NINE TO FIVE STATE OF MIND By Tom Jensen
I'm never going to be as smart as Noam, baby
I'm never going to be confused with Chomsky, no…
I'm looking to gather up like-minded people
I'm trying to find like-minds, you know…
I'm trying to gather all the like minds
That I can find: as I think it's time…
For us to unite and rally around a reason –
How about my rhymes?
Let’s go from scared safe
To balls-to-the-wall
Go-for-it-all
Hell, screw this system!
That's why I am here…
Nine-to-five
Is a state of mind
that must be resisted………
The result of a wreckage of lies
Oh how the truth becomes twisted…….
As you turn your head to read and hear what was said…..
Oh, by that time has passed – you already missed it………
You missed it…..and I’m sorry
It was only a puddle, it was shallow
Just as the dreams they sold you
They were all were hollow….
Remember there’s still tomorrow….
If you put a value in a moral
Rather than to take money
To end any and all quarrel….
If you speak up loudly
Against something horrible
If you feed the birds
And try not to run over squirrels
