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 yeah
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 b******
I have dreams of trading rags for riches
Monday morning blues
You know a prayer will see me through
I got them Monday morning blues
You know I'll make my dreams come true yeah yeah
They make you work
It's so routine this life I'm leading
I've got to break away
I must to be mad (Must to be mad) it's soul destroying
No man should live this way no
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
I got them Monday morning blues
You know I'll make my dreams come true yeah yeah
(Work his fingers to the bone)
With money in my pocket I can sing a different song
(Break his back to become a man)
Who has a reputation could I really be someone
(Step right out)
Leave these poor mans shoes
(Stand so proud)
I've got to shake away these blues
(Make my life)
Make my life worth while
Spend my time in luxury and style
Monday morning blues
You know a prayer will see me through
I got them Monday morning blues
You know I'll make my dreams come true yeah
Monday morning blues
You know a prayer will see me through
Monday morning blues
You know I'll make my dreams come true yeah yeah
Monday morning Monday morning
Don't you know (The man will see me through)
Monday morning Monday morning
Ooh you know (The man will see me through)
