Nine to Five Barbarian
Words and music by Bill Sutton © 1986

Every morning the alarm goes off and knocks me out of bed I rush to catch the bus to get to work and bash some heads My boss is screaming murder as I punch the clock at nine I grab my plated armor and start hacking up the line I'm a nine to five barbarian. Don't have to do no paperwork, I'm happy as a clam, Not a farmer or librarian. I'm a killer with a vengeance on the profit-sharing plan. A coffee break at ten o'clock, another one at three An hour off for lunch and for the doc to look at me I stop to sharpen up my knife and brush the guts away And back into the fight to earn my dollar for the day. I'm a nine to five barbarian. Don't have to do no paperwork, I'm happy as a clam, Not a farmer or librarian. I'm a killer with a vengeance on the profit-sharing plan. Well at five the whistle blows and I go home to hearth and wife I have a drink and contemplate the meaning of my life The stresses of my budget can no longer be denied I'm gonna have to start assassinations on the side. I'm a nine to five barbarian. Don't have to do no paperwork, I'm happy as a clam, Not a farmer or librarian. I'm a killer with a vengeance on the profit-sharing plan.
