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

B                     E  F#
But it's not my place oh-no
No it's not my place no no
B                    E   F#              E      F#
No it's not my-not my-not my place in the 9 to 5 world
B                             E    F#
And it's not my place in the 9 to 5 world
And it's not my place with 9 to 5 girl
B               E F#    E    F#
It's not my place in the 9 to 5 world

Hangin' 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...
