Siren wakes me without warning
Shake off dreams, it must be morning
Outside there’s a new day dawning
Ninety million miles away
Half-drunk coffee left behind
Jostling with commuterkind
Dodge the deaf and dumb and blind
Live to work another day
(Chorus)
OFI, OFI, OFI, OFI Monday
One more week to race towards the sun
People say if I try I could be recognised one day
But I just find myself too tired to run
Every day a brand new mission
All your pawns are in position
Hatred of all opposition
Leaves a sour taste of success
Ceaseless war of blind attrition
Grinds us all into submission
If this is your life’s ambition
Gimme back the DSS
(Chorus)
OFI, OFI, OFI, OFI Monday
One more week to prove that I belong
People say if I try we could see eye to eye one day
But I don’t want to hang around that long
Friday night and it’s all over
Late night snakebite supernova
Saturday we’re all hung over
Window shopping, pouring rain
Sunday try to disappear
Somewhere where the air is clear
Feel the evening drawing near
So it comes around again
(Chorus)
OFI, OFI, OFI, OFI Monday
One more week to wish my life away
People say if I try I could be somebody someday
But I don’t want to live my life that way
(Instrumental)
(Rpt chorus)
