My life is a week full of Mondays! Deadlines, the line is dead!
Outside everything is better off! I want to go back to bed!
(He needs to rest his head!)
My neighbour is a horrible man! Red tiles! The houses are red!
Built long ago! No accounting for taste! I’m living in a valley of waste!
(No accounting for taste!)
My boss wants his ‘pound of flesh!’ Whips crack across my back!
Production lines, consumer items! Churning out the things I lack!
(He hopes he doesn’t get the sack!)
There’s people that do! and there’s people that don’t!
We all look up to those that won’t! Nothings surer but nothing is safe!
Another day passes in the valley of waste!

My life is a week full of Mondays! Go!,go! Go! Go! I might collapse!
I didn’t finish what I started last Friday I should’ve stayed in bed!
(He should have used his head!)
My boss doesn’t want me anymore! Automation put me out the door!
To the end of a very long dole queue! Who needs a fridge when you’re out in the cold?
(He should’ve been told!)
There’s people that do! and there’s people that don’t!
We all look up to those that won’t! Nothings surer! but nothing is safe!
Another day passes in the valley of waste!

I light a cigarette! I think on what you said!
Why aren’t you satisfied with your lot!   (Do something about it!)
I’m jumping up and down! I shake it all around!
Oh!  This is so frustrating!                     (Do something about it!)
I hear the penny drop! I hear you all say stop!
How can you sit there just complaining! (Do something about it!)
The valley of waste!
