	Story Behind the Song We've all had that crummy job with a crummy boss and have gotten fed up with the rat race. Lyrics I wanted to be free like they told me it could be I guess I didn't understand So I work from nine to five just to keep myself alive and put aside my meager plans (Chorus) Thank you for believing in a world that has a master plan I'd love to understand it all but I'm an average working man My boss thinks he's so cool he keeps me sticking to the rules and Friday goes so slow Still I show up every day just to make my meager pay If there's a better way, well, I don't know (Chorus) So I work, So I wait and something has to give I'm on time never late there's no need for debating in the way I live A choice of living in the street or having nothing left to eat when the rent is almost due and I'd love to have a day to read a book or see a play or other things I used to do (Chorus) So I work, So I wait, and something has to give I've got my nose against the stone just to pay off all the loans and keep my bankbook in the black and though I suffer I won't weep because the company I keep is busy bragging 'bout their heart attacks (Chorus) (c)2003 Jim Mulligan (c)2003 Raging Squat
