Verse 1:
B
  So they say there's
                     F#
a better way to make it
B
  A 9 to 5 is the only
                E
way you'll make it
B
  But I don't know if I
                        F#
can take another day of this
B
  Working overtime to
                 F#
save up for tomorrow
B
  While all their promises
                       E
keep ringing out so hollow
B
  Now they're taking all
                      F#
the bonuses away from me
and I've spent-


Refrain:

picking up the pieces
E
  trying to get ahead

Verse 2:
B
  It's all the same as
                  F#
we get a little older
B
  Nowhere to go and too
                   E
late to start all over
B
  You're just a number
when you're working
             F#
for the company
B
  So play along while
they rave about the stock
F#   B
price And pretty soon
you'll be buying into their
E   B
lies Conformity is now
                        F#
rewarded with the guarantee
That I'll spend-

Bridge:
E
  Nowhere to run to and
now there's nothing
B/Eb
that will make
                C#m

Once you know that

important as the
