Monday
The Busters Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The weekend went by, now it’s gone
The first shit of the day, is the dog shit on your way
You’re stuck in traffic jam
You swear as loud as you can
Why’s it always only you
Kept up by fools with nothing to do
You’re so poor you’ve got it bad
No one can be half as sad
You’re not the only person to be hurt
Things go wrong and you can’t help it
If you ain’t blind you can tell it
Sometimes it’s Monday all over the world
At work no one’s really nice
Except for all these little lies
Like: you’re looking good today
Can’t they see it’s a Monday?
You’re so poor you’ve got it bad...
Cars break down and couples fight
That really sounds unique
Your hairstylist should go to jail
And your best friend is a freak
Your soccer team lost every game
You feel just the same
You get into your car
And scratch your bosses Jaguar
You’re so poor you’ve got it bad...
The Busters's song "Monday" is a testament to the universality of the dreaded first day of the work week. The opening lines, "You’re late for work, you’ve gotta run, The weekend went by, now it’s gone" set the tone for the rest of the song as the singer navigates through the annoyances of life on a Monday. The line, "The first shit of the day, is the dog shit on your way" is a clever play on words that captures the frustration of having to deal with unexpected obstacles first thing in the morning.
The song goes on to describe the aggravation of being stuck in traffic and the annoyance of co-workers who are less than friendly. There is also a nod to the idea that things can always be worse, as evidenced by the line, "You’re not the only person to be hurt, Things go wrong and you can’t help it, If you ain’t blind you can tell it, Sometimes it’s Monday all over the world". The notion that everyone has bad days, not just the singer, is a reminder that we are all in this together.
The song also contains a sense of humor, as evidenced by the tongue-in-cheek lyrics about the hairstylist and the scratching of the boss's car. The overall message of the song seems to be that Mondays are universally disliked and are often filled with frustration and irritation, but we all manage to get through them.
