FUCKING MONDAYS
Embracing Existential Discontent: "Fucking Mondays" by The Hyènes
Lyrics
So fed up to sing stupid songs
Expressing frustration with singing meaningless songs.
Trying my best but I’m always wrong
Feeling unsuccessful despite best efforts.
Tired to be always drunk and broke
Exhausted from being constantly intoxicated and financially struggling.
I don’t believe in anything anymore
Losing faith or interest in everything.
Don’t want to be a working-class hero
Rejecting the idea of being a working-class hero.
I’d rather be something around zero
Prefer being insignificant (zero) over conforming to societal expectations.
So now I’m gonna do what they say
Deciding to follow societal norms reluctantly.
Shut my mouth and go to work every day
Choosing to stay silent and conform to a daily work routine.
I’m all right
Claiming emotional stability and indifference to others' opinions.
I’m ok
-I don’t mind
-What you say
-We want it we want them fucking Mondays
Expressing a desire for Mondays, possibly sarcastically or ironically.
We want it we want it oh oh oh
-24/7 like a Chinese child
Reflecting on a monotonous life, questioning the value of being human.
Am I a robot? Well, I don’t mind
-Who cares to be a human being?
-I’m gonna love you babe like a machine
-You’d also better do what they say
Advising others to conform to societal expectations, criticizing the concept of freedom.
Thinking or not you’ll be sad anyway
-You think you’re someone but you’re just meat
-You talk about freedom but who cares about it?
-We want it we want them fucking Mondays
Reiterating the desire for Mondays, suggesting a complex relationship with routine.
We want it we want it oh oh oh
-A seven Mondays week is what we need
Promoting the idea of a seven-day work week for health and family, with a hint of sarcasm.
It’s good for your health; it’s good for your kids
-Complaining all the time is so easy
-I’m so happy in my factory
-I’m all right
Reaffirming emotional stability and indifference.
I’m ok
-I can’t hear
-What you say
-We want it we want them fucking Mondays
Repeating the desire for Mondays, possibly emphasizing the longing for routine despite the apparent discontent.
We want it we want it oh oh oh
