Chain of Mondays
a thousand mondays
that’s just 19 years
put your head down
put your ass in gear
before you know it
the day is done
fall asleep
and there’s another one
Chain of Mondays
wrapped round my life
Chain of mondays
there’s no wodnering why
chain of mondays
Til the end of time
Chain of mondays
til the day I die
I’m good at what I do
but what I do is dumb
pushing things around
all day long
what’s it all for
don’t ask me
i’m just a well-worn gear
in the big machine
Chain of Mondays…
don’t take off my shackles
i don’t want to be free
cause theres nowhere to go
and no one to be
been at the grindstone
for so damn long
there’s nothing much left
except this song:
Chain of Mondays…

Notes/Memo
author’s note — by my count, I’ve been alive at this writing 20,003 days, give or take a day or two. Common sense tells us that 1/7 of those were Mondays… 2857 and a half mondays… (a half? … guess that would be today, 2006-02-13)
But you’re only a couple months into your 19th year when you cross the “1000 Monday” mark…

Chain of Mondays…
Chain of mondays
chain of mondays drag me down x2
Ain’t no air in here
and I feel like I’m gonna drown
Since I was six
Monday mornings got me down x2
aint no magic fountain of coffee
make Monday morning turn around
chain of mondays
chain of mondays til i die
get up and do it all again
then fall asleep wonderin’ why
chain of mondays wrapped around
chain of mondays pull me down
chain of mondays around all my life
chain of mondays around all my days
chain of mondays wrapped around my life
chain of mondays til I die
til i saw you
it was all just wasted time
Glad just to have something to do
it makes the time just fly
Weeks rush into years
whilin’ way the time
workin’ til I die
chain of mondays
aint no magic fountain of coffee
When I was a kid, the first day of school was always a Tuesday. According to one of my high school teachers, a guy who was good for all kinds of improbable truths and inside stories (most of which I didn’t believe at the time but later found to be true), said that starting sessions on Tuesday was social engineering. They didn’t want to start kids off hating Mondays.Me, I think they were just wisely avoiding the double whammy.
