Melissa Lou Etheridge (born May 29, 1961) is an American rock singer-songwriter and activist.
Etheridge is known for her mixture of confessional lyrics, pop-based folk-rock, and raspy, smoky vocals. She has also been an iconic gay and lesbian activist since her public coming out in January 1993.
Born in Leavenworth, Kansas, the younger of two girls, to John Etheridge, a psychology teacher at Leavenworth High School, and Elizabeth Williamson, a computer consultant. She attended David Brewer School, which is still located at 17th and Osage Streets. She graduated in 1979 from Leavenworth High School (LHS), 10th Avenue and Halderman. Etheridge was a member of the first "Power and Life" musical/dance group at LHS which is still active today. Her childhood home was at 1902 Miami Street.
Etheridge's interest in music began early; she picked up her first guitar at 8. She began to play in all-men country music groups throughout her teenage years, until she moved to Boston to attend Berklee College of Music.

a smiling cloud looking down
as if it was alive
in the nine to five
in the children's eyes
where the aeroplanes fly
i feel magic, yeah

and took a walk in the rain
what could the city streets teach me
not just fill me up with fear again
i know i'm just indulging

so tonight i'm going to feel alright with myself again
in the nine to five
in the children's eyes
where the aeroplanes fly

I wake up every morning
I stumble out of bed
Stretchin' and a'yawning
Another day ahead
It seems to last forever
And time goes slowly by
'Til babe and me's together
Then it starts to fly
Cause the moment that he's with me
Time can take a flight
The moment that he's with me
Everything's alright
Night time is the right time
We make love
Then it's his and my time
We take off
My baby takes the morning train
He works from nine till five and then
He takes another home again
To find me waitin' for him
My baby takes the morning train
He works from nine till five and then
He takes another home again
To find me waitin' for him
He takes me to a movie
Or to a restaurant, to go
Slow dancing
Anything I want
Only when he's with me
I catch a light
Only when he gives me
Makes me feel alright
My baby takes the morning train
He works from nine till five and then
He takes another home again
To find me waitin' for him
All day I think of him
Dreamin' of him constantly
I'm crazy mad for him
And he's crazy mad for me
(Crazy mad for me)
When he steps off that train
I'm makin' a fool, a fight
Work all day to earn his pay
So we can play all night
My baby takes the morning train
He works from nine till five and then
He takes another home again
To find me waitin' for him
He's always on that morning train
(He works from nine till five and then)
He works so hard
(He takes another home again)
To find me waiting for him
tumble out of bed and stumble to the kitchen
pour myself a cup of ambition
yawning stretching trying to come to life
jump in the shower the blood starts pumping
out on the streets the traffic starts jumping
folks like me on the job from nine to five
working nine to five
what a way to make a living
barely getting by
it`s all taking and no giving
they just use your mind
then they never give you credit
it`s enough to drive you crazy
and you love it
they let you dream just to watch them shatter
you`re just a step on the bossman`s ladder
but you got dreams he`ll never take away
in the same boat with a lot of your friends
waiting for the day your ship will come in
the tide`s gonna turn and it`s all gonna roll you away
working nine to five
what a way to make a living
barely getting by

it`s enough to drive you crazy
and you love it
you spend the rest of your life putting money in his pocket
he Star is in Norman's office. His day
of sweat and toil has begun.
Nine To Five
Answering phones and dictating letters
Making decisions that affect no one.
Stuck in the office from nine until five
Life is so incredibly dull,
Working from nine to five.
Oh nine to five, nine to five,
Working from nine to five.
And time goes by
The hours tick away.
First seconds,
Then minutes,
Then hours into days.
Each day,
Each week,
Seems just like any other.
All work,
No play,
It's just another day.
He's caught in a mass of computerised trivia,
Deciphering data for mechanical minds.
He's lost in the paperwork and up to his eyes,
He's checking a list that's been checked out before
And he's starting to lose his mind.
Oh nine to five, nine to five,
Working from nine to five.
Tumble outta bed and I stumble to the kitchen
Pour myself a cup of ambition
And yawnin', stretchin', try to come to life
Jump in the shower and the blood starts pumpin'
Out on the streets, the traffic starts jumpin'
With folks like me on the job from 9 to 5
Workin' 9 to 5, what a way to make a livin'
Barely gettin' by, it's all takin' and no givin'
They just use your mind and they never give you credit

9 to 5, for service and devotion
You would think that I would deserve a fair promotion
Want to move ahead but the boss won't seem to let me
I swear sometimes that man is out to get me
They let your dream, just watch 'em shatter
You're just a step on the boss man's ladder
But you got dreams he'll never take away
In the same boat with a lot of your friends
Waitin' for the day your ship 'll come in
And the tide's gonna turn an' it's all gonna roll you away
Workin' 9 to 5 what a way to make a livin'
Barely gettin' by, it's all takin' and no givin'
They just use your mind and you never get the credit
It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it

It's a rich man's game, no matter what they call it
And you spend your life putting money in his wallet
Workin' 9 to 5, oh what a way to make a livin'
Barely gettin' by, it's all takin' and no givin'

Nine to five, nine to five
Nine to five, nine to five
Stay to six, get overtime
Nine to five, nine to five
We motherfucking love our lives
Wake up in the morning at six, breakfast with the wife and kids
Pack yourself lunch, a ham sandwich, a juice box and carrot sticks
Cafeteria food is expensive, it may not fit into your budget
Hop on the bus public transit
Or carpool for the environment
Leave early in case there is traffic
Bring a newspaper or your favourite music
John Mayer to the? and Jon Bon Jovis greatest hits
Get to work at 8:55, five minutes early so you have the time
To pour yourself a coffee and say hi to your co-workers
"Good morning guys"
Talk about the shows that were on last night
Or sports events if you're a guy
The boss walks in and says "look and the time everybody get to work,
It is nine!"
Nine to five, nine to five
Bathroom break at 11:05
Nine to five, nine to five
Quality chairs that support the spine
Nine to five, nine to five
External calls, make sure to press nine
Nine to five, nine to five
We love our fucking love our lives
Photo copiers and fax machines
A casual Friday you get to wear jeans (Yay! )
How crazy is that, wearing jeans to work

Health insurance, paid sick-days
Bring baked goods to work on Tuesdays
Jill's muffins are always a hit
"What's the recipe, Jill?"
They're from Cosco..."
"... still good choice. Yeah good choice they're nice and squishy"
Staplers, keyboards and calculations
Work related conversations
"Hey, did you get my work-related email?
Yes I got your work-related email..."
"Your? Tron screensaver is really rad"
"Thanks, I like your Starwars mousepad"
It was a gift from my dentist on my 30th birthday"
Clock strikes five, it's the end of the work day
Home by six, in bed by ten
Wake up and do it all over again
Nine to five, nine to five
Why do I always feel like cry?
Nine to five, nine to five
It's not what I dreamt of as a child
Nine to five, nine to five
Everyday someone commits suicide
Nine to five, nine to five
