Monday Morning

I sit alone

I drink alone

I was born alone

I'll die alone

I dream alone

I heal alone

I exist alone

And maybe now that's a lot of alone to put up with

But I like drinking on a Monday mornin'

Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday too

Friday, Saturday, Sunday mornin'

Monday morning start anew

Well I been mistreated so my damaged self image

Is what I learned when I believed that what was said was true

Try harder, ya punk, you're an idle underachiever

Maybe so but I'll spite you now I've somethin' to prove

I've taken every behavior and identity on

Because I surely learned to be ashamed of my own

But aggression's not conflict resolution

Even though family, government, society and wrestling tell ya so

Well there's life outside school and your parents garden

So let go of how you learned your defences that way

It's probably you who's being selfish

No one has to stay with you when that's what you say

You take your anxieties out on other people

When you feel their behavior isn't true to you

And chemically on yourself when your damaged self image

Adheres to MacGowan's philosophy and other men's truths

Learning to let go of ideals and other people should be a virtue

Instead of torturing other for life

Never learning, never open, 'cause you've all these conclusions

Just 'cause it didn't work for your parents

No need to force it to work with your wife

Well no one can make me happy or see my side

Cause the anxiety's internal that makes us sad

So reassess addiction to chemicals and chronic wankin'

Well if that's what makes me happy then I've always been sad
