Vanish in fury and smoke
Before she left she spoke
About her problem and her plan
When they know me's who I am
She said, I plan to make my escape
Gonna check out the United States
Can't take the silent ways, Dad
I could not be who I want
When they know me's who I am
Besides, people work their whole lives
Hoping to get here
I figured they could use the room
A great place to get rich, have kids and die
I probably won't be coming back sometime
I could not be who I want
If I stay here with you
When my voice repeats itself
I don't need the pain
The weight of all my hard work
Endless pain
And it's not a bad life
Working nine to five
Weak and guarded
And cheating on your wife
And if you find yourself broken
Go make your real change
And let the courage fool the traffic
No secret to escape
But who it is they want
It's easy to find your way
If the weight of life may begin
I don't need the pain
The weight of all my hard work
Endless pain
And it's not a bad life
Working nine to five
Weak and guarded
And cheating on your wife
And if you find yourself broken
Go make your real change
And let the courage fool the traffic
No secret to escape
But who it is they want
It's easy to find your way
If the weight of life may begin
I don't need the pain
The weight of all my hard work
Endless pain
And it's not a bad life
Working nine to five
Working nine to five
