Lyrics

[Verse 1] So they say there's a better way to make it A nine to five 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 [Pre-Chorus] And 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 [Chorus] 'Cause it's been five years of medications Five years of accusations Five years enslaved in misery Five years of dedication Five years of aggravation Five years enslaved in misery [Verse 2] 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 [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 'Cause it's been five years of medications Five years of accusations Five years enslaved in misery Five years of dedication Five years of aggravation Five years enslaved in misery [Bridge] 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 [Chorus] Five years of medications Five years of accusations Five years enslaved in misery Five years of dedication Five years of aggravation Five years enslaved in misery [Outro] Five years, five years, five years, five years Five years enslaved in misery
