The Taxman’s on my back but there’s no overtime.
The rut won’t snap, my life is wrapped in tired eyes.
I’ve gotta kill myself to stay alive.
My only salvation is down town Friday night.
It’s just another Monday morning,
another week chasing the pound.
It’s breaking my back and it’s bringing me down.
It feels like I’m carrying my gravestone on my shoulders.
I can but try as a common foot soldier.
I can but try as a common foot soldier.
Another Monday morning.
