Monday Morning Blues

God knows I work, so many hours

I need a change of scene

I know some day I will fight the power

To be a man of means

Be a part of that game

Where your money's talking

Ride that train to where your fortune's smiling

Leave behind a poor man's life

His days are bitches

I have dreams of trading rags for riches

Monday morning blues

You know a prayer will see me through

Monday morning blues

You know I'll make my dreams come true.

It's so routine, this life I'm leading

I've got to break away

I must to be mad, it's soul destroying

No man should live this way.

Should I reach for the sky

Or just wait for mercy

Don't ask why then leave the answer to history

If a man should know his place

Some men live in sorrow

With or without grace I'll fight for tomorrow

Monday morning blues

You know a prayer will see me through

Monday morning blues

You know I'll make my dreams come true.
