Lyrics: Thomas M.R. Music: Opus, publishing by Opus Music Edition
I spend life working my fingers to the bone
Don't ring my number
'Cause I won't be home
I've got a dream but it's hard to survive
When you're working from 9 to 5
Hey now, hey now
Work it hard - gonna work it hard
Hey now, hey now
Working 9 to 5 just to survive
Anything to keep my dream alive
I won't give up, I won't compromise
I won't give in till the day I die
I won't give up - you can't hypnotize
I won't give in, I won't compromise
I know my future's like a rollin' stone
It will keep on rolling till it brings one home
Don't tell me things aint what they used to be
I keep on dreamin' in what I believe
Hey now, hey now
Work it hard - gonna work it hard
Hey now, hey now
Working 9 to 5 just to survive
Anything to keep my dream alive
I won't give up, I won't compromise
I won't give in till the day I die
I won't give up - you can't hypnotize
I won't give in, I won't compromise
Hey now, hey now
