She works from 9 to 5
Crossing T's and dotting I's
The neon lights can't hide
That she's lost her shine
She said the mornings always taste like turpentine
She said understands the point of sacrifice
And so should I
[Chorus]
Paycut but it's a paycheck
Surviving is my best revenge
What hurts you once won't hurt you again
She meant what she said
Weathered lines across her face
Were an even trade
Fingerprints worn down from overwork
And under pay
At minimum wage
She said the overtime is worth these aches and pains
But is it worth the precious time that ticks away
Every second, every day
[Chorus]
She said whoa oh oh
She said whoa oh oh
Whoa oh oh
Whoa oh oh
For over half her life
She walked the straightest lines
She only wanted to provide
A future for
My brother and I
[Chorus]
For over half her life She works from 9 to 5 Crossing T's and dotting I's The neon lights can't hide That she's lost her shine She said the mornings always taste like turpentine She said understands the point of sacrifice And so should I [Chorus] Paycut but it's a paycheck Surviving is my best revenge What hurts you once won't hurt you again She meant what she said Weathered lines across her face Were an even trade Fingerprints worn down from overwork And under pay At minimum wage She said the overtime is worth these aches and pains But is it worth the precious time that ticks away Every second, every day [Chorus] She said whoa oh oh She said whoa oh oh Whoa oh oh Whoa oh oh For over half her life She walked the straightest lines She only wanted to provide A future for My brother and I [Chorus] Explain Request ×
