So tired i can feel my eyes melting
I'm sick and tired of the same old
I'm waiting for the next check from the big man
He's the one that really owns my soul
A dead corpse lying next to a vulture
The realest desert I've ever seen
Stuck in four walls with no air
Mr. tax man next to me
It's only nice if it's got a big price tag
So u better have a chat with ur bank
I might have to give up on eating
If i'm ever gonna make my rent
East side, West side on the 9 to 5 all for the chicka-ch-ching
Uptown Downtown clock in and clock out for the chicka-ch-ching
Left wing right wing its all the same thing its all 'bout the chicka-ch-ching
Don't forget to smile keep ur head down and u'll get ur chicka-ch-ching
God damn it's another fuckin' monday
I just can't seem to get a break
And everyone's hollerin' and yelling
Don't know how much i can take
More bills and debt more bills and debt
The more u earn the more u spend
More bills and debt, more bills and debt
The less u make the less u get
East side, West side on the 9 to 5 all for the chicka-ch-ching
Uptown Downtown clock in and clock out for the chicka-ch-ching
Left wing right wing its all the same thing its all 'bout the chicka-ch-ching
Don't forget to smile keep ur head down and u'll get ur chicka-ch-ching
We admire all the hard work, but we're gonna have to let u go
Wishing u all the best now, it's so hard to have to let u go
Ur just another cog in the wheel, please know its nothing personal
U knew the game before u played, security will show you to the door
East side, West side on the 9 to 5 all for the chicka-ch-ching
Uptown Downtown clock in and clock out for the chicka-ch-ching
Left wing right wing its all the same thing its all 'bout the chicka-ch-ching
Don't forget to smile keep your head down and you'll get your chicka-ch-ching

Moodymann creates innovative soul funky music with deep 70s inspiration. The vocals are simply outstanding. A step back in time, 50 years ago! Superb. jef37

Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last! Anthony Cottrell
