9 To 5
Yearning for Stability: Smallpools' 9 to 5 Anthem
Lyrics
You tasted the porridge
You experienced something
And ran before the grizzlies took your life
And escaped danger before it harmed you
But you tried to ignore it
But attempted to avoid acknowledging it
The yen that wreathes the corners of your mind
The desire or influence that surrounds your thoughts
All you said you wanted
You expressed a wish
Was some time alone to look over the Treaty Of Versailles
To have time alone to examine the Treaty Of Versailles
But all you really wanted
However, what you truly desired
Was a 9 to 5
Was a conventional 9 to 5 job
To pay the bills on time
To manage financial responsibilities punctually
You dug from the storage
You retrieved something from storage
A tapestry they could not weave to scale
A piece of artwork they couldn't replicate accurately
Your shoes stuck to the mortgage
Your obligations clung to you
Like zebra muscles sticking to the shale
Similar to how zebra mussels adhere to rocks
All you said you wanted
You reiterated a desire
Was some time alone to look over the Treaty Of Versailles
To have solitude to study the Treaty Of Versailles
But all you really wanted
However, what you genuinely sought
Was a 9 to 5
Was a typical 9 to 5 job
To pay the bills on time
To handle financial commitments promptly
To pay the bills on time
To meet financial obligations on schedule
All you said you wanted
You restated a desire
Was some time alone to reassess your life
To have time alone to reevaluate your life
All you really wanted
However, what you truly desired
Was a 9 to 5
Was a regular 9 to 5 job
To pay the bills on time
To manage financial responsibilities punctually
