Yeah I worked nine to nine
But they gave me overtime
They said you gotta work harder
Or you'll never get out of the slime
It was the nine to nine blues
It was the nine to nine blues
You never win you only lose
It was the nine to nine blues

Yeah I worked for three years
Or was it twenty four?
It was blood sweat and tears
All my hopes were crushed on the floor
It was the nine to nine blues
It was the nine to nine blues
You never win you only lose
It was the nine to nine blues

Then one day God spoke to me
loud and clear
He said dust down your guitar
And get the hell out of here
It was the nine to nine blues
It was the nine to nine blues
You never win you only lose
It was the nine to nine blues

It was the nine to nine blues
It was the nine to nine blues
It was the nine to nine blues
It was the nine to nine blues
You never win you only lose
It was the nine to nine blues (repeat)
