From nine to five I'm occupied I'm tied to the factory floor Running like clockwork Counting out time In blood, sweat and tears I'm holding the line
Can't run away It's just a waste of time Can't run away Freedom is so hard to find
One for all and all for one The trade-union leader's pointing his gun He's asking for money to a campaign he'll raise But the gunsmoke he's making Won't kill more than flies
I can't take it anymore I can't take it, no I can't take it anymore I can't take it, take it no more
I was young and blue When I first met sue She gave me a son when I was twentyone Now time has changed the woman I had Into a love-taking wife In an awful disguise
Can't run away It's just a waste of my time Can't run away Freedom is so hard to find
I can't take it anymore I can't take it, no I can't take it anymore I can't take it, take it no more
I can't take it anymore I can't take it, no I can't take it anymore I can't take it, no
I can't take it anymore I can't take it, no I can't take it anymore I can't take it, take it no more
