It's Not My Place (In the 9 to 5 World) Lyrics
My mom and dad are always fighting
and it's getting very un-exciting
to get a good job
You need the proper schooling
now who the hell
do ya' think you're fooling
but 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
and it's not my place
with 9 to 5 girl
it's not my place
in the 9 to 5 world
hangin' 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
But it's not my place
(repeat)
Don't wanna be a working stiff
lose my identity
cause when it comes
to working 9 to 5
There ain't not place for me
ain't my reality, to me
Vin Scelsa's on the radio
Ramones are hangin' out in Kokomo
Roger Corman's on a talk show
With Allan Arkush and Stephen King, you know
But it's not my place
(repeat)
and it's getting very un-exciting
to get a good job
You need the proper schooling
now who the hell
do ya' think you're fooling
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
and it's not my place
with 9 to 5 girl
it's not my place
in the 9 to 5 world
and Phil Spector really has it all
Uncle Floyd shows on the t.v.
Jack Nicholson, Clint Eastwood, 10cc
(repeat)
lose my identity
cause when it comes
to working 9 to 5
There ain't not place for me
ain't my reality, to me
Ramones are hangin' out in Kokomo
Roger Corman's on a talk show
With Allan Arkush and Stephen King, you know
(repeat)

Yup it's about how joey ramone was told that he has to concentrate in school and be a good boy or else hes not gonna get a good job and he'll be a bum, and he is saying that he doesn't want to work in some deskjob in the 9 to 5 world (go to work at 9am, leave at 5pm) and he wants to play music and have his own hours. Good song!
