Working 60 hours a week and getting nowhere
No joy and not much time for sleep
It's happiness that they seek but it's miles from anywhere
Never thought a climb to to the top would be this steep
They want to leave this life behind
Get away from the nine to five
Pack up and leave the daily grind
They need a simple kind of life
So many deadlines to meet not enough hours in a day
They're told play their cards right, you'll own all this one day
They own a penthouse suite, but it's all work and no play
They want to leave this life behind
Get away from the nine to five
Pack up and leave the daily grind
They need a simple kind of life
Know there's gotta be a better way
Know there's gotta be a better way
They want to leave this life behind
Know there's gotta be a better way
They want to leave this life behind
Get away from the nine to five
Pack up and leave the daily grind
They need a simple kind of
They need a simple kind of li-ife
