Lyrics
Now you've got people pushing and people shoving
You're on your way to work
It's 9 to 5 to survive
Ain't no time to beg
You've got no name, no face
You're just a simple number
You better stop before it's too late
There won't be any slumber
You gotta work
Got no time to play
You gotta work
Listen to what I'm saying
You gotta work
Quit that job today
You gotta work
There must be a better way
Nasty folk it ain't no joke
In the mainstay of your life
Well they get under your skin the minute they can
Just to make you take the knife
Stand up be strong your life's in your command
Well you need a friend to get ahead
Don't bend to their demands
You gotta work
Got no time to play
You gotta work
You listen to what I say
You gotta work
Quit that job today
You gotta work
There must be a better way
Why do I work night and day
Bust my ass for a dollar a day
No dough to lay away this time
I need a break I'll take vacation
Boss said no more to be patient
Year on year I'm going nowhere fast
You gotta work
Got no time to play
You gotta work
Won't you listen to what I say
You gotta work
Quit that job today
You gotta work
There must be a better way
Well the rent is due the kids need girls
I like to go out sometime
Don't you think you could fix it
Instead of being so occupied
You just don't care beware
You won't have any lover
I do with you, your mind is screwed
Wait till I tell your mother
You gotta work
Got no time to play
You gotta work
Listen to what I say
You gotta work
Quit that job today
You gotta work
There must be a better way
You gotta work
Got no time to play
You gotta work
Listen to what I say
You gotta work
Quit that job today
You gotta work
There must be a better way
