Joelistics verse 1
alarm bell's are ringin and I'm up and out of bed
Coffee's in the pot It's on the go it's on the boil
six in the mornin and I'm jumpin on the train and
once again it's groundhog day
and I catch a glimpse of the man I am
my life did go according to plan
I went to highs school, university and then a steady job
2 kids and a divorce I got burnt from
I pay my tax like everyone else
and I can't relax like anyone else
and I can't believe that it's comin around
so I brace myself for a nervous break down
quick step I ain't got time to think
more stress every single time I blink
The 9 to 5 lullaby world wide day to day grind
got me asking if there's more to life
come on
Wake up on Mondays (uh oh)
Makin my coffee (uh oh)
day's fall like dominoes
That's just what I know, all I need to know
Count Bounce verse 2
All I need to know (uh oh)
Lunch break coming and I need a pickup
I got nothing but some emptiness inside of my cup
l got rubbing eyes crazily I vaguely lost
I've got automatic pilot on the albatross
Now you take a good look and see it piling up
and order will be executed by the robots
cause they're running the show
yeah they're calling the shots
and every Monday morning we just want to call it all off
but even in the thick of it different trials are lost
In a court that we thought would never suffer a loss
I'm takin a long walk, no I ain't takin a bus
I need a minute to configure or I'm gonna combust
So wake up.
Wake up on Mondays (uh oh)
Makin my coffee (uh oh)
days fall like dominoes
That's just what I know, all I need to know
Wake up on Mondays (uh oh)
Makin my coffee (uh oh)
Watchin the world explode
That's just what I know, all I need to know
(uh oh)
We walk in to the walls like ghosts that haunt the night
almost dead before we die and this ain't no kind of lie
Takes more than all of these long days to make me face up
to the fact that nothing changes what is this that keeps me running...
what is this that keeps me running...
what is this that keeps me running...
Joelistics and Count Bounce verse 3
Newspapers talking bout war in the middle East
I don't see it so I leave it to the war chiefs
Murder one gun man in the city streets
I don't feel it cause it's just another news brief
To get my wage I've lost lots of days
I've locked up my rage for the money that I'm paid
and my attitude is do what you need
But what will it mean next century
and I'm day dreaming that today will be my last day
I'll either leave or throw grenades in my work place
and would I even know if the world explode
I'm a quit my job, pack my bags and go...
Wake up on Mondays (uh oh)
Makin my coffee (uh oh)
days fall like dominoes
That's just what I know, all I need to know
Wake up on Mondays (uh oh)
Makin my coffee (uh oh)
Watchin the world explode
That's just what I know, all I need to know
(uh oh)
