Story Behind The Song

I'm through putting all my energy into the 9-5.

Song Description

Everybody's got to work. Most don't mind it. But everybody's got to have a life. If you work too much, you get pissed off and resent it.

Lyrics

Monday
Verse:
Almost everyone's got to work
Sometime 7 days a week
It's getting hard to get by, It's getting hard to make ends meet
Well I don't mind working
Breaking out into a sweat
Just as long as I get a decent paycheck
But the boss man wants me to work overtime
He's cutting into the time that's mine
Yeah I need the money, but I also need a life
Chorus:
So don't talk about Monday, not even on Sunday
Never on Saturday, cause that's my day to play
Don't talk about Monday, not even on Tuesday
Don't talk about Monday, unless we call the whole day off
Verse:
You know my wife she's starting to worry
She does'nt see me anymore
And the kids have all gone to bed by the time I reach my own front door
I was fixing to take the weekend off
You know, send some time with everyone
But they say we got a deadline to meet by the end of the week
And the boss man wants me to work overtime
He's cutting into the time that's mine
Yeah I need the money but I also need a life
Chorus:
So don't talk about Monday not even on Sunday
Never on Saturday cause that's my day to play
Don't talk about Monday not even on Tuesday
Don't talk about Monday unless we call the whole day off
Bridge:
I need a vacation with my family
I need to spend some time with my friends
I need to do a few things around the house
You know them little odds and ends
But the bossman wants me to work overtime
He's cutting into the time that's mine
Yeah I need the money but I also need a life
Chorus:
So don't talk about Monday! Not even on Sunday
Never on Saturday cause that's my day to play
Don't Talk about Monday! Not even on Tuesday
Don't talk about Monday unless we call the whole day off
Don't talk about Monday unless we call the whole day off
