Priorities

You can feel it in the streets
I watch it on TV
A sudden rush of interest
In what's to come of me
Everybody's wondering
Will I win or lose?
But all I want
Is the right to choose

'Cause I'm bored, can't you see?
With what I gotta be?
Nine 'til five just ain't for me
We're number one
And I'm free

A jetpack pilgrim
Fueled up on gin
You got no time for revolution
So where's the fun begin?
If you get through this
You won't feel the same
'Cause bashing out the cords
Is the name of the game

'Cause I'm bored, can't you see?
With what I gotta be?
Nine 'til five just ain't for me
Top of the pops
And I'm free

Mortgage, garbage
Usage, wastage
Middle age, hostage
Four-oh-five, six-two-five
Nine-to-five, watch that clock
'Cause it's watching you

Anarchy's no anthem
Even twenty-one
Are just some foolish boys and girls
Out looking for fun
They've got their nasty arm bands
And their leather macs
And they're making lots of money
For Kings Road hacks

But I'm bored, can't you see?
With what I gotta be?
Nine 'til five just ain't for me
We're number one
'Cause I'm bored, can't you see?
