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
