[Verse 1]

You tasted the porridge

Ran before the grizzlies took your life

But you tried to ignore it

The end that reads the corners of your mind?

[Chorus]

All you said you wanted

Was some time alone to look over the Treaty of Versailles

But all you really wanted

Was a 9 to 5

To pay the bills on time

[Verse 2]

You dug from the storage

A tapestry that could not weave to scale

Shoes stuck to the mortgage

Like zebra mussels sticking to the ship

[Chorus]

All you said you wanted

Was some time alone to look over the Treaty of Versailles

But all you really wanted

Was a 9 to 5

To pay the bills on time

[Outro]

All you said you wanted

Was some time alone to reassess your life

All you really wanted

Was a 9 to 5

To pay the bills on time
