9 to 5 Lyrics by Smallpools

LOVETAP!

2015

[Verse 1]
You tasted the porridge
Ran before the grizzlies took your life
But you tried to ignore it
The end that reads the corners of your mind?

[Chorus]
All you said you wanted
Was some time alone to look over the Treaty of Versailles
But all you really wanted
Was a 9 to 5
To pay the bills on time

[Verse 2]
You dug from the storage
A tapestry that could not weave to scale
Shoes stuck to the mortgage
Like zebra mussels sticking to the ship

[Chorus]
All you said you wanted
Was some time alone to look over the Treaty of Versailles
But all you really wanted
Was a 9 to 5
To pay the bills on time

[Outro]
All you said you wanted
Was some time alone to reassess your life
All you really wanted
Was a 9 to 5
To pay the bills on time
