Lyrics
Woke up Monday morning with my head in the dirt and I was feeling just fine ‘till I went out to work
Waking up on Monday with a negative outlook on the workweek, feeling fine until going to work.
And it was looking like I was gonna have a shit day and it was a shit day for the rest of the year
Anticipating a bad day and experiencing a tough year at work.
Hey! Is this the place you work? Oh I like your office sir, officer pull me over (Oh shit!)
Noticing the workplace, expressing admiration, and encountering an unexpected encounter with law enforcement.
End of the weeknessessary need to quit my job
Feeling the necessity to quit the job at the end of the week.
And you’re still staring at that piece of paper I didn’t fill out
Someone still focusing on an incomplete task or document.
I didn’t fill out, I didn’t fill out
Reiterating the failure to fill out a document.
Here I am, pale and weak, sucking on the
Presenting oneself as pale and weak, undergoing the last insult of the week.
Last insult of the week, being on the
Continuing the theme of feeling insulted at the end of the week.
Blacklist of my own company
Being blacklisted by one's own company.
And all you left-alones
Addressing those who are left alone.
Throwing your sticks and stones
Referring to criticism from others directed towards the narrator.
To the other man, to the better man and me
Mentioning others who are considered better.
Woke up Monday morning with my head in the clouds ‘till I heard my boss scream
Starting a new week with optimism until confronted by the boss.
“I have to see you now!” So I went to his desk, and he locked the door and he told me
Being summoned by the boss and receiving news of termination.
I didn’t have to come back anymore
Feeling a mix of emotions after being told not to come back to work.
I can’t explain but it felt so good, even though I lost a job where the money was so good
Expressing a strange sense of relief despite losing a lucrative job.
So I went back home to celebrate
Returning home to celebrate the end of employment.
But you’re still staring at that piece of paper, I didn’t fill out, I didn’t fill out. I didn’t!
Noting the continued focus on an incomplete document despite the positive news.
Here I am, pale and weak, sucking on the
Repeating the experience of feeling insulted at the end of the week.
Last insult of the week, being on the
Enduring being blacklisted by the company.
Blacklist of my own company
Addressing those who are left alone, possibly in a negative light.
And all you left-alones
Receiving criticism in the form of sticks and stones from others.
Throwing your sticks and stones
Pointing to criticism directed at both the other man and the narrator.
To the other man, to the better man and me!
Reiterating the criticism directed towards the other man and the narrator.
And all you left-alones
Addressing those who are left alone, reemphasizing criticism.
Throwing your sticks and stones
Continuing the metaphor of sticks and stones being thrown at the other man and the narrator.
To the other man, to the better man
Emphasizing the criticism directed at the other man and the better man.
To the other man, to the better man
Repeating the criticism towards the other man and the better man.
To the other man, to the better man and me!
Reiterating the criticism towards the other man, the better man, and the narrator.
