It’ll Drive You Crazy If You Let It

Working nine-to-five,
it’s easy to lose touch
with what it feels like to be alive.
Last to leave the hive
‘cause you can't buzz your wings enough
‘cause you’re working nine-to-five.
You might want to drive
fifty in second and torch your clutch
how it feels to be alive.
All the juice you thrive
on—pollens, nectars—what a rush,
working nine-to-five!
Like Dolly says, all taking and no giv-
ing, so just GIVE UP and be a lush
to try to feel a little more alive!
You can't but connive
with the big fat man who eats your lunch,
working nine-to-five
hard pressed to find a way to feel alive.
