Every Day is Sunday
The Slackers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sounds pretty good, man, I should be overjoyed.
Everyday is Sunday,
Everyday is Sunday,
Everyday is Sunday,
Friday never comes.
I'll show I'm the genius you've thought all along.
Everyday is Sunday,
Everyday is Sunday,
Everyday is Sunday,
Friday never comes.
I've got nothing to do,
and sit here, staring at you.
And you've got nothing to say,
I wanna hear.
You've got nothing to say,
So I'm just wasting away.
I guess I'll go outsite and do nothing!
Everyday is Sunday when you're unemployed.
And then tomorrows Monday,
And then tomorrows Monday,
And then tomorrows Monday,
And then tomorrows Monday.
The Slackers' "Every Day is Sunday" is a song that explores the way someone can feel restless and frustrated with their life when they are unemployed. The lyrics suggest that despite the fact that everyday is essentially a day off, it doesn't necessarily result in any happiness or contentment. The repetition of the phrase "Everyday is Sunday" drives home this point, as the singer is clearly trapped in a routine that they are unable to break out of.
The line "Sounds pretty good, man, I should be overjoyed" is almost sarcastic in its delivery, suggesting that the singer is trying to convince themselves that they are happy with their life despite everything. The following verses see the singer wondering whether they should try to be productive and creative in their unemployment, but it seems as though they don't really have the motivation to do so.
The chorus returns to the idea that everyday is just another Sunday, with the implication being that they all merge into one indistinguishable period of time. The frustration at this situation is palpable in the lyrics, with the singer saying "I've got nothing to do, and sit here, staring at you." It's clear that they are bored and restless, but they don't seem to have any way to change their situation.
Overall, "Every Day is Sunday" is a song about feeling stuck in a rut when you're unemployed. It artfully captures the boredom and restlessness that can come with being out of work, especially when every day seems to blend together into an endless cycle.
