Hey, my name is Jim, I fought in Vietnam My life's a bargain basement, all the good sh**'s gone I just can't hold a job. Where did I go wrong? I'm sleeping in my car; My dreams moved on My name is Billy Jean, my love is bought and sold I'm only sixteen, I feel a hundred years old My foster daddy went and took my innocence away The street life ain't much better but at least I'm getting paid Tuesday just might go my way It can't get worse than yesterday Thursdays, Fridays ain't been kind But somehow I'll survive Chorus: Hey, man, I'm alive As long as I can breathe, as long as I can fight Hey man, I know I'll get by When I wanna die I pick up all the pieces and what's left of my pride I'm feeling like a Monday but I wish I were a Saturday night I can't say my name, my life is on the line They say that I'm to blame, that I'm guilty of a crime I wish that I could be in another time and place With someone else's soul and someone else's face This world ain't so cut and dry but I can't 'why?' wrong or right I ain't here to justify what I gotta do to survive Chorus: Hey, man, I'm alive As long as I can breathe, As long as I can fight Hey man, I know I'll get by When I wanna die I pick up all the pieces and what's left of my pride I'm feeling like a Monday but I wish I were a Saturday night I'm feeling like a Monday but someday I'll be Saturday night Tuesday just might go my way It can't get worse than yesterday Thursdays, Fridays ain't been kind Somehow I'll survive Chorus: Hey, man, I'm alive As long as I can breathe, as long as I can fight Hey man, I know I'll get by When I wanna die, I pick up all the pieces and what's left of my pride I'm feeling like a Monday but someday I'll be Saturday night
