Chain of Mondays<\/p>\n
a thousand mondays
\nthat’s just 19 years
\nput your head down
\nput your ass in gear<\/p>\n
before you know it
\nthe day is done
\nfall asleep
\nand there’s another one<\/p>\n
Chain of Mondays
\nwrapped round my life
\nChain of mondays
\nthere’s no wodnering why
\nchain of mondays
\nTil the end of time
\nChain of mondays
\ntil the day I die<\/p>\n
I’m good at what I do
\nbut what I do is dumb
\npushing things around
\nall day long<\/p>\n
what’s it all for
\ndon’t ask me
\ni’m just a well-worn gear
\nin the big machine<\/p>\n
Chain of Mondays…<\/p>\n
don’t take off my shackles
\ni don’t want to be free
\ncause theres nowhere to go
\nand no one to be<\/p>\n
been at the grindstone
\nfor so damn long
\nthere’s nothing much left
\nexcept this song:<\/p>\n
Chain of Mondays…<\/p>\n

Notes\/Memo<\/p>\n
author’s note — by my count, I’ve been alive at this writing 20,003 days, give or take a day or two. Common sense tells us that 1\/7 of those were Mondays… 2857 and a half mondays… (a half? … guess that would be today, 2006-02-13)<\/p>\n
But you’re only a couple months into your 19th year when you cross the “1000 Monday” mark…<\/p>\n

Chain of mondays
\nchain of mondays drag me down x2
\nAin’t no air in here
\nand I feel like I’m gonna drown<\/p>\n
Since I was six
\nMonday mornings got me down x2
\naint no magic fountain of coffee
\nmake Monday morning turn around<\/p>\n
chain of mondays
\nchain of mondays til i die
\nget up and do it all again
\nthen fall asleep wonderin’ why<\/p>\n
chain of mondays wrapped around
\nchain of mondays pull me down<\/p>\n
chain of mondays around all my life<\/p>\n
chain of mondays around all my days<\/p>\n
chain of mondays wrapped around my life
\nchain of mondays til I die<\/p>\n
til i saw you
\nit was all just wasted time <\/p>\n
Glad just to have something to do
\nit makes the time just fly
\nWeeks rush into years
\nwhilin’ way the time
\nworkin’ til I die <\/p>\n
chain of mondays<\/p>\n
aint no magic fountain of coffee <\/p>\n
When I was a kid, the first day of school was always a Tuesday. According to one of my high school teachers, a guy who was good for all kinds of improbable truths and inside stories (most of which I didn’t believe at the time but later found to be true), said that starting sessions on Tuesday was social engineering. They didn’t want to start kids off hating Mondays.Me, I think they were just wisely avoiding the double whammy.<\/p>\n
