dedication 5 years of aggravation 5 years enslaved in misery Nowhere to run to and now there's nothing that will make everything be alright Once you know that you're never as important as the bottom line (Cuz it's been) 5 years of medications 5 years of accusations 5 years enslaved in misery 5 years of dedication 5 years of aggravation 5 years enslaved in misery 5 years 5 years 5 years 5 years 5 years enslaved in misery
