My mom and dad are always fighting
And it's getting very unexciting
To get a good job you need a proper schooling
Now who the hell do ya think you're fooling?

But it's not my place (oh no)
No it's not my place (no no)
No it's not my-not my-not my place
In the 9 to 5 world
And it's not my place in the 9 to 5 world
And it's not my place in the 9 to 5 world
It's not my place
In the 9 to 5 world

Hangin' out with Lester Bangs you all
And Phil Spector really has it all
Uncle Floyd shows on the T.V
Jack Nicholson, Clint Eastwood, 10cc

But it's not my place (oh no)
No it's not my place (no no)
No it's not my-not my-not my place
In the 9 to 5 world
And it's not my place in the 9 to 5 world
And it's not my place in the 9 to 5 world
It's not my place
In the 9 to 5 world

Don't wanna be a workin' stiff
Lose my identity
'Cause when it comes to working 9 to 5
There ain't not place for me
Ain't my reality
To me

Vin Scelsa's on the radio
Ramones are hangin' out in Kokomo
Roger Corman's on a talk show
With Allan Arkush and Stephen King, you know

But it's not my place (oh no)
No it's not my place (no no)
No it's not my-not my-not my place
In the 9 to 5 world
And it's not my place in the 9 to 5 world (oh no)
And it's not my place in the 9 to 5 world (no no)
It's not my place
In the 9 to 5 world

And it's not my place (oh no)
No it's not my place (no no)
No it's not my-not my-not my place
In the 9 to 5 world
And it's not my place in the 9 to 5 world (oh no)
And it's not my place in the 9 to 5 world (no no)
It's not my place
In the 9 to 5 world

No it's not my place
No it's not my place
No it's not my place
