Aesop Rock: 9-5ers Anthem in case anyone hasn’t listened to these lyrics….

Now we the American working population Hate the fact that eight hours a day Is wasted on chasing the dream of someone that isn't us And we may not hate our jobs But we hate jobs in general That don't have to do with fighting our own causes We the American working population Hate the nine-to-five day-in day-out When we'd rather be supporting ourselves By being paid to perfect the pasttimes That we have harbored based solely on the fact That it makes us smile if it sounds dope My friend reminded me of this song recently but I can’t help but want to share it- the lyrics really capture the message of; we’re fine working but we don’t want our whole life to be about work or being underpaid while working Aesop Rock, 9-5ers Anthem: https://music.apple.com/us/album/9-5ers-anthem/1623688022?i=1623688818


Now we the American working population
Hate the fact that eight hours a day
Is wasted on chasing the dream of
someone that isn't us
And we may not hate our jobs
But we hate jobs in general
That don't have to do with fighting our own causes
We the American working population
Hate the nine-to-five day-in day-out
When we'd rather be supporting ourselves
By being paid to perfect the pasttimes
That we have harbored based solely on the fact That it makes us smile if it sounds dope

My friend reminded me of this song recently but I can’t help but want to share it- the lyrics really capture the message of; we’re fine working but we don’t want our whole life to be about work or being underpaid while working
