lyrics

Another death in the family, another price on a head, another chance to look back, appreciate what we had
It was a crime, it was murder, but no one really got caught
The ashes in the ocean, but the ashes were yachts

And that death was a life’s work, gone just like that
Sold the house that you built, couldn’t cover the debt
Tried to climb up ladder, but they wanted you to drown
Told you to stay in your place
They tore the whole thing down

Now, it’s Monday and you woke up at noon, because on Sundays you’re working under the moon, while some dumb rich asshole is rakin’ in the big bucks while he’s sleepin’ in

Sometimes you’ll think it was you and it just wasn’t enough
But hey, believe me they want you, ‘till your spirits are crushed
So, they’ve robbed you of lifetime that could’ve spent with us
For sigh of relief when the line goes up

Now, it’s Monday and you woke up at noon, because on Sundays you’re working under the moon, while some dumb rich asshole is rakin’ in the big bucks while he’s sleepin’ in

So now you’re breaking your back, and they’re upping the pressure and I can feel the ice start to crack
So, do we keep our heads high and work hard or whatever?
Can you do that again, and bounce back?

Now, it’s Monday and you woke up at noon, because on Sunday you’re working under the moon, while some dumb rich asshole is rakin’ in the big bucks while he’s sleepin’ in

The big bucks
