My mom and dad are always fighting
And it is getting very unexciting
To get a good job you need a proper schooling
Now who the hell do you think you're fooling

But it's not my place, oh no
No, it's not my place, no, no
No, it's not my, not my, not my place in the 9 to 5 world
And it's not my place in the 9 to 5 world
It's not my place in the 9 to 5 world
It's not my place in the 9 to 5 world

Hanging out with Lester bangs you all
And Phil Spector really has it all
Uncle Floyd shows on the T.V.
Jack Nicholson, Clint Eastwood, 10cc

But it's not my place, oh no
No, it's not my place, no, no
No, it's not my, not my, not my place in the 9 to 5 world
And it's not my place in the 9 to 5 world
It's not my place in the 9 to 5 world
It's not my place in the 9 to 5 world

Don't wanna be a working stiff, lose my identity
'Cause when it comes to working 9 to 5 there ain't not place for me
Ain't my reality to me

Vin Scelsa's on the radio
Ramones are hanging out in Kokomo
Roger Corman's on a talk show
With Allan Arkush and Stephen King, you know

But it's not my place, oh no
No, it's not my place, no, no
No, it's not my, not my, not my place in the 9 to 5 world
And it's not my place in the 9 to 5 world
It's not my place in the 9 to 5 world
It's not my place in the 9 to 5 world

And it's not my place, oh no
No, it's not my place, no, no
No, it's not my, not my, not my place in the 9 to 5 world
And it's not my place in the 9 to 5 world
It's not my place in the 9 to 5 world
It's not my place in the 9 to 5 world
