Friday night, all the people prowl Rolled up tight, like a dog they howl Monday mornin', it begins again Livin' dry till the weekend Goin' down, they're victims of the workday blues Sweet Sunday, they're too tired to pray Too self seekin', they hide away Monday mornin', it begins again Livin' with nothin' till the weekend Goin' down, they're victims of the workday blues Cheap satisfaction ain't there on demand Lookin' cross-eyed at the Son of man
Some are just lazy, some want a hand, not a heart It's frustratin' when the job is so hard But nothin' is impossible with my sweet Lord Some live like there ain't no truth they can choose There's gonna be judgement day blues Monday mornin', victims of the workday blues There ain't no doubt, they're victims of the workday blues Ain't no good neglectin', the love and truth and good news Yeah, yeah, yeah The workday blues
