Sound like the sun coming up
Gotta figure out what Imma do
What Imma do with this day

Sometimes I feel like we’re all children
away in our dying asleep in out living
Don’t walk don’t bend don’t run
No sleep no friends no sun
Stay in line don’t cause a scene
no fantasies allowed so kill your dreams
Your mama didn’t make it your daddy didn’t make it
so what make you so special that you can take it
nothing- that’s what they keep telling you
so you hold your dreams in till your face turns blue
now blue is the color of your soul
and the color of you dreams
cause you left them on the floor dead and cold
so you cover them up with a blanket of reality
so you can chase after your blanket salary
you run away till you can’t see ‘em no more
but you can’t run back cause your feet are too sore

some people wake up on Monday mornings
bar maelstroms and red flare warnings
some people wake up on Monday mornings
bar maelstroms and red flare warnings

The alarm rings you wake up, brush your teeth
shit shower shave, get something to eat
grab a cup of coffee so your hear won’t hurt
kiss your kids on the head then it’s off to work
then you holler at your mates, sit down in your box
work for 3 hours then stare at the clock
‘til 11:15 and you know what’s next
order a #3 from Panda Express
now it’s 12:59 you head back to your box
open up your e-mail letter from your boss
apparently you have a meeting at 3
and it’s mandatory for staff and faculty
now it’s 3:15 and your falling asleep
and dream about what your life is suppose to be
now it’s 4:30 you look back at your watch
and you think about all the things your life is not
you get home eat dinner watch a little TV
your wife it talking to you but your falling asleep
and you never listen to her so your wife if vexed
which is screwed up, I guess your not having sex
so you watch the evening news full of suicide bombers
pretend to care the the Earth is getting warmer
get ready for bed kiss your wife on the chin
go to sleep wake up and do the same thing again

some people wake up on Monday mornings
bar maelstroms and red flare warnings
with no explosions and no surprises
perform a series of exercises

Are you an object of desire or a desiring object?
do you project life or are you someone's project?
So what you can breath it doesn’t mean your alive
Do you live through your days or do you just survive?
When you dance in the dark don’t think of the harm
you crash into the wall or into someone's arm
and if you hit the wall well, lesson learned
anybody can shine but first you gotta burn
and sometime it hurts but it’s worth the pain
how’s your seed gone grow if you never let it rain
kisses on your cheek or your face gets broke
in this life you get your fair share of both
so if you need help, life will feed you a rope
but if you eat too much you’re guaranteed to choke
so when the sun goes down and a new day’s dawning
what you gone do come monday morning

some people wake up on Monday mornings
bar maelstroms and red flare warnings
with no explosions and no surprises
perform a series of exercises
