[Verse 1]
My mom and dad are always fighting
And it's getting very unexciting
To get a good job you need the proper schooling
Now who the hell do ya think you're fooling

[Chorus]
For it's not my place (oh, no!)
No, it's not my place (no, no!)
No, it's not my, not my, not my place
In the 9 to 5 world
And it's not my place
In the 9 to 5 world
It's not my place
In the 9 to 5 world
It's not my place
In the 9 to 5 world

[Verse 2]
Hanging out with Lester Bangs, you all
And Phil Spector really has it all
Uncle Floyd shows on the T.V
Jack Nicholson, Clint Eastwood, 10CC

[Chorus]
For it's not my place (Oh, no!)
No, it's not my place (No, no!)
No, it's not my, not my, not my place
In the 9 to 5 world
And it's not my place
In the 9 to 5 world
It's not my place
In the 9 to 5 world
It's not my place
In the 9 to 5 world
[Verse 3]
Don't want to be a working stiff
Lose my identity
'Cause when it comes to working 9 to 5
There ain't no place for me
In my reality
To me

Vin Scelsa is on the radio
Ramones are hanging out in Kokomo
Roger Corman’s on a talk show
With Allan Arkush and Stephen King, you know

[Chorus]
For it's not my place (Oh, no!)
No, it's not my place (No, no!)
No, it's not my, not my, not my place
In the 9 to 5 world
And it's not my place
In the 9 to 5 world
It's not my place
In the 9 to 5 world
It's not my place
In the 9 to 5 world
