I hear a voice at night words in my ear
And this is what it's saying
Punching the clock at 9 trying to wake up
The smell of coffee in the near and time moving so slow
I'm wondering where the hours go
I thought that we were born to live
But money seems to stand in the way
How much longer ‘til it's my day
I guess that's just the name of the game
Someone take me out of the rain
‘Cause every time I open my eyes
It's Monday – yeah Monday
From 9 to 5 it's always the same
Feel sometimes I'm going insane
Living in a fools paradise from Monday to Sunday
I've got a girl, that's right mother of pearl
But never get to take her out despite all of our plans
And I don't want to lose her
I know that we were born to give
But seems that time is running away
Oh thank God that it's Friday
I guess that's just the name of the game
Someone take me out of the rain
‘Cause every time I open my eyes
It's Monday – yeah Monday
From 9 to 5 it's always the same
Feel sometimes I'm going insane
Living in a fools paradise from Monday to Sunday
I thought that we were born to live (It's taking up all of my time)
Yeah Monday, it's Monday
Whenever I open up my eyes always the same there's no surprise
Funny how days go by in a fools paradise
I need a different kind of world so we can hang me and my girl
‘Cause I was born to fly from Monday to Sunday yeah
