Emma Alves - 9:00-5:00 Lyrics

Where do I begin?
Are you listening?
Let me clarify all this shit

Efforts come up short
Like they have before
Watch me put in work

Damn
I see what I perceive
What does that mean?
Something bittersweet

I don't really want nothing
Don't really want nothing
I just wanna be content
Just wanna be content

I don't really want nothing
Don't really want nothing
I just wanna be content
Just wanna be content

Working 9:00-5:00
Trying to survive
Shouldn't I be wanting to thrive?
Equanimity
What I wanna see from me
I guess I just wanna be happy

Vexation with my state of being
Wanting to succeed
Wanting to be pleased

I don't really want nothing
Don't really want nothing
I just wanna be content
Just wanna be content

I don't really want nothing
Don't really want nothing
I just wanna be content
Just wanna be content
Be content
Be content

It's what I've dreamt
It's a concept I've kept constant
Just being honest
Just working weekends
Up late writing this shit
Leaving in the morning
Working till the evening

Over and over and over and over and over again
Over and over and over and over and over again

I don't really want nothing
Don't really want nothing
I just wanna be content
Just wanna be content

I don't really want nothing
Don't really want nothing
I just wanna be content
Just wanna be content
