The masters slave at their occupations Surrender to their boss and all of his dictation Never questioning their situation As each day flies on by so does their life's duration You never ask why, you've got a career It's nine to five, year after year Is there a point behind mindless determination? Is there a goal behind all of the aggravation? It's labeled success, it seems like sheer frustration Like running a race, that's got no destination You never ask why, you've got a career It's nine to five, year after year Don't be busy doing nothing! So slow it down Work like a dog, beg for your free The money gained is used to maintain things you don't need You desire to aquire all that you see You're getting more entangled Though you thought that you'd be free You never ask why, you've got a career But there is a reason why we're here Don't be busy doing nothing!
